Kind of interesting.

From 2003 back to 2000, only three of the 17 receivers drafted in the first round are still with the team that drafted them. Andre Johnson (Houston), Bryant Johnson (Arizona) and Reggie Wayne (Indianapolis) still collect a paycheck from the team that had so many wonderful things to say about them in the days following their selection.

Here is the list of first-round wide receivers from 2000-2005 that are no longer with the team that drafted them. It's not a pretty group and provides a sobering reality check about what may lay ahead for the Class of 2007. Some are still playing and a few are starting, but not where they were selected.

2000: Peter Warrick, Travis Taylor, Sylvester Morris, R. Jay Soward, Plaxico Burress
2001: David Terrell, Koren Robinson, Rod Gardner, Freddie Mitchell, Santana Moss
2002: Donte' Stallworth, Ashley Lelie, Javon Walker
2003: Charles Rogers
2004: Rashaun Woods
2005: Mike Williams

Good thing we didn't draft a WR in the first round... :wink:

TT's always one step ahead of everyone else. :wink:

And beyond that, how many of those guys are players you'd covet for your team? I mean, covet as a #1 or maybe even a #2 guy? Javon Walker, for sure. But who else?

Yes, surely they will all be busts :roll:

I'd take Plaxico and Santana Moss. He's the best Moss in the league right now.

Im pretty sure I would take Reggie Wayne. He seems to be OK. Roy Williams. For every 2-3 busts, there has been 1 really good WR. I dont like those odds, so its a good thing I'm not an NFL GM.
