    The Dallas Mavericks for getting Nowitzki for "Tractor" Traylor SMH.....

    Brandon Jacobs: That ? was a 4 or 5th round pick in '05 and has had multiple 1,000 yard seasons

    Manu Ginobili: ? fell all the way to the end of the second round if the draft

    With a few exceptions, almost anyone that drafted after the L.A. Clippers or Detroit Lions......

    NFL:
    Joe Montana Rd 3 1979
    Mark Gastineau Rd 2 1979
    New Orleans Saints picking George Rogers 1st overall in 1981; guess who went 2nd? Lawrence Taylor. Saints took an L for that.
    Mike Singletary Rd 2 (1981)
    Howie Long Rd 2 (1981)
    Russ Grimm (one of the Hogs) 3rd rd (1981)
    Dexter Manley 5th Round (1981)
    Mark Duper Rd 2 1982
    Roger Craig rd 2 1983
    Richard Dent rd 8 1983
    Mark Clayton rd 8 1983
    Boomer Esaison rd 2 1984
    Randall Cunningham rd 2 1985
    Andre Reed rd 4 1985
    Mark Bavaro rd 4 1985
    Herschel Walker rd 5 1985 (noted because of the trade when Dallas sends him to Minnesota a few years later; there hasn't been a deal that one sided since the Indians traded away Manhattan for some beads)
    Jay Novachek rd 6 1985
    Charles Haley rd 4 1986
    Cris Carter rd 4 1987
    Thurman Thomas rd 2 1988
    Shannon Sharpe rd 7 1990

    NBA:
    Dennis Rodman rd 2
    Drazen Petrovic rd 3 (dude might've been from Europe but he could BALL; could shoot better than Nowitiski but he could play "D" and talk ? like a brotha)
    Anthony Mason rd 3
    Avery Johnson (undrafted)

    Bo Jackson was originally the number 1 pick in 1986; he told the Buccaneers to kick rocks because he wasn't going to play for them because they wouldn't let him play baseball as well so he was back in the draft again in 1987. Most people don't know but the Yankees drafted Bo in the second round in 1982 but he went to Auburn instead.

    I though a draft steal was ? picked out the 1st round, I don't think lottery picks and ? picked in the 1st round are steals

    funny enough the Bulls initially regretted picking Jordan too.....it was jus that he was the best player left on the board at the time ***laughs at the statement knowing how good MJ became***
