2005 Draft: A Look Back

RD1#4 Cedric Benson RB Texas 5'10" 220#, 4.55 - Bust. Expected to lose his job to this year's 2nd round pick Matt Forte.
RD2#39 MarkBradley WR/RS Oklahoma 6'1" 201#, 4.43 - Projected #1 WR this season but has not stayed healthy as was the knock on him during college. Boom or bust heading into his 4th year.
RD4#106 Kyle Orton QB Purdue 6'3" 226#, 5.1 - Battling for the starting job at QB and has shown some flashes.
RD5#140 Airese Currie WR Clemson 5'10" 178#, 4.49 - Bust
RD6#181, Chris Harris SS/FS LA Monroe 6'1" 214#, 4.68 - Showed big game ability only to be traded for a sack of magic beans to Carolina.
RD7#220 Rodriques Wilson OLB/S South Carolina 6'2" 230# 4.6 - Still on the roster but can't sniff the field.

Draft Grade: D+ ... Two starters in the draft with Harris starting for another team.
