I based my picks on the needs the team has had since that draft moving forward.

2 same position, just upgrade
4 no need to justify ed reed
6 line became an issue for KC. could have addressed it
8 no need to justify clinton portis
10 defense and character have been there prob for years
12 similar need, just an upgrade
14 best available
16 didn’t have good wrs. didn’t until last year
18 best available, avoid future headache
20 future need
22 best available
24 wr has been a need even then
26 needed rb since westy wouldn’t be there later
28 same position, upgrade
30 they picked him so it’s a need, he just proved he’s worth a higher pick
32 need and future need

Good idea, although it’s kind of odd doing a 2002 draft while commenting on what the team looks like in 2008. Wouldn’t you base it on what the needs were in 2002?

Yes sir.
The Best
Lito was #26
Michael Lewis #58
Sheldon Brown #59
Westy #91

Who hits home runs on their first four picks?

The Rest
Scott Peters #124 (can’t win ‘em all, but he’s still in the league)
Freddie Milons #162
Tyreo Harrison #198
Raheem Brock #238 (been decent for the Colts)

Look at those colors. brand consistency! The eagles had a great draft considering how much complaining the fans did. But you know that’s Dirty Philly Phor you.

Cool idea…I wonder if the Pats would have chosen Stallworth over Graham then knowing what they know now….
