Well, that was the year we drafted Champ Bailey. In the second round, we got Jon Jansen. Here's how the rest of the draft went down:
Bailey, Champ DB Georgia 1 7 (f/Chi)
Jansen, Jon T Michigan 2 37 (f/Chi)
Stimson, Nate LB Georgia Tech 4 107 (f/NO)
Smith, Derek T Virginia Tech 5 165 (f/Den)
Hall, Jeff K Tennessee 6 181
Alexander, Tim WR Oregon St. 7 217
After the second round, you can see how well we did. I'll bet none of those other guys are in the NFL now.
But I've heard that we got all of the Saints' picks for trading down too. So why do we only have six total picks? Could we have traded a few so that we could get 2 number one's in 2000? Maybe that's how we got Arrington and Samuels the following year.
