Recap of Mid-Late Round Picks from 2003

Since we have been trading away so many of our draft picks, I thought I might look back on last year's draft to see who was drafted in rounds 3-7. Some of those drafted in rounds 3-7 were:

3rd rounder
WR Kelly Washington – Looks to be a solid, speedy #2 wideout in Cincy
TE Jason Witten – Will be a fantastic TE by his 2nd or 3rd season in Dallas
RB Musa Smith – Looks like a decent backup to Jamal Lewis
G Derrick Dockery – Could be a dominating lineman here in D.C.
CB Ricky Manning Jr. – Had a fantastic rookie season
RB Justin Fargas – Looked impressive in spot duty last season in Oakland
QB Chris Simms – Isn’t his father, but should be a good QB nonetheless

4th rounder
RB Quentin Griffin – Looked good when Portis went down last season
RB Lee Suggs – Looked very good in Green’s absence in Cleveland
DT Dan Klecko – I think all I need to say is wow.
CB Asante Samuel – Had a very good rookie season in New England
RB Dominic Davis – Became the tailback Houston needed so bad
RB Onterrio Smith – Played some good back-up duty in Minnesota
WR Brandon Lloyd – Made some monster circus catches in San Fran
CB Dennis Weathersby – Was a 1st or 2nd rounder before being shot

5th round
C Dan Koppen – Played awesome for the Pats at center.

6th round
Drew Henson – Don’t know what this will yield, but perhaps a 3rd rounder this draft?

Those are just the names most football fans now know. More good players are bound to emerge from last year's class.

Wow, I didn't know Ricky Manning Jr. was a rookie. He played a few awesome games for a rookie.

So there IS talent in later rounds!

There def. is talent. You just have to be able to find it. So far Cerratto has been terrible with late picks. He shouldn't get credit for his early picks bc anybody can make those. GM's make there money in the later rounds.

I don't think Cerrato has done any worse than Casserly in picking in the later rounds of the draft (Davis of course, is the notable exception). As far as the early rounds are concerned, I don't think anyone can pick winners in those rounds (See Desmond Howard, Andre Carter, Heath Shuler vs. Patrick Ramsey, Chris Samuels, LaVar Arrington).

I was being sarcastic. Talent in the draft as a whole is hit and miss. Hard to see what a guy will do once he gets to the pros. Different guys react differently.

Actually Casserly drafted Champ Bailey and Jon Jansen right before he was fired. He also set up THE trade with New Orleans that swapped 1st rd. picks (New Orleans drafted Ricky William-Redskins drafted Champ Bailey) and we got the rest of New Orleans picks in that draft plus the next years 1st round pick, that ended up being Lavar Arrington.
Earlier in his career Casserly was also credited for finding undrafted Free agent T Joe Jacoby and C Jeff Bostic. But you might be too young to know them.
