This afternoon, we are going to look back at the last 10 years for every first-round pick held by an AFC West team. First up is the No. 3 pick, which is held by Kansas City:

The No. 3 Pick Since 1999
Year Team Player Pos. School Comment
2008 Atlanta Matt Ryan QB Boston College Ryan was the Rookie of the Year and he looks like a sure superstar.
2007 Cleveland Joe Thomas OT Wisconsin Thomas is already known as a premier left tackle.
2006 Tennessee Vince Young QB Texas Young has struggled in the NFL and is now a backup for the Titans.
2005 Cleveland Braylon Edwards WR Michigan He has a Pro Bowl under his belt but has fallen out of favor and could be traded.
2004 Arizona Larry Fitzgerald WR Pittsburgh He is widely considered the best receiver in the NFL today.
2003 Houston Andre Johnson WR Miami Johnson is a superstar who is not far off from Fitzgerald.
2002 Detroit Joey Harrington QB Oregon Harrington was a bust. He has bounced around the league and has made little impact.
2001 Cleveland Gerard Warren DT Florida Warren has had his moments but he has not, overall, lived up to his potential.
2000 Washington Chris Samuels OT Alabama He has been an outstanding player for the Redskins.
1999 Cincinnati Akili Smith QB Oregon Smith was a tremendous draft bust.
