Vote for Ryan Leaf - No 2 to Chargers in 98 1) Ryan Leaf - No 2 to Chargers in 98

Hands down.

hawks12thman

this guys a joke

jdsoaresfamily2

I wonder where the Colts would be now if they had the number 2 pick.


Vote for Michael Vick - No 1 to Falcons in 01 2) Michael Vick - No 1 to Falcons in 01

Maybe not if he comes back

waterboy51

Even when he played he was a terrible qb and the most overrated one in the league now hes in prison and if the falcons had not traded there pick they couldve gotten LT and Drew Brees just a horrible move. By the way how is Mario Williams on this list. Hes a great player way better than Reggie Bush who is closer to a bust than Mario. Must be some stupid people out there.

Chris-1

Just think that the Chargers had the NO 1 pick that year and traded the pick and got LT and Drew Brees. Vick’s next stop is the US Bureau of Prisons.


Vote for Tony Mandarich - No 2 to Packers in 89 3) Tony Mandarich - No 2 to Packers in 89

And Troy Aikman and Derrick Thomas. Boy ill bet the Packers feel stupid.

aman28

Big guy big bust. Barry Sanders and Deion Sanders went in that draft.


Vote for Tim Couch - No 1 to Browns in 99 4) Tim Couch - No 1 to Browns in 99

Should have taken Edgerrin James or Torry Holt.

Darrell

In his defense, Browns were expansion team but faltered badly and was recently released by Jags.


Vote for David Carr - No 1 to Texans in 02 5) David Carr - No 1 to Texans in 02

Same as Couch..4 bad years and a ton of sacks and for his troubles landed in Carolina.


Vote for Mario Williams - No 1 to Texans in 06 6) Mario Williams - No 1 to Texans in 06

And the Texans passed on Reggie Bush.


Vote for Leo Hayden - No. 1 to Vikings in 71 7) Leo Hayden - No. 1 to Vikings in 71

Star running back for Ohio State. Never gained a single yard for the Vikings. Played for St. Louis for 2 years and had a grand total of 17 yards for his NFL career.

Vote for Brian Bosworth - Supp Draft to Seahawks in 87 8) Brian Bosworth - Supp Draft to Seahawks in 87

The Boz amounted to at the time a waste of money 24 games later.


Vote for Joey Harrington - No 3 to Lions in 2002 9) Joey Harrington - No 3 to Lions in 2002

Although to be fair, he played for Matt Millen, and none of the other QBs from that draft have gone on to anything spectacular.

Darrell


Vote for Dimitruis Underwood - No 29 to Vikings in 99 10) Dimitruis Underwood - No 29 to Vikings in 99

Never played a down with Vikes and mental issues killed his career.

Vote for Cedric Benson - No 4 to Bears in 2005 12) Cedric Benson - No 4 to Bears in 2005

Just think of the position the bears would be in if they still had Thomas Jones. Benson never ran for any yards and he’s not even on the team anymore. It’s actually probably a good thing they got rid of him. We need thomas jones!

crazyeyes56

Wow! To think we could have just kept Thomas Jones and traded Benson. Where’s Benson now? O Yeah taking a breathalizer some where.
