In the 2nd part of Rookie Alert's series on best draft choices per round, today we will be examining the Best 7th Round Draft Choices of the Last 10 Years. Yesterday, we checked out the Best Undrafted Rookie Free Agents of the Last 10 years. On today's list, NFL GMs had to risk something, albeit a 7th round pick is worth as much as Chad Johnson's demands to be traded, to select these future stars.

T. J. Houshmandzadeh, WR, Cincinnati Bengals, 2001
Unlike the other WRs on the list, Housh went to a pretty big school in a good conference. As part of the Pac 10, TJ went up against some good competition before the Bengals decided to take a chance on him. Seven years later and it is 415 Receptions, 33 Receiving TDs, and a 2007 Pro Bowl Selection. After TJ's rookie season, Cincinnati went back to Oregon St to take a guy named Chad Johnson.

Donald Driver, WR, Green Bay Packers, 1999
Before exploding on the NFL scene, Driver was an olympic hopeful at Alcorn State University. Driver was a potential track and field star for the USA in the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. This is all before the Green Bay Packers saw potential in the ASU WR. Totaling just 88 receptions in college, Driver has gone on to become a 3-time NFL Pro Bowler. Rewind to '99 and the Browns may consider him instead of Tim Couch.

Ahmad Bradshaw, RB, New York Giants, 2007
Bradshaw came on strong during the last few games of the Giants' Regular Season in 2007. He continued to earn carries into the playoffs, and played an important part in the Giants' upset over the undefeated Patriots in Super Bowl XLII. Coming from the MAC, Bradshaw rushed for over 1500 yards and 19 touchdowns in his junior (and final) year. After being passed up upon by 31 other teams for almost 7 full rounds, Bradshaw went on to be the leading rusher in Super Bowl XLII.

Marques Colston, WR, New Orleans Saints, 2006
251 picks came and went at the 2006 NFL Draft. Marques Colston, out of Division 1-AA Hofstra, did not get his name called until number 252. The New Orleans Saints gave Colston a shot with a 7th round pick. Colston immediately burst onto the NFL Scene and from Week 1 of his Rookie Year, he was dominating NFL secondaries on a weekly basis. At 6'4", Colston quickly developed into the prototypical big receiver, giving opposing defenses trouble in matchups.

Ronald Curry, WR, Oakland Raiders, 2002
Another College QB turned WR, Curry was a two-sport athlete at UNC. He was the starting QB for the Tar Heel Football Program and the starting PG for the prestigious UNC Basketball Team. Curry has been an elite athlete since High School, battling with former first rounder Michael Vick throughout HS and College. The Raiders took a chance on Curry and it paid off. They recently rewarded him with the starting spot and a 5 year, $20 Million contract.

Patrick Crayton, WR, Dallas Cowboys, 2004
If the Dallas cowboys are running a trick play with a pass involved, you can count on 7th round selection Patrick Crayton to be involved. Crayton played his college ball at Northwest Oklahoma State University where he lined up as Wide Receiver for his first three years. His Senior year was a bit different as Crayton moved under center to be the team's Starting QB. The 216th overall pick in 2004, Crayton got his chance on field due to injuries and never gave up the spot. He received a pretty nice extension from the Cowboys in 2007.

Brian Jennings, LS, San Francisco 49ers, 2000
Why is a Long Snapper on the list? How many Long Snappers from the 7th round have made it to the Pro Bowl? Jennings, a Sun Devil from ASU, was selected to the 2003 Pro Bowl. He is still the Long Snapper for the 49ers.

2008 7th Rounder To Look Out For
Marcus Monk, WR, Chicago Bears. Out of Arkansas, Monk was a dominating Wide Receiver. At 6'4", he is built to be a big bodied, possession receiver. Without injury, Monk would have been a possible Day 1 selection. If Chicago can straighten out it's passing game, Monk may become a nice steal for the Bears Organization.
