Most dissapointed pick NOT MADE in round 1 since 2000

Don't forget his high motor.

Can't put a tape measure to that.

Adrian in the fourth; what a steal!

The rest...were very forgetable.

He was drafted in the third, actually. He was our 4th pick. Still a really good pick, especially considering how teams are investing 1st rounders in safeties now.

If we're talking hindsight, there are too many to pick just one. However, if we're talking which pick did I want at the time of the draft that they didn't make, then I would have to go with Suggs.

In the 2000 draft, I don't remember Shaun Alexander even being considered when we picked (7th overall). It was between Thomas Jones and Ron Dayne and I remember being glad we picked Jone instead of Dayne. I guess it's true what they say, "there are no winners in a game of losers."

Prior to the draft I thought that the Ravens would take Jones, leaving us with Jamal Lewis.

Good lord, the 2001 draft stunk:

2001 1 1 2 2 Leonard Davis T Texas
2 2 3 34 Kyle Vanden Bosch DE Nebraska
3 2 23 54 Michael Stone DB Memphis
4 3 2 64 Adrian Wilson DB North Carolina
5 4 3 98 Bill Gramatica K South Florida
6 4 28 123 Marcus Bell DT Memphis
7 5 2 133 Mario Fatafehi DT Kansas State
8 6 3 166 Bobby Newcombe WR Nebraska
9 7 2 202 Renaldo Hill DB Michigan State
10 7 46 246 Tevita Ofahengaue TE Brigham Young

I don't know about that...

Six of ten picks; first four picks and two others, still active in the NFL going into their seventh season. Just off the top of my head, I would think that's better than average.

Blame the Cards for not properly managing and developing their draft picks and then I'll agree!

Suggs

I remeber wanting LT at the time. Jones was considered a bum, and I wanted to go LT.

The 2000 draft, I remember wating Urlacher and Peterson, and Deltha O'Neal

Yeah sadly the TJones pick meant that there was no way the Cards would take LaDanian. Sort of like signing EJames and losing Davis meant that there was no way the Cards would take Adria.....

Oops, sorry I forgot we're not supposed to bring that up.

2004 draft. Cards took Fitz instead of trading down. I wanted either Roy Williams in that slot or Steven Jackson and ???? with the multi pick trade.

or

2002 when Cards took Wendell Bryant instead of Jeremy Shockey.
