And just for fun, here are all the goalies picked in the 1st round since 2000. I went to 2008, since going any newer didn't seem to make sense.
2000:
Rick Dipietro - 1st overall
Brent Krahn - 9th Overall
2001:
Pascal Leclaire - 8th Overall
Dan Blackburn - 10th Overall
Jason Bacashihua - 26th Overall
Adam Munro - 29th Overall
2002:
Kari Lehtonen - 2nd Overall
Cam Ward - 25th Overall
Hannu Toivonen - 29th Overall
2003:
Marc-Andre Fleury - 1st Overall
2004:
Al Montoya -6th Overall
Devan Dubnyk - 14th Overall
Marek Schwarz - 17th Overall
Cory Schneider - 26th Overall
2005:
Carey Price - 5th Overall
Tuuka Rask - 21st Overall
2006:
Jonathan Bernier - 11th Overall
Riku Helenius - 15th Overall
Semyon Varlamov - 23rd Overall
Leland Irving - 26th Overall
2007:
None
2008:
Chet Pickard - 18th Overall
Thomas McCollum - 30th Overall
I've bolded the ones who I consider to be relatively successful picks (even if there were arguably better players picked after them). Bernier and Varlamov are still up in the air in my mind.
