The Incredible Bust, Tony Mandarich is the guy with icing all over his face that made our team have pie all over theirs. The three HOFers drafted directly after him has to make him the worst. OK, ya got me. I forgot about Tony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy's name slips me, big corner that played for the Broncos I'm thinking 2003-06ish. I think that guys in the 6'2-4 range typically either bulk up to play LB or play basketball. You are probably thinking of Lenny Walls. He was listed as 6'4" !! It certainly wasn't the corner on the other side who was only 6'0" .......but his name was Champ Bailey.

Such a disappointment when a supposedly dominant player becomes a whole heap of nothing. Imagine (in the modern era) being a huge fan of the Seahawks 'Legion Of BOOM' and then watch them turn into the legion of *plib*. Do I feel sorry for them, heh, NO (I don't like the Hawks).

vegas492 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Mine was Eddy Lacy. I wanted him in round one as I thought he was the perfect, physical back to compliment the GB finesse offense with Rodgers. And...he kind of was...until he ate himself out of the league. Great feet on that man, tough. Not too many guys his size have/had feet like that. Still sad that it didn't work out for him. My other one was/is Spriggs. I loved him coming out, thought he was a steal for GB. And he has just been awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew they did have a tall CB, I thought they had 2, and Lenny Walls was not who I was thinking of... LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasquatch Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Justin Harrell - I remember as soon as I heard his name I was so happy, I jumped off my couch and said "BAM - Super Bowl Baby - 1st Ballot Hall of Famer!!!" I couldn't contain my joy. When I came to, my wife standing over me on the floor asking me what was wrong. I told her that I thought we had just drafted Dwayne Bowe, and then they showed a picture of some d-lineman named Justin Harrell, who I'd never heard of before. Then I started hyperventilating and I must have passed out. I realize this thread is about having high hopes for a player who never panned out - this is my story of elation turned to shear nightmarish hell in an instant. FWIW, Bowe had himself a nice little Pro-Bowl career, though, he wasn't the absolute beast I thought he'd be either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluePacker Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Derek Sherrod. I remember being at a bar with a few coworkers and explaining to my boss why I thought he was a solid pick. Looking back I knew in my gut it wasn't the best pick, but I tried so hard to convince myself and others it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pick6byWoodson Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 On 10/18/2018 at 9:48 AM, Fl0nkerton said: Aaron Rouse. He had some sort of quote being drafted about "having a chip on his shoulder that was shaped like a piece of cheese." This is a good one. I remember him picking off Peyton manning in the end zone his rookie season and thinking he was gonna be a stud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pick6byWoodson Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 The first one that popped in my mind was d.j. williams, I think he won the college award for the best tight end and was supposed to be an aaron Hernandez type player, but just never panned out for some reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannondale Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 What makes the Harrell pick so bad is there were like 8 Pro Bowlers picked before him and like 12 Pro Bowlers picked after him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
