We are now more than 2 1/2 years into the NFL careers of the players who were drafted in 2007.
If you scroll down the list of first round draftees, several names will jump out at you of players who have already carved out solid beginnings to their careers.
In a few cases, some of the first round draftees from 2007 have proven to be franchise cornerstones worthy of high picks: Calvin Johnson, Joe Thomas, Adrian Peterson, Patrick Willis, Darrelle Revis, Ted Ginn Jr, to name a few.
In other cases, however, the players drafted in 2007 have proven to be worth far less than what their draft position might suggest. This is no more evident than with respect to the two QBs drafted in the first round in 2007: JaMarcus Russell and Brady Quinn.
My goodness, what wasted first round picks those two are proving to be.
And amazingly, Russell and Quinn are not alone. Several other QBs were taken in 2007, none of whom have amounted to much of anything. Let’s review the carnage.
