Introduction

NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue walks onto the stage, as some reaction from the fans in attendance mixes in with his announcement of the next selection.


“With the 150th overall pick in the 2000 NFL Draft, the San Francisco 49ers select...Tom Brady, Quarterback from Michigan.”


The camera pans to 49er fans, some seem to be ok with the pick while others are slightly shaking their head as if they don’t like it. While the analysts begin to decipher what it means.


-Into the Sixth Round of the Draft-


NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue walks back onto the stage, ready to announce the next selection.


“With the 199th overall pick in the 2000 NFL Draft, the New England Patriots select….Todd Husak, Quarterback from Stanford.”


A few starting notes:


So yeah, with this timeline (being my first may I add so take it easy on me lol) I’ll go into how the NFL will look if Tom Brady hadn’t fallen into the Patriots’ lap. I got most of my inspiration from ak-84’s thread, sorry if I rip you off a bit. More inspiration came from Colonel Zoidberg’s thread of Cool Brees and Chill. But yeah, this should be fun.


You won’t believe how hard it is to find 2000 draft videos that aren’t documentaries on Tom Brady. And being born in 1998, I didn’t get the chance to watch it live so I’m not sure if Tagliabue was walking out that late in the draft, even though I have a feeling he wasn’t, but whatever bend your believes a bit.


Last note, I may be going out of town tomorrow until Saturday so if I am, there won’t be updates until I come back which means probably Sunday, so sorry to leave you guys on a tease.
