And to top it off that player went in the second round the year prior and did nothing to enhance his value. The first we traded was, at the time, considered to be a very deep draft.

but the 33rd pick is almost the first round!



keep it in the Favre thread!

Gotta love the quotes about having to make this move because they weren't sure David Klingler would be there when they picked. Yikes that could have made the 90's look like the 80's.

Looks like it was - 11 Pro Bowlers in the first round, although I don't think any of them will end up in the hall. It was also the Steve Emtmen draft, and not a draft to be looking for a QB. The best one that came out of it was Brad Johnson from the 9th round with maybe a nod to Jeff Blake who had a decent career.

Does anyone else remember Brad Johnson's role in losing the national championship - you know, the one Florida State lost because Casey Weldon lost his shoe and Johnson had to come in on a third down??

The trade for Green (the real Batman) was a great trade. If it wasn't for 4th and........ah fuck it.
