What Happened To Every #1 Pick From The 2000's

Today we find out what actually happened to every NFL #1 draft pick from 2000-2009. Some of these draft picks turned out great for the respective teams that took them and others would turn into some of the biggest busts in NFL history.

If you have the number 1 pick you should pick the best available player. Not gamble on a QB unless that player is clearly the best

[@FantasyPhenoms]

I agree

[@aspect_537]

well it depends on what position your team needs most

[@FantasyPhenoms]

@@aspect_537 also true, take the best available player at any of those positional needs

[@Victor_Gabriele]

No man, that's just incorrect. NFL, as any other sport, has positional value, positional skill ceilling/floor relation, positional quality depth chart and time of play QBs, EDGEs and Ts impact the game a lot and you can put some wins on then RBs, LBs e S impact less for example And the difference between a "minimally good" QB and an elite QB (let's say, Patrick Mahomes x Baker Mayfield) is WAY higher than the difference between even an average RB and an elite RB (let's say CMC x Jerome Ford) Finding a WR (someone tall and fast with good hands) is way easier than finding an elite LT (someone extremally big, strong, heavy and agile) because the second body type combined with the second type of athleticism is rarer than the first. All of this impact on the draft. If your team wastes a #2 pick on an RB for example, you're investing a major pick on a player that will fall off after his 27 yo, that will have a production similar than someone just competent and you lost the opportunity of getting something better

[@ParadiseCity1329]

To be fair, Eli hasnt been off of the field completely. He's been the "coach" for the NFC in the Pro Bowl the last couple years. That shows that even retired, football will always be engrained within him. Football is almost a drug to him. Addicting for life, and to be fair, in this instance, that's not a bad thing whatsoever.

[@dcatura1]

Alex Smith had 7 different Offensive Coordinators his first 7 NFL Seasons. Guy was dealt a horrible hand until Harbaugh, and then got screwed over by that coach as well. The 49ers should have never let Colin Kaepernick take over the Starting QB job once Smith was healthy. That set the 49ers franchise back 10 years by itself.

[@FantasyPhenoms]

Yeah I know, that was a mess up. Need to triple check those kinds of things moving forward

[@dcatura1]

David Carr went to an expansion team Texans. They literally didn’t have an offensive lineman that would start on any other team their first two years.

[@johndente5567]

Eli should def be in the Hall of Fame. Ppl forget he’s top ten in passing yards, tds, and completions. He threw dimes when he needed to. And he got the job done twice against the GOAT

@@ParadiseCity1329 Same time. I will give you a quick recap of realignment in the NFL since 1970 1970 the AFL and NFL Merged and gave us these conferences and division. NFC West - 49ers, Falcons, Rams, Saints NFC East - Cowboys, Cardinals, Redskins, Giants, Eagles NFC Central - Packers, Vikings, Lions, Bears AFC East - Colts, Dolphins, Bills, Jets, Patriots AFC Central - Oilers (now Titans), Steelers, Browns, Bengals AFC West - Raiders, Broncos, Chargers, Chiefs In 1976 the Bucs and Seahawks joined the NFL, in 1976 the Bucs were in the AFC West and the Seahawks in the NFC West. In 1977 the Bucs were moved to the NFC Central and the Seahawks to the AFC West In 1995 the Panthers and Jaguars joined the NFL, the Jags in the AFC Central and the Panthers in the NFC West In 1996 the Cleveland Browns moved to Baltimore and became the Ravens and stayed in the AFC Central In 1999 The Cleveland Browns were reborn into the NFL and joined the AFC Central In 2002 The Houston Texans joined and the NFL realigned into the Divisions we have today.

Eli is a very average QB with some good seasons sprinkled in. Big Ben and Philip Rivers have been better through their careers. He will still get in because of his super bowls but if he gets in then Rivers should too. Big Ben is a lock

[@justanother1797]

Big Ben yes. The HOF counts both the regular season and the postseason and also the story of the NFL. But Philip Rivers and Eli regular season numbers were about the same when they were both playing. So it comes down to the postseason, where Eli was far better. Lastly I think you can tell the story of the NFL without Rivers but not without Eli.

[@kingjay9929]

@@justanother1797 fair point. I slightly disagree with your take about telling the story of the NFL without Rivers. Their stories will always be intertwined because of what happened draft night but I understand that his postseason success will hinder his chances to the HOF. Outside of some clutch moments against the NE defense I just think Eli was largely average. Peyton was clearly the better of the of two and it isn’t even close imo.

[@StarWarsFan2]

Eli deserves to be in the hall of fame, the patriots were supposed to go 19-0. When they met the giants in the Super Bowl the giants were 9-7 and barely snuck in to the playoffs the patriots were 16-0 and lost to the giants. I believe Eli deserves the hall of fame. He beat the GOAT twice.
