2002 NFL Draft

The 2002 National Football League Draft took place on April 20 and April 21, 2002 at the theater at Madison Square Garden. The draft was broadcast on ESPN both days and eventually moved to ESPN2. The draft began with the Houston Texans selecting David Carr, and it ended with the Texans selecting Mr. Irrelevant, Ahmad Miller. There were 32 compensatory selections distributed among 18 teams, with the Buffalo Bills receiving the most selections with 4. The University of Miami was the college most recognized in the draft, having 5 of its players selected in the first round. Although the Carolina Panthers finished with a 1-15 record which would normally have given them the first pick in each round, the Houston Texans were given the first picks because they were an expansion team.
