2002 Rookie Draft Class

Defensive Linemen

Name

INT

Julius Peppers
North Carolina

63	63	25	70
69	69	31	10
56	56	19	20

Outlook: Peppers stands a good chance at being one of the most legendary defensive lineman the WTF has seen.

Tecmo comparison: Bruce Smith

Name

INT

Ryan Sims
North Carolina

38	56	13	50
44	63	13	20
50	69	13	10
31	50	13	20

Outlook: Peppers' teammate at North Carolina, Ryan Sims is a run-stuffer who can occasionally get after the quarterback. Scouts are not quite as enthusiastic about Sims' chances of stardom.

Tecmo comparison: Sam Clancy

Name

INT

John Henderson
Tennessee

44	63	13	60
50	69	13	20
38	56	13	20

Outlook: Henderson is a Pro-Bowl caliber defensive tackle who excels in the run game more than he does rushing the passer. He'll start for some team for many seasons to come.

Tecmo comparison: Jim Wilks

Name

INT

Dwight Freeney
Syracuse

63	63	13	60
69	69	13	15
56	56	13	25

Outlook: Like Peppers, Freeney is an absolute beast of a defender who has a nose for the quarterback and the football.

Tecmo comparison: Jacob Green

Name

INT

Wendell Bryant
Wisconsin

31	44	13	70
38	50	13	15
25	38	13	15

Outlook: Bryant is roster filler at best. Pass.

Tecmo comparison: Jeff Wright

Name

INT

Albert Haynesworth
Tennessee

50	69	13	60
56	75	13	15
44	63	13	25

Outlook: Haynesworth was a man among boys in the college game despite being only 21 years old. He should be a star in the pro game.

Tecmo comparison: Keith Millard

Name

INT

Bryan Thomas
UAB

56	50	13	80
50	44	13	20

Outlook: Thomas is a rare breed of defensive lineman who might be too small for the line but too big for a linebacker. He has speed and can rush the passer but has a tendency of getting stuck in traffic.

Tecmo comparison: Charles Mann

Name

INT

Charles Grant
Georgia

50	56	13	60
56	63	13	25
44	50	13	15

Outlook: Grant can play on either side of the defensive line and get good pressure on the quarterback.

Tecmo comparison: Daniel Stubbs

Name

INT

Kalimba Edwards
South Carolina

38	50	13	70
44	56	13	10
31	44	13	20

Outlook: Edwards isn't too much of a liability out there but is not much of a playmaker.

Tecmo comparison: Leonard Marshall

Name

INT

Larry Tripplett
Washington

38	56	13	60
44	63	13	20
31	50	13	20

Outlook: Tripplett plays within himself and doesn't make too many mistakes...but he doesn't make too many plays on his own either. Should be available in the later rounds.

Tecmo comparison: Tory Epps

Name

INT

Anthony Weaver
Notre Dame

44	56	19	60
50	63	25	10
38	50	13	30

Outlook: Weaver is a good player who should manage to find a spot on a WTF roster in 2002.

Tecmo comparison: Les Miller

Name

INT

Ryan Denney
BYU

38	56	13	60
44	63	13	20
31	50	13	20

Outlook: Denney is a little older than his peers and is a smart player who will probably manage a roster spot somewhere.

Tecmo comparison: Al Baker

Name

INT

Alex Brown
Florida

50	63	25	50
56	69	31	10
44	56	19	40

Outlook: Brown gets good pressure on the passer and has enough size and strength to help against the run. A 2nd round pick is probably in order.

Tecmo comparison: Vaughan Johnson

Name

INT

Justin Bannan
Colorado

31	44	13	70
38	50	13	10
25	38	13	20

Outlook: Bannan is strictly a backup defensive tackle who struggles to shed the blocks of any reasonable lineman.

Tecmo comparison: Tim Goad

Name

INT

Rocky Bernard
Texas A&M

38	56	13	60
44	63	13	30
31	50	13	10

Outlook: Bernard is a good interior pass rusher but is not among the elite at the position.

Tecmo comparison: Danny Noonan

Name

INT

Kenyon Coleman
UCLA

31	50	13	60
38	56	13	20
25	44	13	20

Outlook: Coleman struggles when pressed into starting duty but can make the occasional play. His speed leaves a lot to be desired.

Tecmo comparison: Jason Buck

Name

INT

Aaron Kampman
Iowa

56	56	13	70
63	63	13	10
50	50	13	20

Outlook: Kampman excels at rushing the passer but is not as good when asked to defend the run. His elite speed should gain him a starting job for 2002 and beyond.

Tecmo comparison: Jeff Cross

Name

INT

Howard Green
LSU

38	38	13	70
44	44	13	15
31	31	13	15

Outlook: Green is awful.

Tecmo comparison: Skip McClendon

Name

INT

Josh Mallard
Georgia

38	44	13	60
44	50	13	30
31	38	13	10

Outlook: Mallard can play if needed in a pinch, but otherwise is simply not a very good player.

Tecmo comparison: Greg Kragen

Name

INT

Monsanto Pope
Virginia

31	50	13	70
38	56	13	15
25	44	13	15

Outlook: Pope is too slow to be of much value in the WTF.

Tecmo comparison: Jim Skow

Name

INT

Raheem Brock
Temple

44	56	13	60
50	63	13	20
38	50	13	20

Outlook: Brock isn't going to wow anyone but has the ability to be a solid starter on a contending team.

Tecmo comparison: Les Miller

Name

INT

Carlos Hall
Arkansas

38	44	13	60
44	50	13	10
31	38	13	30

Outlook: Hall had a fine college career at Arkansas but will struggle to make a name for himself in the WTF.

Tecmo comparison: Brian Smith

Name

INT

Brett Keisel
BYU

38	50	13	50
44	56	13	30
31	44	13	20

Outlook: Keisel can contribute to the success of a defense but isn't going to make a lot of plays on his own to help the team win.

Tecmo comparison: Erik Howard
