History of the #30 pick

susweel · 2012-04-23T14:26:28-07:00

Im going back ten years just to see what kind of hits and misses there was for this pick. 2001 Colts WR Reggie Wayne -Good pick 2002 Steelers G Kendall Simmons - Bust 2003 Chargers CB Sammy Davis - Bust 2004 Lions RB Kevin Jones - Bust 2005 Steelers TE Heath Miller - Good pick 2006 Colts RB Joseph Addai - Good pick 2007 Chargers WR Craig Davis - Bust 2008 Jets TE Justin Keller - Good Pick 2009 Titans WR Kenny Britt - Good pick 2010 Lions RB Javid Best - TBD but its looking like a bust 2011 Jet DE Muhammed Wilkerson - TBD Looks like the odds are about 50/50 on this pick in the last ten years.

Good Post sus!

Interestingly, a TE, WR, or RB seems very common at this pick which bodes well for us!

Yah I also noticed that, I'd be shocked if we didnt draft one of those positions.

Agreed. Very interesting. Crossing my fingers for the next Reggie Wayne to be there at #30!

I still, to this day, do not get the Buster Davis pick. Talk about a reach...

Sooooooo, what you're saying is TE has a 100% success rate at #30?

Didn't the Lions trade to get to Jahvid Best? NFI who they traded with. Don't really care.

The Lions are responsible for a bust and a TBD. Thats not counting Joey Harrington, Mike Williams, I forgot the other wide receivers name that they drafted really high and ended up on the Cowboys. The Chargers had two bust and the Colts, conversely, had two good picks. I think the organization has something to do with it.

Still, this is really interesting.

The dude you're probably thinking of is Roy Williams out of Texas who ended up on the Cowgirls. I agree, the organization has to be taken into account.
