NFL draft 2000
Joel Buchsbaum's mock draft
By Joel Buchsbaum, Contributing editor

Penn State DE Courtney Brown
|
Unless Peter Warrick has a sensational personal workout for the Browns, Cleveland will
pass on the Florida State wideout and take one of the two Penn State defenders — OLB
LaVar Arrington or DE Courtney Brown — with the first overall pick. And unless
Alabama OLT Chris Samuels fails his physical or has a poor workout, Warrick will fall to
the fourth slot and possibly even lower than that.
Please note that this mock draft was done almost a month before the draft. Free-agent
signings, trades and workouts will still have a dramatic impact on the pecking order.
