Was Just Looking Back At The 2001 Draft.

I was just running things through my mind about a "re do" of the 2001 draft, and was thinking about where Steve Smith would be drafted if it were done today.

The first few rounds of that draft may be some of the best in the last 20 years.

That said, if you could re do that draft, where would SS go in your opinion?

I am thinking certainly top 10, but curious if it would be top 5.

What say you?

Brees would have been first overall and a Falcon, probably still to this day. Smitty would have been a first rounder, might have been a Bear, poor fella. Ken Lucas would have been a third or fourth instead of a second. Houshwhatshisname would have been a first. Rob Bironas and Shayne Graham might have actually been drafted, and Antonio Pierce definitely would have been.

Great draft.

    • The Bucs waived shilo sanders after he got ejected. 
    • I'm just tired of ppl saying he's so accurate and then have to see recievers slow down to recieve the ball, ruining any chance at YAC
    • Some people will really look at stuff like this and say "no more excuses" but then make excuses to try and explain away the validity of big-time throws. 🙃   Back on topic though, as I mentioned in the other AT thread earlier, I hope that the team is still exploring the deal. If the Vikings want the Panthers to take on some of the salary, then it had better be at worst a 4th-round pick (though I imagine Dan angling for a 3rd). If they're willing to take on all of it, then maybe at worst a 5th. Tough pill to swallow, giving up a 4th for a 35yr old WR, but if MIN believes they can have similar success behind McCarthy then it could be a smart deal for them. Hell, if AT has any gas in the tank and gives them a 1yr sweetheart deal to close out at home, even better for Minnesota. Yea, Bryce loses his best and most reliable WR. Hunter Renfrow though isn't what I would call a huge step down though (if he's as advertised throughout camp), and it gives more reps to TMac + XL + Coker. This season is all about continued development and answering some of the looming questions (Is Bryce the guy? Is Evero the DC going fwd? How do the young WRs develop? How long does it take this defense to bounce back from being historically awful?).
