Muhsin is 21st all-time in receptions (807) and 22nd in yards (10,857). He’s made a pair of Pro Bowls. Keyshawn Johnson may have a slightly better career, but his days in Tampa didn’t end well.
No. 13 Chicago Bears—La’Roi Glover
The Bears would gladly trade Walt Harris for six-time Pro Bowl DT La’Roi Glover. He has 83.5 career sacks, including 17 in 2000 for the Saints. Not too shabby for the 166th pick.
No. 14 Houston Oilers—Stephen Davis
With Eddie George off the board the Oilers (later Titans) grab the next best RB in the draft. Stephen Davis was a three-time Pro Bowler with 8,052 career yards and 65 TDs. He had four 1,300+ yard seasons.
No. 15 Denver Broncos—Donnie Edwards
While John Mobley wasn’t a bad pick for the Broncos, Donnie Edwards had a more successful career. He has 1,487 career tackles and had 10 straight years of 100+ tackles. He had 605 tackles during a four-year stretch from 2003-2006.
No. 16 Minnesota Vikings—Mike Alstott
About the only thing that 1998 Vikings team didn’t have was a tough runner for short yardage situations and running out the clock. Had they had a bruising FB like the six-time Pro Bowler Alstott, perhaps they beat Atlanta in the NFC title game.
I know he wouldn’t run out of bounds like Robert Smith did down the stretch.
No. 19 Indianapolis Colts - Eric Moulds
You know what I just did? I just added about 3,000 yards and 30 TDs by pairing him up with Peyton Manning. Moulds had a pretty nice run going to three Pro Bowls. He had 9,995 receiving yards and 49 TDs.
No. 20 Miami Dolphins—Terry Glenn
Dan Marino had a few years left in him and Terry Glenn would be a nice addition to their passing attack that was pretty much limited to O.J. McDuffie. Glenn would give Marino a nice vertical threat. Glenn has 8,823 career receiving yards.
No. 21 Seattle Seahawks—Marco Rivera
Not that Pete Kendall was a bad pick, but Marco Rivera was the top guard in this class. He was named to three Pro Bowls.
No. 22 Tampa Bay Buccaneers—Tony Brackens
The Bucs went DE and DT with their two first round picks. Since I went WR with their first pick, I figured I better address that need with my second. I chose Tony Brackens, who made one Pro Bowl and has 55 career sacks.
No. 23 Detroit Lions—Jeff Hartings
Detroit will keep their original selection. Hartings helped Batty Sanders put up big numbers. Plus, he was named to two Pro Bowls later in his career with Pittsburgh.
No. 24 Buffalo Bills—Amani Toomer
Having Eric Moulds taken from them, Buffalo would turn to Amani Toomer. Toomer has similar numbers to Moulds, recording 9,497 yards and 54 TDs. He had five straight 1,000+ yard seasons for the Giants.
No. 25 Philadelphia Eagles—Jon Runyan
Here’s another situation where a team would select a guy they would later bring in as a free agent. They grabbed the Pro Bowl RT. He was actaully drafted in the fourth round (109th overall).
