I'm bored, so I was going through our drafts, draft years and other team's drafts to see how draft picks on average pan out. Our 2000 Draft was stacked: Code: Year Rnd Pick Name Pos To AP1 PB St CarAV G 2000 1 12 Shaun Ellis DE 2010 0 2 10 [B]66[/B] 170 2000 1 13 John Abraham DE 2010 2 4 8 [B]82[/B] 2000 1 18 Chad Pennington QB 2010 0 0 5 [B]55[/B] 89 2000 1 27 Anthony Becht TE 2009 0 0 9 [B]25[/B] 58 2000 3 78 Laveranues Coles WR 2009 0 1 9 [B]67[/B] 153 2000 5 143 Windrell Hayes WR 2001 0 0 0 1 9 2000 6 179 Tony Scott DB 2001 0 0 0 3 23 2000 7 218 Richard Seals DT 0 0 If we didn't go through a coaching carousel (and if Chad stayed healthy) we could have won one with this class... Anyone find more value from another draft class? Edit: Feel free to peruse and create different scenarios guys: http://www.pro-football-reference.com/draft/ use the PRE button on top to format the output, and use the CODE tags to get it all nice..

It's tough to look at the pre-1967 drafts because many players were getting drafted by teams in both leagues. Voss, McGee, Wright, Bowman, Lacey, R. Johnson, Ware, Brooks, H. Johnson, Popp, Lehman, Scott, Condren, Shiner, Hand, Radosevich, Mayne, Rhome, and Butler never played for the Jets.
