Just Give Me a Second

Peppers

After the Houston Texans draft Reggie Bush in the upcoming NFL Draft, the New Orleans Saints will be on the clock.  With the addition of QB Drew Brees, many think that the Saints should trade down out of the No. 2 spot.  In my recent mock draft, I projected the Saints to draft DE Mario Williams (North Carolina State) as the second overall pick in the draft.  The following players are helping, or have helped, their teams after being selected as the second overall player in their respective draft:

Sid Luckman, Bears (1939)
George McAfee, Eagles (1940)
Roman Gabriel, Rams (1962)
Randy White, Cowboys (1975)
Tony Dorsett, Cowboys (1977)
Lawrence Taylor, Giants (1981)
Eric Dickerson, Rams (1983)
Marshall Faulk, Colts (1994)
Donovan McNabb, Eagles (1999)
LaVar Arrington, Redskins (2000)
Julius Peppers, Panthers (2002)

Avoiding the Draft

When The NFL Draft comes to an end, there will be mad scramble where teams fight to sign free agents that went un-drafted. Do those players ever make a team, let alone have any talent?

I will allow the following AFL/NFL players that went un-drafted answer that question:

Emlen Tunnell, Giants (1948)
Dick (Night Train) Lane, Rams (1952)
Larry Little, Chargers (1967)
Jin Langer, Dolphins (1970)
Drew Pearson, Cowboys (1973)
Joe Jacoby, Redskins (1981)
David Little, Steelers (1981)
Norm Johnson, Seahawks (1982)
Warren Moon, Oilers (1984)
Jessie Tuggle, Falcons (1987)
John Randle, Vikings (1990)
Rod Smith, Broncos (1995)
Marcus Pollard, Colts (1995)
Antonio Gates, Chargers (2003)

Ray could probably tell you about how good Antonio Gates has been in the NFL.
