2000 NFL Draft - Who Were The Six Quarterbacks Selected Before Tom Brady?

Tom Brady - NFL QB Passing Leaders, Fantasy Football All Time Greats

With 10 Super Bowl appearances, seven Lombardi Trophies, and five Super Bowl MVPs, Tom Brady is undoubtedly the greatest quarterback to ever step on an NFL field. What has always made his story even more remarkable is that he was all but forgotten in the 2000 NFL Draft. Brady had to watch 198 players be selected before finally hearing his name called.


It’s still hard to believe he slipped to the sixth round of the NFL Draft. How did that happen? And more importantly, who were the other quarterbacks taken ahead of Brady? If you’ve ever wondered, today’s your lucky day as we will examine the six quarterbacks selected before him.

Make sure you keep up to date with all your NFL Draft and fantasy football needs by following RotoBaller on X and checking out RotoBaller.com. Now it’s time to fire up the DeLorean, revisit the 2000 NFL Draft, and look at all the quarterbacks taken before the man with seven Super Bowl rings.

 

Chad Pennington, NYJ - Round 1, 18th Overall

Probably the most recognizable name on this list, Pennington enjoyed a solid career with the Jets and Dolphins. He finished with a career 44-37 record as a starter. However, he was only 2-4 in the playoffs. Pennington was known for his pinpoint accuracy as a passer, but he failed to lead his teams past the divisional round. He did not meet expectations after being selected in the first round.

 

Giovanni Carmazzi, SF - Round 3, 65th Overall

This pick was an unmitigated disaster. Carmazzi never even played in a regular season game. He spent two years with the 49ers as a backup and was eventually cut. This was a complete waste of a third-round pick. Selections like this explain why the 49ers went 78-114 from 1999-2010.

 

Chris Redman, BAL - Round 3, 75th Overall

Redman remained on the bench and did not start a game for the Ravens until 2002. He bounced around with the Patriots, Titans, and Arena Football League before signing with the Atlanta Falcons in 2007. Redman spent most of his days in Atlanta backing up starter Matt Ryan before eventually being released after the 2011 season.

 

Tee Martin, PIT - Round 5, 163rd Overall

Pittsburgh rolled the dice on Martin but things did not work out. The fifth-rounder never attempted a pass in an NFL game for Pittsburgh. He would see limited action with the Oakland Raiders in 2003 but was soon out of the league. Martin would then begin a career in coaching and is currently the Baltimore Ravens Quarterbacks coach.

 

Marc Bulger, NO - Round 6, 168th Overall

Bulger had his best years playing with the St. Louis Rams and head coach Mike Martz. With starter Kurt Warner struggling with fumbles and poor play, Martz turned the offense over to Bulger and didn’t look back. He did make two Pro Bowl appearances but never experienced the same success Warner did. Still, this was not a bad career for a sixth-round pick, but it doesn’t even sniff Brady’s.

 

Spergon Wynn, CLE - Round 6, 183rd Overall

Wynn only played in 10 career games and threw one touchdown pass against seven interceptions. Cleveland moved on after one year and Wynn latched on with the Minnesota Vikings. He was eventually cut after the 2001 season and never played in the NFL again.  The fact that Brady was selected 16 picks after a player who started three career games should remind us what a crapshoot NFL Draft really is.
