bedlamVR Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Look back on that 2000 draft and out of the top 5 only 1 is with the origional team that drafted them and only 1 can honestly be said not to have been on some level a disapointment (Chris Samuels) (Lewis for a short time was phemominal but jail and injury did for him) The top 5 in 2000 Courtny Brown (released by the broncos) LaVar Arrington(released by the Giants) Chris Samuels (Redskins) Peter Warrick (recently signed with the AFL LV Gadiators) Jamal Lewis (recently signed with browns) In fact in that entire first round there are only a hand full of players I would really look at as stars Shaun Ellis, John Abraham, Kieth Bullock, Shawn Alexander and Julian Peterson. There are some very good players that bloomed late like Thomas Jones and Deltha O'Neil and Chad Pennington. 7 years is a long time in football but when you get to draft day you invest a lot of $$$ in the top picks and you expect them to be around a while . Just makes you think. But as for brown.... errrrr nope PASS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cdowwe Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Courtney and Lavar, #1 and #2 picks, both can't miss greats!This should be a reminder trading down from #6 to gain a couple extra picks may not be a bad thing!:2cents: So true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinSabbath Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Injuries aside, I have ALWAYS wanted this guy... even back to the draft when Cleveland took him ahead of us... Lets Do It! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cphil006 Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 He was more heralded than Jamaal Anderson. I say we sign him, that is our DE. We trade down if we can;t get CJ and get a safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planter Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 First, tell me how much of D Line's subpar performance last year was due to injuries and how much due to lack of skills/motivation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnFoRcEr_uPu Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Why are these threads showing up in The Stadium? Just because someone wonders if it would be a good idea to sign(yet another)FA, it is Redskins news? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasRoane Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 If I am putting together a Hospital league team, Brown and Arrington are the first 2 guys I sign! :notworthy Post of the week!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flock53 Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I'm a taker. This guy is a nice fit across from Carter at LE in terms of run-stuffing ability and pure strength. He's always injured, to be true, and he's probably not a long-term answer, but he would be a VERY NICE stopgap that would allow the team to feel comfortable taking Branch or Okoye. I agree.

redskinss Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 One of the most star-crossed careers in recent NFL history likely ended Monday the oft-injured seven-year veteran could not pass a physical examination. over the past six seasons, the number of games Brown missed because of injury (51) outnumbered those in which he played (45). It is unlikely that Brown, although only 29, will ever play in the NFL again Brown was beset by ankle and knee injuries in 2001, a knee injury in 2002, a torn biceps in 2003, a left foot injury in 2004, a left elbow injury in 2005 and a knee injury in 2006. He underwent major surgeries on his right knee in 2001, his left knee in 2002, 2004 and 2006 and his left elbow in 2005. these are some clippings from the espn article on his release. i dont think he is worth even a look.

REDSKINZ-RIDEORDIE Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Wow look at the top 10 of the 2000 draft and tell me agian about "can't miss" players.1 Cleveland Courtney Brown DE Penn State 2 Washington LaVar Arrington OLB Penn State 3 Washington Chris Samuels T Alabama 4 Cincinnati Peter Warrick WR Florida State 5 Baltimore Jamal Lewis RB Tennessee 6 Philadelphia Corey Simon DT Florida State 7 Arizona Thomas Jones RB Virginia 8 Pittsburgh Plaxico Burress WR Michigan State 9 Chicago Brian Urlacher MLB New Mexico 10 Baltimore Travis Taylor WR Florida WOW, I remember I wanted us to draft Peter Warrick so bad. Even after his bad reviews at the combine. I just remembered how good he was with Florida St. That goes to show, dont get caught in all these highlight reels. When you step in the LEAGUE, itz a whole different ball game. Some players can adjust, a lot cant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDSKINZ-RIDEORDIE Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 but wasn't he the best in a generation? how could this have happened? I remember when they were calling him the "Quiet Storm". Yeah right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as for brown.... errrrr nope PASS i'll never forget this argument i got in. was in the cincinnati airport when the skins picked Samuels. some schmuck watching the draft said the skins were morons for passing on Warrick, who he said would be a beast in the NFL. i told him that other than the QB, the left tackle (assuming a righty QB) was the most important position on offense, and that i was ecstatic the skins made the smart pick. he scoffed at me.

gobigred Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I know one of Courtney Browns family members and they were telling me that based on his injury He may have to retire early. I really feel bad for him and his family. I guess this is part of what happens in football and also when you're on a bad team as in Cleveland. I hopes he gets better news from his Dr's down the road.

[[ghost]] Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 If we do get this guy who do we draft at #6 if we go D (excluding CJ for the moment) Yea, I still say we get Anderson. He's a working project. Build him behind Brown, but not with Brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tr4 Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 jump off the getting courtney brown bandwagon. at this point they are not even sure that Courtney is going to be able to play a down in the league again. his knee is messed up badly and like someone mentioned earlier there is no way he can pass a physical right now. Im not even sure he could pass a physical anytime in the near future. Dont count on this guy being signed anywhere and chances are he will have to retire.

CallMeGreen Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Riggghhhht. No, if I'm GM for the day (hey wait, that position's not filled yet), I leave Mr. Brown by the curb. Sorry he's out of gas without making a bigger statement in his career, but let's look at the facts: <b>Penn State 1st rounder</b>: chance of bust, 75%? [98% for PS RB's, 110% for PS QB's] <b>Cleveland Brown 1st rounder</b>: chance of failure, 80%? <b>Following Cleveland-to-Denver career route</b>: chance of being a dud 50%? <b>Cleve-Denver-Washington route</b>: Do we even want to tempt fate here? Portis has been OK, but if Denver casts someone off we likely don't want him. Plus, even without giving Denver another pick, they'd be fleecing us again just on principle. If he had been on the cover of Sports Illustrated, we permanently end debate on this now. Come to think of it, on this '99 draft issue, maybe that's CB in the mask behind the Couch and Smith? :yikes: [CB was in 2000, not 1999, my mistake] http://subs.timeinc.net/SI/coverstore/CoverMain.jhtml?IDs=SPR19990419%2CSPR19990419frame++++&category=Cover&subcategory=football+pro&page_number=19&returnpage=CoverMain.jhtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tr4 Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 there shouldnt even be talk about this guy at this point. he is done in this league. he is going to have to sit out at least a season and let the knee rehab. wasting time even discussing this guy.
