Michael Vick and Mewelde Moore were taken in the 2000 MLB Draft, as memory serves me. I think both were taken on the second day as position players, though. Samardzija is not "far and away" the best WR in this upcoming draft class, though. In terms of seniors, Jason Hill (Washington State) should be able to push him for that distinction. The junior class is absolutely filthy, though. If he came out, most people would give the "Best WR in the Draft" distinction to Calvin Johnson out at Georgia Tech. Some people think he could be the best player in the 2007 draft, period. Other people really like Dwayne Jarrett (Southern Cal) and Sidney Rice (South Carolina) over Samardzija. Granted, we'll see what happens in the fall. It pretty much hinges on who comes out and who doesn't, along with injuries and production (much like any other draft). Given his speed limitations and possible commitment to the Cubs, I have a feeling he might slip in the draft.
