Who are best draft picks since 2000?

| Tags: , , ,

Who’s the best draft pick of this millennium? NFL.com analyst Elliot Harrison ponders just that as he lists the top 25 picks since 2000.

Some hightlights from Harrison’s list:

Calvin Johnson: “The league’s most explosive wide receiver should have been the top overall pick in 2007, but the Raiders made the JaMarcus Russell mistake.”

Julius Peppers: “Considering David Carr went before Peppers and Joey Harrington immediately after … perhaps this is Case 1.0 that drafting a “franchise” quarterback is not always best.”

Adrian Peterson: “The competition in this stratosphere — the top first-round picks of the 2000s — is ridiculous.”

LaDainian Tomlinson: “Just think: Young football fans who are just starting high school probably think of Tomlinson as an average third-down back.”
