2002

3(79) Rashad Bauman (CB)
3(87) Cliff Russell (WR)
5(159) Andre Lott (DB)
5(160) Robert Royal
6(192) Reggie Coleman (OT)
7(230) Jeff Grau (TE)
7(234) Greg Scott - (DE)
7(257) Rock Cartwright

Since the 7 round draft began in 1994, we have had:
'94: 7 Picks, 4 in the first three rounds - 7(4)
95: 8 (3)
96: 6 (1) (The one high pick was Andre Johnson - Blecchh)(A Cerrato pick)
97: 8 (3)
98: 7 (2) - No First Rounder
99: 6 (2)
00: 8 (3) - Two First Rounders (Arrington, Samuels)
01: 5 (2)
02: 10(4) - See above
03: 3(2) - No First (T. Jacobs, D. Dockery, G. Hamdan)
04: 4(2) - (Cooley, Taylor)
05: 6(2) - Two Firsts (Rogers Campbell)
06: 6(1) - No First (McIntosh in the 2nd)
07: 5(1)


I hope we can get some good hits early. I don't know though - we haven't been overwhelmingly successful in the 2-3 rounds.

Cerrato wasn't here in '96. Andre Johnson was a Casserly pick. Not one of his best moments.

Aaack - you are correct sir. Sorry about that.

One of those picks needs to be spent on Joe Flacco. I just finished watching all of Jason Campbell's passes this past season on my TIVO and I took some notes and noticed that he telegraphs his passes 65% of the time. I told you guys when we drafted him, he's not smart enough to be an NFL starting QB. Joe Flacco got a 27 on his Wonderlic.

Here's my mock

1-Calais Campbell
2-Chilo Rachal
3-Joe Flacco
3-We need offensive line help

If Gibbs wasn't so clueless and traded for Duckett we could have a 4th rounder too.

Thank you god, hopefully we won't waste picks on guys like Dallas Sartz.

Correct. Hopefully we can do like every other team and draft all starters with every pick we have.

Every other team is hardly that successful w/the draft. Often, not even half of draft picks make a team. If all draft picks made their teams every year there'd be hardly any vets around.

I didn't think I needed to put the sarcasm tags around my post. I guess I was wrong.

I google'd Jason Campbells wonderlic.....28.... very good IMO and a whole point higher than the BLUE HEN you mention

I'm curious just how you told us how dumb JC was when we drafted him when your join date to this forum was March 2008?

I think someone else is clueless!

Because I had to rejoin the site after my username stopped working. But ask any of the mods here they know I've been around. I don't let them forget me

Nice bonus. That extra third rounder could be very helpful. I think you can get something really good with that pick. And I'm not frowning on the extras in the seventh either. SWEET!

This is exceptionally good news.
Take it with a grain of salt though.
We essentially got the top choice in the 4th round.
The 7th rounders would have been undrafted.
Of course there is always an advantage with a pick vs undrafted though these folks are unlikely to stick.

It is entirely possible to get a starter with the high pick though!
That is wonderful!!

Something is better than nothing.

It is basically the first 4th round pick, but tell that to his agent.

It is still the 96th pick though. A chance to land one of the top 100 college players in the country who will have a legitimate shot to make this roster and contribute. It's a gift for a free agent former skins who performed well. We can thank Buffalo for giving Dockery a huge contract, and we can thank Dock for staying healthy and playing well for them.

I said it before, but bottom line is that makes 4 picks in the first 3 rounds. Good stuff.
