Re: And the idiot of the year award goes to............
a lot more rbs are taken... i just remember how well courtney brown worked out :P
top 5 DE picks since 98:
98 (3) andre wadsworth (who? 3 sacks in 2 years)
00 (1) courtney brown (bust)
01 (4) justin smith (decent, but lots of #10-18 DEs are better)
02 (2) julius peppers (amazing)
so 50% are busts and another 25% aren't the superstars you'd hope to get. how is that safe?
top 5 RB picks since 98:
98 (5) Curtis Enis (who? total bust)
99 (4) Edgerrin James (amazing)
99 (5) Ricky Williams (amazing, though kooked out)
00 (5) Jamal Lewis (good/great, 2k yard season on a terrible offense)
01 (5) LaDainian Tomlinson (looking like a HoFer)
05 (2) Ronnie Brown (decent, too early)
05 (4) Cedric Benson (decent, too early)
05 (5) Carnell Williams (great)
so, 62.5% are great, 25% look promising, but its too early to be sure, and 12.5% are total busts. please explain how a top 5 DE a safer pick. Ki-Jana was 11 years ago, his failure alone doesn't mean running backs aren't a much safer pick. Just looking at the names above should prove that.
at least for me, 50% >>>>>> 12.5%
