NFL Draft 2000: Top Prospects
Possible 1st Round Selections
| Quarterbacks | QB | RB | WR | TE | OL | DL | LB | DB | ||||
| Chad Pennington | Sr. | Marshall | 6'3" | 220 lbs. | 4.9 |
| Chris Redman | Sr. | Louisville | 6'3" | 225 lbs. | 4.9 |
| Not a great QB crop this year, only Pennington and Redman deserve first round consideration. Redman started the year ahead of Pennington, but Pennington's solid play as well as the Thundering Herd's good season has him atop most team's draft boards at QB. Neither one of these guys are going to be penciled in as the immediate starter for their respective teams this year. Drew Brees would have been the #1 QB had he chosen to leave school early this year. | |||||
| Running Backs | QB | RB | WR | TE | OL | DL | LB | DB | ||||
| Shaun Alexander | Sr. | Alabama | 6'0" | 215 lbs. | 4.6 |
| Thomas Jones | Sr. | Virginia | 5'10" | 205 lbs. | 4.5 |
| Ron Dayne | Sr. | Wisconsin | 5'10" | 260 lbs. | 4.6 |
| Jamal Lewis | Jr. | Tennessee | 5'11" | 200 lbs | 4.5 |
| J.R. Redmond | Sr. | Arizona State | 5'11" | 205 lbs. | 4.5 |
| Shyrone Stith | Jr. | Virginia Tech | 5'8" | 205 lbs. | 4.5 |
| There are no superstar running back prospects this year as we saw last year in Edgerin James and Ricky Williams. However, there is a lot of depth at RB. There potentially could be 4 or 5 RB's picked in the first round as well as some decent backs available later in the draft(Canidate, Prentice) | |||||
| Wide Receivers | QB | RB | WR | TE | OL | DL | LB | DB | ||||
| Peter Warrick | Sr. | Florida St. | 5'10" | 195 lbs. | 4.4 |
| Plaxico Burress | Jr. | Michigan St. | 6'5" | 225 lbs. | 4.5 |
| Dez White | Jr. | Georgia Tech | 6'0" | 215 lbs. | 4.4 |
| Slyvester Morris | Sr. | Jackson St. | 6'3" | 205 lbs. | 4.4 |
| Travis Taylor | Jr. | Florida | 6'1" | 205 lbs. | 4.5 |
| Jerry Porter | Sr. | West Virginia | 6'2" | 215 lbs. | 4.5 |
| R.J. Soward | Sr. | USC | 5'10" | 175 lbs. | 4.3 |
| There is a lot of depth at receiver this year. The obvious top receiver in the draft is Florida State's Peter Warrick, closely followed by another potential top ten pick, Plaxico Burress. Once those two are gone, there will still be a group of decent first round receivers who could possibly win starting roles this year. There will also be some tremendous speed(Coles, Soward) and playmakers(Northcutt, Cavil) available in the second and third rounds. All of the above are likely first round selections except Soward, who should go early second. He is the fastest of all mentioned which could raise his stock. | |||||
| Tight Ends | QB | RB | WR | TE | OL | DL | LB | DB | ||||
| Bubba Franks | Jr. | Miami | 6'6" | 260 lbs. | 4.7 |
| Anthony Becht | Sr. | West Virginia | 6'5" | 260 lbs. | 4.8 |
| The only real TE that is worth first round consideration is Miami's Bubba Franks. Franks might sneak into the top ten at #10, going to Denver as I predict. Becht could slip into the first round if a team goes out on a limb, but he is more likely to be a mid-second round pick. I just didn't want Bubba to be lonely. | |||||
| Offensive Line | QB | RB | WR | TE | OL | DL | LB | DB | ||||
| Chris Samuels | Sr. | Alabama | 6'5" | 290 lbs. | 5.0 |
| Chris McIntosh | Sr. | Wisconsin | 6'7" | 320 lbs. | 5.4 |
| Casey Colman | Jr. | Tennessee | 6'4" | 320 lbs. | 5.2 |
| Stockar McDougle | Sr. | Oklahoma | 6'6" | 350 lbs. | 5.3 |
| Travis Claridge | Sr. | USC | 6'5" | 315 lbs. | 5.2 |
| Marvel Smith | Jr. | Arizona State | 6'5" | 315 lbs. | 5.2 |
| Todd Wade | Sr. | Mississippi | 6'7" | 320 lbs. | 5.1 |
| Offensive line really isn't my specialty. I don't have the time to tape and analyze blocking after the games as a full-time scout can. But, here is what I think anyway: I see some huge lineman both in height and weight whose size alone should make them first or early second round picks. The top lineman of the group seems to be Alabama's Chris Samuels who put on a strength display at the combine. | |||||
| Defensive Line | QB | RB | WR | TE | OL | DL | LB | DB | ||||
| Courtney Brown | Sr. | Penn State | 6'5" | 270 lbs. | 4.7 |
| Corey Simon | Sr. | Florida State | 6'2" | 290 lbs. | 4.8 |
| Shaun Ellis | Sr. | Tennessee | 6'4" | 280 lbs. | 4.8 |
| John Engelberger | Sr. | Virginia Tech | 6'4" | 270 lbs. | 4.7 |
| Darren Howard | Sr. | Kansas State | 6'4" | 270 lbs. | 4.8 |
| Chris Hovan | Sr. | Boston College | 6'3" | 290 lbs. | 4.9 |
| Along the defensive line, Courtney Brown and Corey Simon are the top end and tackle, respectively. There also appears to be some more quality first round talent at this position and Boston College's Chris Hovan's stock is rising as a result of his combine workouts. | |||||
| Linebackers | QB | RB | WR | TE | OL | DL | LB | DB | ||||
| LaVar Arrington | Jr. | Penn State | 6'3" | 230 lbs. | 4.5 |
| Brian Urlacher | Sr. | New Mexico | 6'3" | 245 lbs. | 4.6 |
| Rob Morris | Sr. | BYU | 6'2" | 250 lbs. | 4.7 |
| Julian Peterson | Sr. | Michigan State | 6'4" | 240 lbs. | 4.5 |
| Keith Bulluck | Sr. | Syracuse | 6'3" | 245 lbs. | 4.7 |
| Na'il Diggs | Jr. | Ohio State | 6'3" | 235 lbs. | 4.6 |
| Brandon Short | Sr. | Penn State | 6'2" | 245 lbs. | 4.6 |
| The linebacker position has a little bit of everything this year. A big time playmaker in Arrington, a few tweeners in Urlacher and Peterson, and some talented inside linebackers available in the late first/early second round. I think there is a good crop of linebackers this year, certainly enough to go around. It seems like there are more OLB's projected as first rounders, but there will be some very solid ILB available in rounds 2 and 3. | |||||
| Defensive Backs | QB | RB | WR | TE | OL | DL | LB | DB | ||||
| Deon Grant | Jr. | Tennessee | 6'2" | 205 lbs. | 4.4 |
| Ahmed Plummer | Sr. | Ohio State | 6'0" | 195 lbs. | 4.4 |
| Deltha O'Neal | Sr. | California | 5'11" | 190 lbs. | 4.4 |
| There is a very weak group of DB's available in this year's draft. Atop the list is S Deon Grant who could fall on draft due to questions about his tackling skills. After that it is anybody's guess. Ahmed Plummer and Deltha O'Neal are possible first round selections, and Virginia Tech Jr. Ike Charlton could sneak into the first round. Other than that, no DB's should get a look in the first round. | |||||
