What Is Your Team's Worst Ever Draft Mistake?

Did they pass on the oppurtunity to draft a future hall of famer? Draft Ryan Leaf?

Alot of Bush haters will say the Saints should never have drafted Reggie/he is a bust, but I have faith that he will bounce back this season. Personally, I fel like our worst mistake was when Mike Ditka traded away ALL our draft picks for the rights to draft Ricky Williams.

But anyways, we're talking about your team.

Discuss.

    In my lifetime any pick Dave Campo made while the coach. Also while Parcells made a lot of great picks Bobby Carpenter is a bust.

    Just for fun though I bet every Chargers fan is going to say Ryan Leaf.

    Quentin Moses was the highest player to get drafted and be cut within his first year. Drafted by the Oakland Raiders with the first pick in the third round in April, Moses was cut on September 1. He was claimed off waivers by the Arizona Cardinals on September 2, 2007. Moses was released by the Cardinals on October 16, 2007. He was signed by the Miami Dolphins on October 23, 2007.

    Bucs: Drafting Trent Dilfer

  • For my Cowboys, any pick during the Dave Campo years (2000-2002). The Cowboys also passed over Dan Marino way back in 1983 for Jim Jeffcoat, but a lot of teams are guilty of that.

    Falcons--Taking Matt Ryan will be our biggest mistake. Trading Favre was a pretty big mistake. Our draft crew sucks if you've noticed the trend. Jenkins is a bust, BUT Norwood has insane potential if they give him the rock.

    My favorite team is the Ravens. We ussually don't make mistakes early in the draft, but we made 1 that screwed us up for years. That pick was Kyle Boller. He might be an OK quarterback somewhere else, but he will NEVER be good in Baltimore.
