Today in Patriots History
Day One of the 1994 Draft​

April 24, 1994:
The 59th Annual Player Selection Meeting, better known as the 1994 NFL Draft
Marriot Marquis, New York City
Day One, Rounds 1-3

This draft may be most noteworthy for an exchange between a general manager and talking head.

The Colts were picking second and fifth overall, and ESPN's Mel Kiper was adamant that they draft a quarterback. Instead Indy chose running back Marshall Faulk (who proceeded to become rookie of the year) at number two, and linebacker Trev Alberts (a monumental draft bust) at number five. Kiper proclaimed that the Colts were idiots, and Indy GM Bill Tobin responded with the classic line, "who the hell is Mel Kiper", leaving the motormouth speechless for once in his life.

In the end it really did not matter at all, as the Colts would have been drafting Peyton Manning first overall four years later regardless. At the time the top-rated quarterback was Trent Dilfer, who threw 17 touchdowns versus 43 interceptions in his first three seasons with the Bucs. Tobin's decision to go with veteran free agent QB Jim Harbaugh over a rookie turned out to be the correct decision; in '95 Harbaugh led the NFL in passer rating, yards per attempt, lowest interception rate and most fourth-quarter comebacks.

Mel Kiper And The Crazy Feud That Changed the TV Draft Forever | NFL 1994 Draft Story
8:11 video by NFL Films


Short Version:
​

One thing that I did not realize at the time was that Indy had another reason to not draft Dilfer: on his agent's advice, he had already told them that he would sit out for a year and wait for the next draft, rather than sign with the Colts. Dilfer assumed that he would be drafted by Washington at #3, and was so confident in that happening that his wife was already house-shopping in the DC area. The Redskins instead drafted Heath Shuler, another huge draft bust, to be their quarterback. When that happened Dilfer's wife started crying, and family members attempted to shield her reaction from prying television cameras. So instead the television producer had the cameras switch to Kiper's kneejerk reaction - and because that was televised, that led to Tobin's spot-on response.

Here's an interesting P.S. to the Bill Tobin, Mel Kiper feud

The 27th anniversary landed on Saturday of the memorable moment between former Colts G.M.

www.nbcsports.com

Ohio State defensive tackle Dan Wilkinson was the first overall pick of this draft by the Bengals; while he was never a Pro Bowler, he had a solid 13-year career. After Faulk and Shuler, the Patriots had the next pick.

​

1st round, 4th overall -- OLB/DE Willie McGinest, University of Southern California

Fortunately for the Pats, Willie moved on from some injuries in 1997 and 1998 to become an outstanding clutch performer, after Bill Belichick became the head coach. Out of the ten players selected by the Patriots in the 1994 draft, he and Max Lane (drafted the next day in the sixth round) were the only noteworthy additions.

Day One of the 1988 Draft​

The 53rd Annual Player Selection Meeting, better known as the 1988 NFL Draft
Marriot Marquis, New York City
Day One, Rounds 1-3

​

Montgomery to NFL: The No. 1 overall — Aundray Bruce

In the first of a series of stories about Montgomery athletes picked in the NFL draft, Aundray Bruce was taken first overall by Atlanta in 1988.

www.montgomeryadvertiser.com

Aundray Bruce played 11 seasons but never became the next Lawrence Taylor, a first-ballot Hall of Famer, as projected. Playing for Atlanta and Los Angeles/Oakland, Bruce managed just 32 career sacks, but he had a longer NFL run than fellow No. 1 picks JaMarcus Russell (three seasons), Tim Couch (six), Courtney Brown (seven), Steve Emtman (eight) and Ki-Jana Carter (eight).​

On the opposite end of the spectrum from JaMarcus Russell and Tim Couch, seven players from this draft class have been voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame:

2007 -- WR Michael Irvin -- 1st round, 11th overall, Dallas Cowboys
2007 -- RB Thurman Thomas -- 2nd round, 40th overall, Buffalo Bills
2009 -- G Randall McDaniel -- 1st round, 19th overall, Minnesota Vikings
2012 -- C Dermonti Dawson -- 2nd round, 44th overall, Pittsburgh Steelers
2015 -- WR Tim Brown -- 1st round, 6th overall, Los Angeles Raiders
2025 -- CB Eric Allen -- 2nd round, 30th overall, Philadelphia Eagles
2025 -- WR Sterling Sharpe -- 1st round, 7th overall, Green Bay Packers

One other notable fact about this draft is that it was the latest ever that the first quarterback was drafted. Ohio State's Tom Tupa was the first quarterback to be selected - but not until the 68th overall pick, in the third round, by the Phoenix Cardinals.



Back to the Patriots. Apparently the the Louisiana/Mississippi regional scout had quite an influence on Pat Sullivan and Raymond Berry; four Day One picks were from that region.


1st round, 17th overall -- RB John Stephens, NW Louisiana State
Rookie of the Year in 1988 with 1,266 yards from scrimmage
After a strong start to his career, Stephens seemed to lose his burst after a scary incident. In 1989 Stephens hurt his back in a violent collison that left 49ers safety Jeff Fuller with a career-ending neck injury. By 1991 Leonard Russell had replaced Stephens in the starting lineup. In his five seasons with the Pats, Stephens tallied 4,030 yards from scrimmage and 18 TD. Awful legal troubles (and shockingly lenient punishment for horrific crimes) led to court cases, prior to his death in a car accident in 2009.

2nd round, 43rd overall -- ILB Vincent Brown, Mississippi Valley State
"The Undertaker" was a second team All Pro in 1991, and member of the Pats All-1990s Team
After playing with the Patriots for eight seasons, Brown spent 24 years as a college coach.

3rd round, 69th overall -- OT Tom Rehder, Notre Dame
32 games, zero starts in two seasons for New England

July 27, 1987: Patriots trade OT Darryl Haley to Tampa Bay for their 1988 fourth round pick
4th round, 87th overall -- NT Tim Goad, North Carolina
NFL All-Rookie Team in 1988; Pats All-1990s Team; 7-year starter with New England, missing just three games

May 6, 1987: Pats trade Rich Gannon to Minnesota for a 1988 4th and a 1988 11th. The Patriots had drafted Gannon in the fourth round, 97th overall, just a week earlier. New England wanted to convert Gannon from a QB to a CB, but Gannon said no way - forcing the trade. Gannon would proceed to throw for 28,743 yards while racking up four Pro Bowls, and was named the 2002 NFL MVP.

4th round, 97th overall -- WR Sammy Martin, Louisiana State
Mostly used as a KR/PR; 21 receptions for 345 yards and one TD in three-plus seasons for the Patriots
Not quite as stellar of an NFL career as Rich Gannon.

4th round, 100th overall -- K Teddy Garcia, NE Louisiana State
Lasted just one season, making an abysmal six of his 13 field goal attempts
GM Pat Sullivan didn't do HC Raymond Berry any favors with this pick.



Sept 2, 1987: Patriots trade Pro Bowl LT Brian Holloway to the Raiders for a 1988 fifth round pick
5th round, 115th overall -- G Troy Wolkow, Minnesota
Wolkow was placed on IR and released with an injury settlement in August. He never played in the NFL.

5th round, 127th overall -- traded to Washington for a 1999 4th round pick
The Patriots would use that pick a year later to select CB Maurice Hurst
Seven seasons, 105 games (102 starts), 27 interceptions; Pats All-1990s Team
Another player from Louisiana (Southern University, Baton Rouge)



6th round, 154th overall -- TE Steve Johnson, Virginia Tech
Appeared in 14 games as a blocking tight end and special teamer.



7th round, 181st overall -- WR Darryl Usher, Illinois
Spent the season on IR and never played for the Pats; later played briefly for the Cardinals and Chargers.



Despite Stephens' production quickly tailing off and Garcia being awful, this was a decent draft - moreso when you factor in one of the draft picks turning into Hurst a year later. Williams was a very good player, and Goad was a solid starter. There wer too many early whiffs within the top 100 picks to grade the 1998 Pats draft any higher though.

Day Two of the 1989 Draft​

April 24, 1989:
The 54th Annual Player Selection Meeting, better known as the 1989 NFL Draft
Marriott Marquis, New York City
Day Two, Rounds 6-12

The Patriots had far too many early misses the previous day. Dykes and Coleman at one-two were awful. The production from Cook, Hurst and Timpson was good, buy you can't completely whiff on both your first and second round picks.

Day One:
1.16 -- WR Hart Lee Dykes
2.43 -- CB Eric Coleman
3.63 -- TE Marv Cook
3.73 -- DE Chris Gannon
4.96 -- CB Maurice Hurst
4.100 - WR Michael Timpson

Unfortunately the Pats did not make up for those Day One misses on Day Two.




6th round, 165th overall -- RB Eric Mitchell, Oklahoma
[pick came from trade down the previous day with Oakland]

7th round, 178th overall -- LB Eric Lindstrom, Boston College
[pick was part of 1979 Brian Holloway trade with Oakland]

7th round, 183rd overall -- previously traded
[this pick was traded the previous year to San Diego for LB Thomas Benson]
Benson played in 12 games with zero starts in one season with Patriots
Chargers use 7.183 to select RB Marion Butts - who went to two Pro Bowls and rushed for 31 TD in five seasons in San Diego.

8th round, 220th overall -- CB Rodney Rice, BYU

8th round, 223rd overall -- S Tony Zackery, Washington
[pick came from trade down previous day with Oakland]

9th round, 240th overall -- RB Darron Norris, Texas

9th round, 247th overall - C Curtis Wilson, Missouri
[pick came from 1988 trade down with Minnesota]

10th round, 267th overall -- DT Emanuel McNeil, Tennessee-Martin

11th round, 294th overall -- RB Tony Hinz, Harvard

12th round, 324th overall -- LB Aaron Chubb, Georgia


Rice played in ten games for the Pats in 2003, Zackery in 18 from 1990-91, and McNeil in 3 games from 1989-90; the six others never played a single down in the NFL.

Day One of the 2004 Draft​

April 24, 2004:
The 69th Annual Player Selection Meeting, better known as the 2004 NFL Draft
The Theater at Madison Square Garden, New York City
Day One, Rounds 1-3

The 2004 Draft is most well known for being the one where San Diego chose Eli Manning first overall, even though Eli had stated that he would not play for them. The Giants selected Philip Rivers fourth, and soon after the two teams traded those rookie quarterbacks.

A lot of what ifs right there.

Draft bust Robert Gallery went #2 to the Raiders, then the next six picks were all Pro Bowlers: Hall of Fame WR Larry Fitzgerald, Rivers, S Sean Taylor, weirdo TE Kellen Winslow II, WR Roy Williams and CB DeAngelo Hall. Ben Roethlisberger went #11 to Pittsburgh.


One year earlier Bill Belichick fleeced desperate Raven coach Brian Billick, trading the Pats 2003 first round pick (#19 overall) to Baltimore for their second rounder (#41) and their 2004 first (#21 in this draft). Billick used that 2003 pick on QB Kyle Boller, who finished his brief NFL career with a record of 20-27 as a starter, with 48 touchdowns against 54 interceptions. Billick was enamored with Boller, and somehow managed to last as head coach until 2007 before he was fired.



1st round, 21st overall -- DT Vince Wilfork, Miami
11 seasons, 158 games; 5 Pro Bowls; 2 Super Bowl rings; 14-7 in 21 playoff games
* Pats All-2000s Team
* Pats All-2010s Team
* Pats 50th Anniversary Team
* Pats All-Dynasty Team
* Pats Hall of Fame, 2010
* Just the 6th player to be inducted into Pats HoF in first year of eligibility




1st round, 32nd overall -- TE Ben Watson, Georgia
7 seasons, 81 games; 184 receptions for 2,275 yards and 20 touchdowns; 22 catches and three touchdowns in ten playoff games




April 25, 2003:
Traded a 3rd round pick (#78) to Miami for a 2004 2nd round pick (#56)

April 19, 2004:
Traded that 2nd round pick (#56) to Cincinnati for RB Corey Dillon




2nd round, 31st overall -- DE Marquise Hill, Louisiana State University
3 seasons, 13 games, one super bowl ring




3rd round, 32nd overall -- S Guss Scott, Florida
2 seasons, six games, two starts




Anybody complaining about this being a bad draft because of the lack of production from Hill and Scott needs to be sentened to a decade of being a Jets fan.

The Patriots walked away from Day One with Vince Wilfork, Ben Watson and Corey Dillon.

Incredibly great use of their draft capital.

Day Two of the 2005 Draft​

April 24, 2005:
The 70th Annual Player Selection Meeting, better known as the 2005 NFL Draft
Jacob Javits Convention Center, New York City
Day Two, Rounds 4-7

Regardless of what happened on Day Two, the Patriots already had a great 2005 draft. Despite a third round pick not being available due to a crappy trade for the less-than-stellar Duane Starks, the Pats had already drafted Logan Mankins, Ellis Hobbs and Nick Kaczur.


4th round, 133rd overall -- S James Sanders, Fresno State
Steady performer, appearing in 84 games with 50 starts from 2005-2010
AFC Defensive Player of the Week in 2010 after picking off a Ben Roethlisberger pass for a Pick-Six. A week later Sanders made a game-saving interception off Peyton Manning at the six-yard line when the Colts elected to go for a win in the final minute, rather than kicking a field goal to tie the game.


5th round, 145th ovreall -- traded
Pats trade out, sending 5.145 and 6.206 to Detroit for a 2006 4th


5th round, 170th overall -- LB Ryan Claridge, UNLV
(compensatory pick for the free agency loss of Ted Washington)
Spent 2005 on the practice squad; cut during training camp in 2006; never played in the NFL
At least the Pats got a good year out of Ted Washington.


6th round, 195th overall -- traded
Pats trade up, sending 6.195 and 7.246 to Green Bay for 6.175


6th round, 175th overall -- traded
Pats trade down, sending 6.175 to Oakland for 7.230 and 2006 5th
I'm curious who Bill Belichick was targeting by trading up, but presumably was drafted before he had a chance to nab him.
Why else would he trade up, to immediately trade down?


7th round, 230rd overall -- QB Matt Cassell, University of Southern California
What were the Patriots doing, drafting a quarterback who hadn't started since high school?


7th round, 255th overall -- TE Andy Stokes, William Penn
(compensatory pick for the free agency loss of Bobby Hamilton)
Waived very early in training camp; never played in the NFL



Great draft, period.

Day Two of the 2020 Draft:
Kyle Dugger​

April 24, 2020:
The 85th Annual Player Selection Meeting, better known as the 2020 NFL Draft
Caesars Forum Convention Center, Las Vegas Remote Video Conference Call
Day Two, Rounds Two and Three

This was supposed to be held in Las Vegas, to coincide with the Raiders move there from Oakland. The pandemic ruined those plans (along with so many other things). First overall pick was LSU Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Joe Burrow, by Cincinnati.

The Patriots owned the 23rd overall pick, but traded that on day one to San Diego. The Pats moved down 14 spots, receiving a second round pick (47th overall) and a third (71st overall) in exchange. That third round pick was then traded up eleven notches, to select Josh Uche.


2nd round, 37th overall -- S Kyle Dugger, Lenoir-Rhyne

2nd round, 55th overall -- traded
Previously traded in 2019 to Atlanta, for WR Mohamed Sanu



2nd round, 71st overall -- traded
Pats trade up, sending 2.71 and 3.98 to Baltimore for 2.60 and 4.129



2nd round, 60th overall -- OLB Josh Uche, Michigan

3rd round, 87th overall -- OLB Anfernee Jennings, Alabama

3rd round, 100th overall -- traded
Pats trade up, sending 3.100, 4.139 and 5.172 to Houston for 3.91 and 5.159



3rd round, 91st overall -- TE Devin Asiasi, UCLA

4th round, 125th overall -- traded
4th round, 129th overall -- traded
Pats trade up, sending 4.125, 4.129 and a 2021 6th to the Jets for 3.101



3rd round, 101st overall -- TE Dalton Keene, Virginia Tech

This draft is mostly remembered for two major negatives.

First, the consequences of the 2019 trade made out of deperation to shore up the wide receiver position with Sanu, resulting in the loss of a second round pick.

Secondly the double-fault with the two tight ends - exacerbated by the fact that the Patriots traded up for both Asiasi and Keene.

Not a good usage of draft capital at all.

I mean it's hard not to like this haul. Queen is instinctive, smart, raw but already makes big plays. Reminds me of a cross between Thomas Davis & Roquan Smith. So fresh to the position he looks like a natural.
