We don't go anywhere, because we draft so poorly.
2000- Erik Flowers....played football from 2000-2005...then joined toronto argonaunts for 1 year in 2006
2001 - Nate clements....played well, but we didn't keep him. a long history of having top talent DB's but choosing not to keep them.
2002 - Mike Williams....out of football from 2007-09..
2003 - Willis McGahee...has a documented bad work ethic after making the NFL. Baltimore fans hate him too.
2004 - lee evans - hardly a star as he lets double coverage be his excuse, but he also just doesn't get thrown to. So we potentially have a star but haven't matched him up with the right guy.
jp losman - another guy who was out of the league in 5 years and then played in a second hand league
2005 - No pick because of JP...our first pick was roscoe parrish...Another guy who will be jonesing for 5 years at the NFL to play in an inferior league
2006 - Whitner - Average at best
McCargo - mildly capable of tying his own shoes....at best
2007 - Marshawn - a stud for the most part. we have to see how he comes back from his suspension. As a whole that 2007 draft class was very good. lots of contributors....on a deeper team, that draft would have stabilized a team for a handful of years.
2008 - Leodis Mckelvin - ok so far. Probably not utilized properly. fumbled the new england game. Also fun fact about the 2007 draft class. this weekend only Reggie corner will have any serious playing time . Leodis, hardy and Ellis won't even be dressed. Bowen was cut, Omon wasn't given mroe than 3 carries in 3 weeks as the number 2 back, bell is injured and steve johnson continues to sit as we let roscoe make a mockery of the NFL. That's a hell of a draft class.
2009 - Maybin...a known project. probably not suited to our defense. too early to comment, but for a team that needed a starter now, maybin wasn't going to help early.
Wood....a known day 1 starter. Has played very well on the whole but played poorly like a rookie is apt to do in his rookie season.
Any other team struggle like this with their first round picks? I challenge you to find one. A handful of guys who were out of the league in 5 years....
