Let me start by saying that King clearly said at the outset that he has no clue who is going to be good or not immediately after the draft weekend. I still find some of the claims made really funny, now looking at it in hindsight. And I also find that he nailed some of the predictions (Eg Shaun Alexander > Jamal Lewis)
Some hilarious predictions immediately following the 2000 draft:
Janikowski is the best kicking weapon to come out of college football, maybe ever.
Pick 89 overall, Corey Moore, will be one of those classic Bills picks (they always get a very good player after the first round, every year), the kind of player GMs will regret passing on
Love the pick of Tee Martin late in the fifth.
J.R. Redmond will be the every-down back by Oct. 1. Not bad for the 76th overall pick.
10. Cleveland. Courtney Brown is a draft.
16. Baltimore. I really like Chris Redman at 75 for the Ravens, but the 49ers were skeptical of the beating he's taken in college and the one he'll take as a pro.
20. Kansas City. I like Sylvester Morris.
22. Detroit. Stockar McDougle and Aaron Gibson will be pulling this year for James Stewart one play, some linebacker will get leveled by the 748 pounds of padded beef, and he'll file a lawsuit claiming cruel and unusual punishment.
Some really good predictions immediately following the 2000 draft:
To get Alexander at 19 -- he'll be a better pro than Ron Dayne -- and a monster blocker for him in McIntosh is a good draft if the Seahawks get no one else.
Good value in LB Keith Bulluck at 30. The Titans are the NFL's Linebacker U.
The 49ers did the right thing by passing on Pennington.
I like Laveranues Coles, who has Deion speed and, at 77 overall, is an almost riskless pick.
19. Denver. Deltha O'Neal is a better returner than corner; Denver needs him to be great at both jobs. Bill Romanowski, those are Ian Gold's footsteps you're feeling.
15. Giants. I do think Dayne's a plodder, which would be okay here if he had a line to open a hole for him.
21. Carolina. Top pick Rashard Anderson, a corner/safety, has hands of stone. Not a good quality for an interceptor.
I found this very funny too (obviously he had no clue Det would do the exact thing regarding WRs in the future)
2. I think the dumbest thing I heard pre-draft was this: The Detroit Lions would pick a running back in the first round to take some of the pressure off newly signed back James Stewart. What? You pay a guy $25 million and then you want to pick a back in the first round? THAT IS CERTIFIABLY, ABSOLUTELY LOONY. AND IF THE LIONS THOUGHT FOR THREE SECONDS ABOUT THIS, THEN THEY ARE SIMILARLY LOONY.
