Rob Murray

2002 Draft Rewind

ROUND ONE


1. Eric Vozzola – Faulk, Marshall (RB STL) – Position Rank: 16th Missed four full games and parts of three others. Not what you want from the 1st pick.

2.Don Vozzola – Warner, Kurt (QB STL) – Position Rank: 42nd Another Don first round pick, another season long injury. Maybe Don should just trade his first pick each year.

3. Griff Coomer – Owens, Terrell (WR SF) – Position Rank: 3rd Questionable pick considering he was only the 3rd best WR, but he did outscore 5 of the first 6 picks.

4. Rick Mullin – Garcia, Jeff (QB SF) – Position Rank: 6th Only the 6th best QB, not what you want out the 4th pick in the draft.

5. Brian Gagnon – Alexander, Shaun (RB SEA) – Position Rank: 7th (Traded f/Maddox, Fauria) Not the greatest year, but he’s worth more than those two.

6. Jimmy Pedrero – Green, Ahman (RB GB) – Position Rank: 12th Injuries slowed him down to the 12th best back in the league.

7. Robio Murray – Holmes, Priest (RB KC) – Position Rank: 1st No Argument here. Over 2,200 Total yards and 24 Touchdowns. Can’t Touch This!

8. David Hightower – James, Edgerrin (RB IND) – Position Rank: 24th Never recovered from knee injury and never cracked the top-20 for running backs

9. Molly Coomer – Manning, Peyton (QB IND) – Position Rank: 2nd Considering how bad the other first-round picks were, this pick looks fabulous

10. Rob Masterson – Martin, Curtis (RB NYJ) – Position Rank: 18th Injuries slowed him down. Arguable only the 3rd best back on Rob’s fantasy team.

11. Richard Burrier – George, Eddie (RB TEN) – Position Rank: 15th Starting to look like the typical Heisman winner in the NFL…nothing much.

12. Justin Acerno – Williams, Ricky (RB MIA) – Position Rank: 2nd Second best pick in the 1st round. Possible 1st pick in next year’s draft.

ROUND TWO

13. Justin Acerno – McNabb, Donovan (QB PHI) – Position Rank: 5th Great pick, top QB, until season ending injury.

14. Richard Burrier – Brady, Tom (QB NE) – Position Rank: 8th Shocking pick that kicked ass, but still would have been available much, much, much later.

15. Rob Masterson – Tomlinson, L. (RB SD) – Position Rank: 3rd Third best running back in league makes his owner real happy.

16. Molly Coomer – McAllister, Deuce (RB NO) – Position Rank: 8th Late season injury drops him to 2nd best RB picked in the 2nd round behind Tomlinson

17. David Hightower – Bettis, Jerome (RB PIT) – Position Rank: 34th It’s time to say goodbye to this old Fighting Irish.

18. Robio Murray – Thomas, Anthony (RB CHI) – Position Rank: 36th Wasted and ugly pick that fittingly ended on Injured reserved.

19. Jimmy Pedrero – Dillon, Corey (RB CIN) – Position Rank: 17th Would probably be a top three pick in the draft if he weren’t a Bengal .

20. Brian Gagnon – Moss, Randy (WR MIN) – Position Rank: 4th (Trade f/J. Smith) So much for that Randy Ratio

21. Rick Mullin – Boston , David (WR ARI) – Position Rank: 65th Ha-ha-ha-ha.

22. Griff Coomer – Smith, Antowain (RB NE) – Position Rank: 23rd Great pick considering all the crap picked ahead of him.

23. Don Vozzola – Lewis, Jamal (RB BAL) – Position Rank: 14th The knee held up, completing a good round for running backs

24. Eric Vozzola – Gannon, Rich (QB OAK) – Position Rank: 1st Top scoring player in league this year, enough said.

ROUND THREE

25.Eric Vozzola – Staley, Duce (RB PHI) – Position Rank: 11th A couple great games excited us all, but shared way too much time in Philly backfield

26. Don Vozzola – Stewart, James (RB DET) – Position Rank: 19th Good player on bad team, 3rd string-back on Don’s team. Occasionally stepped in and produced.

27. Griff Coomer – Favre, Brett (QB GB) – Position Rank: 12th Has seen better days.

28. Rick Mullin – Harrison, Marvin (WR IND) – Position Rank: 1st How does this guy last this long. The best WR for the fourth year in a row.

29.Brian Gagnon – Culpepper, Daunte (QB MIN) – Position Rank: 7th Fumble, Interception. Interception, Fumble. Big reason Brian finished last.

30. Jimmy Pedrero – McNair, Steve (QB TEN) – Position Rank: 5th Actually had a great year considering all the injuries he suffered with.

31. Robio Murray – Smith, Rod (WR DEN) – Position Rank: 23rd (Trade w/Pittman f/Vick, K. Johnson) Only reason this isn’t the worst pick this round is because of the trade for Vick.

32. David Hightower – Bledsoe, Drew (QB BUF) – Position Rank: 8th Fantasy rule #324, never bench Bledsoe for Plummer. Not even when Drew is on a bye week.

33. Molly Coomer – Holt, Torry (WR STL) – Position Rank: 12th Lot ’s of yards every year, but why can’t this guy find the end zone?

34. Rob Masterson – Horn, Joe (WR NO) – Position Rank: 7th Another great year for the former Chiefs’ backup.

35. Richard Burrier – Brown, Troy (WR NE) – Position Rank: 39th Injuries made a great receiver look quite average.

36. Justin Acerno – Taylor, Fred (RB JAC) – Position Rank: 10th Started off looking like one of the best in the league…what happened?

ROUND FOUR

37. Justin Acerno – Bruce, Isaac (WR STL) – Position Rank: 18th (Cut – Rick) Stats have dropped three straight years.

38. Richard Burrier – Barber, Tiki (RB NYG) – Position Rank: 6th Someone that’s worth a late 2nd round pick but will never be drafted that early

39. Rob Masterson – Brooks, Aaron (QB NO) – Position Rank: 10th What do you get when you draft the ninth QB in the draft? The tenth best QB

40. Molly Coomer – Hearst, Garrison (RB SF) – Position Rank: 20th As long as there’s a Barlow, greatness will be nothing but a dream for Hearst

41. David Hightower – Glenn, Terry (WR GB) – Position Rank: 47th Reason number #211 why you never draft with your heart Patriot fans, even for ex-Patriots.

42. Robio Murray – Johnson, Keyshawn (WR TB) – Position Rank: 17th Hey Johnson, just give me the damn fantasy points. Benched for Chad Johnson.

43. Jimmy Pedrero – Moulds, Eric (WR BUF) – Position Rank: 6th Be sure to send a fruit basket to Drew Bledsoe for those stats.

44. Brian Gagnon – Burress, Plaxico (WR PIT) – Position Rank: 8th (Cut – Robio) Stewart = Nothing, Maddox = Greatness.

45. Rick Mullin – Davis, Stephen (RB WAS) – Position Rank: 29th They finally found a way to stop Davis …it’s called Steve Spurrier.

46. Griff Coomer – Chambers, Chris (WR MIA) – Position Rank: 42nd (Cut) This was supposed to be his breakout year…oh well, maybe next year.

47. Don Vozzola – Brown, Tim (WR OAK) – Position Rank: 33rd Would have ended up on a lot of fantasy benches this season.

48. Eric Vozzola – McCaffrey, Ed (WR DEN) – Position Rank: 34th Too many receivers in mile high this season to have a breakout year.

ROUND FIVE

49. Eric Vozzola – Jackson, Darrell (WR SEA) – Position Rank: 35th Two years Eric drafted him; two years he did nothing for him.

50. Don Vozzola – Coles, Laveranues (WR NYJ) – Position Rank: 10th (Cut – Justin Acerno) He may be band from Dilliard Stores, but Pennington sure seemed to like him.

51. Griff Coomer – Gary, Olandis (RB DEN) – Position Rank: 62nd (Cut) Started one game. Look down one and say “Drafted Wrong Bronco RB”

52. Rick Mullin – Portis, Clinton (RB DEN)  – Position Rank: 4th The correct Broncos RB taken.

53. Brian Gagnon – Henry, Travis (RB BUF) – Position Rank: 9th Not all of Brian’s picks were bad. Henry will most likely be a top-15 pick next year.

54. Jimmy Pedrero – McCardell, Keenan (WR TB) – Position Rank: 49th (Cut – Molly) Not a good enough offense to warrant a pick this early.

55. Robio Murray – Pittman, Michael (RB TB) – Position Rank: 27th (Trade w/R. Smith f/Vick / Cut – Eric) I guess being in Arizona wasn’t his problem.

56. David Hightower – Buccaneers (DT TB) – Position Rank: 1st The best defense by over 1,000 points.

57. Molly Coomer – Price, Peerless (WR BUF) – Position Rank: 9th Not very often the second best receiver on their team is worth a pick. Peerless is worth the price.

58. Rob Masterson – Johnson, Kevin (WR CLE) – Position Rank: 46th (Trade w/Vick f/Smith, Pittman / Cut) It’s not even worth mentioning he was involved in the Vick trade too.

59. Richard Burrier – Thrash, James (WR PHI) – Position Rank: 32nd Sat on the bench on one of the worst receiving corps in fantasy football

60. Justin Acerno – Toomer, Amani (WR NYG) – Position Rank: 5th Always a forgotten man, but really shouldn’t be. You’d think we’d learn.

ROUND SIX

61. Justin Acerno – Rams (DT STL) – Position Rank: 16th They could never get it going. It doesn’t help that the offense turns the ball over every five plays.

62. Richard Burrier – Eagles (DT PHI) – Position Rank: 3rd Second defense taken, third best defense in the league.

63. Rob Masterson – Bennett, M. (RB MIN) – Position Rank: 13th Get rid of Moe and you got a great runner. With Moe, Rob had a great 3rd RB.

64. Molly Coomer – Alexander, D. (WR MIN) – Position Rank: 108th (Cut) Did he play last year?

65. David Hightower – Robinson, M. (WR CHI) – Position Rank: 90th (Cut) Did he play last year?

66. Robio Murray – Gardner, Rod (WR WAS) – Position Rank: 19th (Cut) Flashed of brilliance…in week one.

67. Jimmy Pedrero – Redskins (DT WAS) – Position Rank: 9th (Cut – Robio) Third defense picked, 9th best defense in the league.

68. Brian Gagnon – Jets (DT NYJ) – Position Rank: 25th (Cut) Just like last year, horrible start; good finish. Still failed to finish in the top twenty though.

69. Rick Mullin – Cowboys (DT DAL) – Position Rank: 18th Seen better, but just imagine how good they’d be if they had any kind of offense on that team.

70. Griff Coomer – Terrell, David (WR CHI) – Position Rank: 100th (Cut) We’ll call this the hiccup pick.

71. Don Vozzola – Dolphins (DT MIA) – Position Rank: 13th Always worth a late sixth-round pick.

72. Eric Vozzola – Wheatley, T. (RB OAK) – Position Rank: 48th Won’t be drafted ever again.

ROUND SEVEN

73. Eric Vozzola – Packers (DT GB) – Position Rank: 2nd (Cut – Molly) Great defense…too bad for Eric it was for Molly.

74. Don Vozzola – Bradford, C. (WR HOU) – Position Rank: 44th (Cut – Rich) Average receiver on a bad team. Not a good mix.

75. Griff Coomer – Gonzalez, Tony (TE KC) – Position Rank: 2nd First of eight tight ends drafted this round. Who else do you draft first?

76. Rick Mullin – Muhammad (WR CAR) – Position Rank: 36th Even good receivers need a QB to throw to them.

77. Brian Gagnon – Galloway, J. (WR DAL) – Position Rank: 25th Not bad considering the best QB throwing to him was a Cardinal pitcher.

78. Jimmy Pedrero – Sharpe, S. (TE DEN) – Position Rank: 4th (Cut – Robio) Injury late in the season kept him from being the top tight end.

79. Robio Murray – Shockey, J. (TE NYG) – Position Rank: 3rd Third TE taken is the third best TE this season.

80. David Hightower – Franks, Bubba (TE GB) – Position Rank: 6th No longer just a red zone threat.

81. Molly Coomer – Pollard, Marcus (TE IND) – Position Rank: 7th Fifth TE taken was almost the 5th best TE.

82. Rob Masterson – Conwell, Ernie (TE STL) – Position Rank: 12th Too little of a piece of his team’s offense.

83. Richard Burrier – Riemersma, J. (TE BUF) – Position Rank: 25th Read above.

84. Justin Acerno – Walls, Wesley (TE CAR) – Position Rank: 82nd Gone, Goodbye, Good to know you.

ROUND EIGHT

85. Justin Acerno – Freeman, A. (WR GB) – Position Rank: 52nd (Cut) Looking for a sleeper WR…keep looking.

86. Richard Burrier – Hall, John (K NYJ) – Position Rank: 16th (Cut) First kicker taken. Cut from team, cost Rich a game in week 1 because he didn’t replace him. It also cost him a playoff spot because that victory would have put him over the top. That’s why he gets the red.

87. Rob Masterson – Chrebet, W. (WR NYJ) – Position Rank: 37th (Cut) The great white hope is fading away

88. Molly Coomer – Bengals (DT CIN) – Position Rank: 24th (Cut) Wasted pick.

89. David Hightower – Green, J. (WR WAS) – Position Rank: 124th (Cut) Spurrier cutting a Gator? What’s this world coming too?

93. Rick Mullin – Jones, Thomas (RB ARI) – Position Rank: 44th (Trade f/Broncos D / Cut) May be looking for a telemarketing job next season.

94. Griff Coomer – Chargers (DT SD) – Position Rank: 28th (Cut) Looked good for a bit, but too tough of an offensive division.

95. Don Vozzola – Clark, D. (TE DEN) – Position Rank: 71st (Cut) Shannon Sharpe…enough said.

96 Eric Vozzola – McMichael, R. (TE MIA) – Position Rank: 9th The only player not cut in round eight.

ROUND NINE

97. Eric Vozzola – Gaffney, J. (WR HOU) – Position Rank: 71st (Cut) Eric sure loves those former Gator receivers.

98. Don Vozzola – Lewis, Chad (TE PHI) – Position Rank: 16th (Cut – Jimmy) No longer an option in Philly

99. Griff Coomer – Dorsch, Travis (K CIN) – Position Rank: 36th (Cut) Who?

100. Rick Mullin – Mare, Olindo (K MIA) – Position Rank: 10th (Cut) The Dolphins need ‘Mare’ offense.

101. Brian Gagnon – Smith, Lamar (RB CAR) – Position Rank: 32nd Lamar’s theme song, “I need a New Drug”

102. Jimmy Pedrero – Lindell, Rian (K SEA ) – Position Rank: 13th (Cut) Needed a kicker, so it can’t be a bad kick.

103.Robio Murray – Bryant, A. (WR DAL) – Position Rank: 41st (Cut) Never draft rookie receivers, especially ones on Dallas .

104. David Hightower – Green, William (RB CLE) – Position Rank: 30th (Cut – Robio) Looked like a major bust, but made up for it by stepping up in the second half and helping Robio become a champ by replacing injured Holmes.

105. Molly Coomer – Epstein, Hayden (K JAC) – Position Rank: 36th (Cut) Hell, the Jaguars cut him too.

106. Rob Masterson – 49ers (DT SF) – Position Rank: 19th (Cut) Couldn’t build on last season’s success.

107. Richard Burrier – Stewart, K. (QB PIT) – Position Rank: 31st (Cut) Hines Ward liked him, and that’s about it.

108. Justin Acerno – Pochman, O. (K NYG) – Position Rank: 36th (Cut) Never made it to the regular season.

ROUND TEN

109. Justin Acerno – Jordan, L. (RB NYJ) – Position Rank: 49th (Cut) Not enough touches.

110. Richard Burrier – Dunn, Warrick (RB ATL) – Position Rank: 21st Flashes of his old Seminole self whenever the Duck wasn’t playing.

111. Rob Masterson – Vick, Michael (QB ATL) – Position Rank: 4th (Trade w/K. Johnson f/Pittman, R. Smith) Best pick after the third round…was the wrong QB traded?

112. Molly Coomer – Duckett, T.J. (RB ATL) – Position Rank: 41st (Cut – Jimmy) Good, not good. Good, not good. He could never make up his mind.

113. David Hightower – Nedney, Joe (K TEN) – Position Rank: 9th You got to be happy waiting until the 10th rd to get your starting kicker.

114. Robio Murray – Steelers (DT PIT) – Position Rank: 5th (Cut – Don) Felt like a steal, but I ended up paying for it with two loses. Good Finish though for Don.

116. Brian Gagnon – Hollis, Mike (K BUF) – Position Rank: 11th (Cut – Justin Acerno) Read David above.

125. Brian Gagnon – Falcons (DT ATL) – Position Rank: 8th (Cut – Justin Acerno) Every year there’s a surprise defense. The Falcons were it this year.

160. Molly Coomer – Ricks, Mikhael (TE DET) – Position Rank: 17th (Cut) Showed moments of happiness, but then we all remember he plays for Lions
