    In hindsight, how would you grade the 2000 draft

    OK, this one is much more relevant. Non-impact players have matured and are looking at their second NFL contract. This is where the men are separated from the boys. 2000 was a pivotal year because it was the first draft in what appeared to be a rebuilding era. It could have set the stage for the future. What do you think of John Butler's last draft with the Bills? Personally, I think he either missed big time or he torpedoed it on purpose...either way...an F.


    Here they are:

    Rd Sel# Player Pos. Ht. Wt. 40yd School
    1 26 Erik Flowers DE 6-4 270 4.75 Arizona State
    2 58 Travares Tillman FS 6-1 195 4.6 Georgia Tech
    3 89 Corey Moore OLB 5-11 215 4.6 Virginia Tech
    4 121 Avion Black WR 6-0 180 4.4 Tennessee State
    5 156 Sammy Morris RB 6-0 220 4.55 Texas Tech
    6 194 Leif Larsen DT 6-5 300 5.0 Texas-El Paso
    7 233 Drew Haddad WR 5-10 185 4.6 Buffalo
    7 251 Dashon Polk OLB 6-1 220 4.75 Arizona




    For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding.

    1 26 Erik Flowers DE 6-4 270 4.75 Arizona State

    complete bust


    2 58 Travares Tillman FS 6-1 195 4.6 Georgia Tech

    marginal backup...bust


    3 89 Corey Moore OLB 5-11 215 4.6 Virginia Tech

    shot in leg and then did not call team...bust


    4 121 Avion Black WR 6-0 180 4.4 Tennessee State

    bust


    5 156 Sammy Morris RB 6-0 220 4.55 Texas Tech

    special teams captain...may have been a steal.


    6 194 Leif Larsen DT 6-5 300 5.0 Texas-El Paso

    contributed more than Flowers but still a complete bust


    7 233 Drew Haddad WR 5-10 185 4.6 Buffalo

    never made team


    7 251 Dashon Polk OLB 6-1 220 4.75 Arizona

    managed to keep roster spot all this time...

    who gave it a D?? Sammy Morris salvaged this draft from an F- but not good enough to get it a D.

    I said D but only because of Sammy Morris! But Eb, I think you're right!

    I gave it an A. The last straw in cutting ties with Butler.

    I agree. It was a lousy draft filled with reaches that produced only 2 backup-at-best players.

    I gave it a D. Polk in the 7th and Morris.


    But then again, these letter grades are all subjective.

    What's really stupid is when these polls come out with A+, A, A-

    Do we really need 13 levels to slot the draft???
