garce911 Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 The 2009 NFL Draft is just weeks away and your team's decision may shape the future of the franchise. Squads have struck gold with Peyton Manning and Tom Brady, while others have gone bust with gems like Ki-Jana Carter and gasp, Ryan Leaf. But before we start worrying about whom our team is going to take, let's take a look at history to reflect on the absolutely god-awful picks our squads have made. Sure some guys couldn't help their fate with career-ending injuries, one or two may have unfortunately departed, and some may have just outright sucked. Bottom line is, knowing what they know now, the team wouldn't have picked the guy they did. So, first vote for your team's biggest first-round bust, and then we'll seed the "winners" to go at it in a 32-man bracket to crown the worst pick of all-time. Sorry Jets and Bengals fans, only one player can represent your team. Now...you're on the clock!! Then vote in the NFC! http://www.opensports.com/community/user/b...ad-f05d98fc8a3d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This just isn't fair. The Browns ruined his career, being sacked 100 times in a year would damage any shoulder QUICKLY. It's got to be Touchdown (that is singular) Tommy Vardell.

DawgTracker Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 I would also vote for touchdown tommy but Cortney Brown might really deserve the nod. Touchdown tommy was relatively healthy and probably should have been a 2nd or 3rd round pick. Brown didn't see the field enough to show his talent.

Oldcrow1945 Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 I agree on the vardell pick.....How in the world do you pick a FULLBACK #1? The 9th overall?! At least Junkin played an important position and looked good on film........But a Fullback? Huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldcrow1945 Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 But Vardell actually scored a few touchdowns for the Browns.... You are correct and I should probably re think my vote.....I was basing my vote on the most ridiculous first round pick ever...Not who actually ended up being the worst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s-eohiodawg Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Mike Phipps is my vote. Look what we gave up to get him. A hall of famer for a bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listercat Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Giving up Warfield for the rights to pick Phipps....THAT was horrid Of late there are so many, Big Money, William Green, Courtney Brown....sigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canton Mike Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Mike Phipps is my vote. Look what we gave up to get him. A hall of famer for a bust. I agree! I was extremely upset with that trade. Even in College, when Phipps went up against a good pass defense (read OSU & Penn State), they picked his pockets....multiple interceptions. Phipps stunk from BEFORE he went to the NFL & we traded Warfield for him....it STILL makes me sick. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldcrow1945 Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 The decision to dump him well before the end of his career was much, much dumber. Constantly hurt and 11 TD's in 5 years for a top ten pick. They were very lucky to get #50 for him in this years draft. I really don't expect anything more from him over the next five years.

listercat Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 The decision to dump him well before the end of his career was much, much dumber. Whatever; that was an effective business decision for a man who limited his career riding a bike and almost killing himself...I am sure Tampa is praying his piercing completely heals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellen rulez!! Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 No that was a sound decision your chubby for Winslow just blocks your sight! Maybe. We'll see though. That was an awful lot of money for someone with obvious concerns. Sounds to me like he healed up pretty nicely, and Mangini didn't want to put the effort into it.

BrownB499 Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 Seems like things started to go terribly wrong after the "Mad Dog in a Meat shop" pick Might as well throw Charles "Whiteline" White on this stench pile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
