Best Player To come out of Eastern Kentucky
#23
[quote author=Dolphinsfan link=topic=20983.msg214541#msg214541 date=1142902627]

Webb was drafted in the 8th round out of college, LeMaster was the #6  player chosen in the draft overall out of HIGH SCHOOL.

Last time I checked, draft place had no effort on the careers of an athlete.  Tom Brady - 6th round pick #199 overall pick, Ryan Leaf - 1st round #2 overall pick, which would you rather have?

Roger Clemens was selected in the 12th round of the 1981 draft.  The #1 overall pick that year was RHP Mike Moore.  I bet the Mariners and the rest of the league are still kicking their butts over that one.

Nolan Ryan was also selected in the 12th round but of the 1965 draft. 

LeMaster was a great player, and I don't know who is better, or who will be better when it's said and done.  But using draft position as part of your argument is pointless.
