Grading the Draft! The 2005 draft, that is.

Stay connected for news and updates

Since "they" say we all need to wait three years to grade a draft class, and we're all just dying to pass some judgment right now, let's direct our attention to the way back machine.

1st round: Adam "Pacman" Jones.  Can't remember what happened to this guy.  In fairness, Antrell Rolle had a battery arrest in 2004 and hasn't faired well so far either - moving to safety this upcoming season I believe.

2nd round: Michael Roos.  We just resigned him, and aren't we all happy with this pick now.  It was called a reach.

3rd round: Courtney Roby.  oopsie.

3rd round:  Brandon Jones.  Still around, if he'd stop dropping passes he might prove a smiley face for us yet.

4th round:  Vincent Fuller.  Still around, eclipsed by Grif some last year, but had some good games for us.

4th round:  Dave Stewart.  Still around and making us pretty happy.

4th round:  Roydell Williams.  Still around, had 55 receptions for 719 yards and 4 TDs in 2007.  4 of our 9 TDs.  Almost half of our touchdowns.  Go figure.

5th round:  Damien Nash - A sad story.  Go with grace.

5th round:  Daniel Loper.  Still with us.

6th round:  Bo Scaife.  Still with us and still shows promise.

7th:  Reynaldo Hill.  Still with us, although some of us here may prefer he were not...

So, three years later, eight of the eleven players we drafted are still on the team (9 up until the Pacman trade).  1 is playing for the colts, and 1 passed on.  8 out of 11 draftees still on the team three years later seems pretty high percentage to me.

So whatcha think?  A?  F?
