99: 6 (2)
00: 8 (3) - Two First Rounders (Arrington, Samuels)
01: 5 (2)
02: 10(4) - See above

05: 6(2) - Two Firsts (Rogers Campbell)
06: 6(1) - No First (McIntosh in the 2nd)

I hope we can get some good hits early. I don't know though - we haven't been overwhelmingly successful in the 2-3 rounds.

ouch, that 02 draft was rough. I remember hoping bauman & Lott would be good & of course that ramsey would be our starter for years. At least Ladell, Rock & Royal have been decent.

Wonder if that draft was more of the ole ball coach or vinny?
