Quote:I know taking the easy route is a mantra you practice in life.  You said you've gone back 30 or 35 years.  Let's see ALL of the research, princess. 

 

Here's the list from 1980 onward of WR drafted in the top 5:

 

1980 - Lam Jones, bust

1984  - Kenny Jackson, bust

 

1984  - Irving Fryar, good player but worth 1st overall or even top 5? Debatable for top 5, flat out no for 1st overall. 

 

1992 - Desmond Howard, bust

1995 - Michael Westbrook, bust

 

1996 - Keyshawn Johnson, dunno if "bust" but big time disappointment for top 5, let alone 1st overall where he went

 

2000 - Peter Warrick, bust

2003 - Charles Rogers, bust

2003 - Andre Johnson, STUD

2004 - Larry Fitz, STUD

2005 - Braylon Edwards, overall? bust. 1 year wonder. 

2007 - Megatron, STUD

2011 - AJ Green, STUD

 

2012 - Blackmon, INC. 

 

note, Tim Brown was actually picked 6th overall, I initially thought top 5.
