Is this part of a sarcastic post? He wasn’t drafted nearly as high as the other dudes and at least he had some success. He’s better than Atlanta’s other top 10 DE blunder Jamaal Anderson. I’m wanting to say Aaron Curry just because of the expectation. If we’re going on who was the least talented/worst player of the bunch? Probably Vernon Gholston. Here’s a huge embarrassment though: The Browns took a linebacker in the 2nd round in 2011(?) named David Veikune. He did not record a tackle in his career. As a linebacker. How is that even possible? Especially because he was healthy. Edited February 12, 2020 by BleedTheClock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totty Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Jamarcus Russell DT from LSU. Raiders fault though. They were clearly playing him out of position. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT14 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Aaron Curry is my answer. "Safest pick in the draft". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Buck Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 For the Vikings, there is an even bigger bust than Troy Williamson. His name was Dimitrius Underwood. He was a defensive end who turned out to have mental problems. We signed him to a $5.3 million contract and he ended up going AWOL after his first practice in training camp, never to be seen in any team activities again. He didn't end up getting paid any of the contract money, but we ended up wasting our first-round pick (#29 overall) on him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fair, but I remember the hype coming in on Dorsey - folks were comparing him to Warren Sapp, and I actually thought he'd live up that expectation, he was a beast in college.

Uncle Buck Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 I never consider players whose careers are derailed by injuries to be busts. In my book, that's not bad scouting, it's just bad luck. You can't blame a guy for getting hurt in a sport as violent as NFL football. Nobody wants to get hurt. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keef Rivers! bust for the Bears, but had a nice run in Cincy. I wouldn't really consider him a bust overall. when I think of non QB bust, I think of Tony Mandarich and Vernon Gholston 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember wanting Glenn Dorsey or Sedrick Ellis so bad. Got Keith Rivers instead. Man, looking bad at those drafts and seeing those names brings back so many memories. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who was picked after Tony Mandarich was picked SECOND overall in 1989?... #2 Barry Sanders #3 Derrick Thomas #4 Deion Sanders ugh. And Packers fans wonder why we were crap for all those years.
