i was just looking back at recent Jets drafts, they have all been great. we got nugent and miller last year, vilma and erik coleman two years ago, dewayne robertson the year before that, and i believe in 2000, we drafted Pennington, Becht (good TE for a couple years) Shaun ellis and John Abraham...not to mention Kareem MCkenzie in 2001, and S. Moss in 2002, and L Coles in 2003
With the exception of last year, I would have to say the Colts. Almost every starter on the team has been drafted or signed out of college by the Colts. THe only ones who werent are: Brock (drafted by eagles, cut before camp and signed by the colts)Simon (eagles again)Reagor (Broncos)Stokley (Ravens)Fletcher (Bears)Lilja (Kansas City, signed out of training camp by the colts)Other then that ever starter and almost player was all drafted by the Colts.

I'll go with the Panthers.Carolina Draft Picks:2001 - Dan Morgan, Kris Jenkins, Steve Smith, Chris Weinke 2002 - Julius Peppers, DeShaun Foster, Will Witherspoon, Dante Wesley2003 - Jordan Gross, Colin Branch, Kindal Moorehead, Ricky Manning, Jr.2004 - Chris Gamble, Travelle Wharton2005 - Thomas Davis, Evan MathisIt shows you how a bad team could turn around with a few good drafts.

The Rams have wasted almost all of their 1st round picks (except Steven Jackson and Alex Barron). That classifys as good right?

Going back to 2000, our first rounder have been wasted a lot. With the exceptions of Adam Archuleta, Steven Jackson, and maybe Alex Barron (too soon to tell) we've screwed up. Here's proof...2005 Alex Barron OT2004 Steven Jackson RB2003 Jimmy Kennedy DT2002 Robert Thomas LB2001 Damione Lewis DT Adam Archuleta DB Ryan Pickett DT2000 Trung Canidate RB
Barron should atleast be solid. He started 11 games as a rookie and had to protect 3 different QB's his first season. I don't get Rams games very often, but during the Giants game he held his own against Micheal Strahan.
2005: Heath Miller2004: Ben Roethlisberger2003: Troy Polamalu2002: Kendall Simmons2001: Casey Hampton2000: Plaxico BurressNot a bad memory, we did great the last 6 years in the 1st round of the draft.
The Cincinnati Bengals had an Amazing 2001 draft, and some good and great ones from then on.2001round 1 - Justin Smith (Good Starter)round 2 - Chad Johnson (Top Receiver)round 4 - Rudi Johnson (Top RunningBack)round 7 - TJ Houshmanzedah (Great #2 Receiver)2002round 1 - Levi Jones (Good Starter)round 2 - Lamont Thompson (Starts FreeSafety for Titans)round 3 - Matt Schobel (Started, now an Eagle backup)2003 round 1 - Carson Palmer (Top Quarterback)round 2 - Eric Steinbach (Starting LeftGuard)round 3 - Kelley Washington (Decent #3,4 Receiver)round 4 - Jeremi Johnson (Starting FullBack)2004round 1 - Chris Perry (Good #2 RunningBack)round 2 - Keiwan Ratliff (Good NickleBack)round 2 - Madieu Williams (Starting FreeSafety, 103 tackles and 3 pics rookie season)round 3 - Landon Johnson (Sometime Starting OutsideLinebacker, 173 tackles in 2 seasons)round 4 - Robert Geathers (Starting RightDefensiveEnd)2005round 1 - David Pollack (Sometime Starting OutsideLinebacker)round 2 - Odell Thurman (Starting InsideLinebacker, 98 tackles 5 pics 1 fumrec 1.5 sacks 1 td)round 3 - Chris Henry (Rising Receiver, 6 touchdowns in rookie season)round 6 - Tab Perry (Starting Kick Returner)
