Giants 2000 draft
1 11 Ron Dayne HB Wisconsin
2 42 Cornelius Griffin DT Alabama
3 73 Ron Dixon WR Lambuth
4 105 Brandon Short ILB Penn St.
5 140 Ralph Brown CB Nebraska
6 177 Dhani Jones OLB Michigan
7 217 Jeremiah Parker DT California
Obviously the 2000 draft will be remembered for Ron Dayne. He had a fine rookie season, but has never justified the 1st round pick or money. Cornelius Griffin was a passable tackle, but is playing much better this year (for the Redskins) than in years past. Brandon Short and Dhani Jones became the Giants starting linebackers. They weren't great, but they were OK. Good value for 4th and 6th round picks.
Posted by James Trotta at October 19, 2004 10:08 PMI am curious to hear what Ron Dixon is doing. Is he with a team or anything of this sort. Ron Dixon was a player who i think intrigued all of us at one point with hi 4.2 speed. If anyone has any information on why he was cut or anythign at all please let me know?
