What was the worst draft year that you can remember for your team?

It has to be more than just 1 bad player, just an abysmal draft up and down. For my 49ers it has to be 2008, where they drafted Kentwan Balmer and Chilo Rachal in the first 2 rounds, they forfeited a fifth round pick for anti-tampering rules violations, and the best player they took the entire draft was Larry Grant (a solid backup ILB who is the only player still on the team). Josh Morgan is the only other player of any value, and he was overpaid by Washington.

Update:

And as a sidenote, Larry Grant was their 7th round pick. Josh Morgan was a 6th round pick.

    2005.

    They traded up to draft Troy Williamson who was supposed to replace Randy Moss. The other 1st round pick was Erasmus James. Nowadays C.J. Mosley is the only player still in the league.

    Sorry. I'm going with one bad player. How could any year be worse than the year the Lions took Andre Ware?
