The 1999 draft had so much drama. The consensus was it was going to be Tim Couch and Akili Smith going 1 and 2. The Browns we’re playing both against each other to get leverage in contract negotiations.
The last minute it went Tim Couch to Browns.
It was the last draft to draft top 3 QBs but it went 1 - Tim Couch, 2- Donovan McNabb 3- Akili Smith
Nobody expected Akili to make it past two. Eagles went with the more athletic and QB and less proven passer.
See so many parallels to this draft but I know the odds are against Jets taking Fields at 2 but still hoping it happens.
