2)
Michael Vick - No 1 to Falcons in 01
“Maybe not if he comes back”
“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.”
“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.”
3)
Tony Mandarich - No 2 to Packers in 89
“And Troy Aikman and Derrick Thomas. Boy ill bet the Packers feel stupid.”
“Big guy big bust. Barry Sanders and Deion Sanders went in that draft.”

8)
Brian Bosworth - Supp Draft to Seahawks in 87
“The Boz amounted to at the time a waste of money 24 games later.”
9)
