And they didn't have a first round draft pick in 2000, and Damien Woody hit free agency and went to detroit. So they've drafted well since 1999. They have a total of 6 1st rounder drafted by them on their team. Not including Willie McGinest (which makes 7). the others i believe have for the most part been busts do to injury.

Funny if we signed willie McGinest (when/if he is cut) we'd have 3 of the Patriots first round draft picks on our team...

The Jets have almost all of their first round draft picks. The exceptions being Santana Moss (traded), Anthony Becht (traded), James Farrior, KeyShawn Johnson

We have 1 of the Jets 1st round draft picks (keyshawn).

the point im trying to make is, these choices have shaped teams. I think you really need to use the picks instead of trading down (all the time).

We have 4 since 2002, +1 in Greg Ellis.

2004 - traded
2001 - traded
2000 - traded
1999 - bust
1997 - bust
1996 - traded
1995 - traded
1994 - bust
1993 - traded

And we wonder why we don't have very many all star players on our team?

3 busts, but we've traded our 1st round pick 6 times in the 13 years...

P.S. the steelers have all of their #1s (-Plaxico Burress and Troy Edwards) since 1998 still on their roster. and Chad Scott JUST went to the Patriots last year.

Its time for us to simply acquire our first rounders... they're not usually busts... at least for people who draft well. I don't want to see us draft another defensive end in the first round for the next 7 years...

P.S. something that parcells has done since coming to dallas

Brought in these players:
Terry glenn fmr 1st rounder
keyshawn johnson fmr 1st rounder
drew bledsoe fmr 1st rounder
aaron glenn fmr 1st rounder
eddie george fmr 1st rounder
Marc Colombo fmr 1st rounder

Obviously eddie george didn't pan out, but you get the picture. He is bringing in a lot of players with high pedigree, especially players that he has a lot of experience with.

every team has busts -- ours were bad but you expect that when you draft late. What really killed us were those two years above. No surprise that the team that we gave those picks to was in the SB.

I mean think about it. We had a great offense, but when was the last time we drafted an offensive linemen?

Not since Jerry bought the team. Did we get troy a good receiver through the draft? nope... last time we drafted a receiver in the first was 1991.

Troy aikamn, emmitt smith, alvin harper, david lafleur... thats all of our 1st round offensive picks since jerry jones bought the team... and we wonder why we have little offense?

Four years in a row we drafted offense in the first round.
88,89,90,91

in 92 we got jimmy smith in the 2nd round who is tearing it up in jaxonville =/
in 93 we got kevin williams in the 2nd round
in 94 we got Larry Allen in the 2nd round
in 95 we got Sherman Williams/Kendell Watkins in the 2nd round (traded out of the first)

From 1994-2001, not a single receiver on the first day
