Which Team Will Totally Botch Their Pick?

Vikes miss a pick?

 

Millen takes another WR?

Hopefully not my Saints. While we've had our fair share of forgettable drafts, I think Sean Payton and Co. will turn things around for us this year. We've had some nice DE picks (Will Smith, Charles Grant, Darren Howard, etc.) but some recent not-so-lucky drafts (Jonathan Sullivan #6 overall, Donte Stallworth, etc.).

 

Jammal Brown was a nice pick for us last year and has become an instant starter. Josh Bullocks in the 2nd rd. has proven decent as he emerged as a starter late last season...

 

I still think we need another OT but we also need a MLB and DT badly - and another CB and Center to a lesser extent. If the staff feels that Jammal Brown can slide from RT to LT (current ongoing project) and if they are confident John Stichcomb (former 2nd rd guy in his 4th year) can play RT, they may as well pass on D'Brick and trade back for Hawk or something else. Although I find it very hard to pass on D'Brick...

the Jets take QB- Ken O'Brien

"everybody said that if Marino was still around, the Jets would take him. Obviously the Jets know something that noone up here knows!"

[Vikings4ever 550]

If the Vikes missed another pick, and the result turned out to be someone like Kevin Williams, I could live with it.

Can't say their science is perfect, but here's a Washington Post article yesterday on team's drafting sucess.

Judging a team by number of games player per pick is questionable at best. Using that criteria, you could call Joey Harrington and David Carr good picks. Their own Washington Redskins will get positive credit for drafing a doofus like Patrick Ramsey, while a guy like Phillip Rivers would count as a bad draft pick when we haven't even seen him play.

 

If you want to go by results, the 3 worst drafters are the Lions, Cardinals, and Saints. And it's not even close...

[Eriadoc 4]

The Texans have only had four drafts, so there's not much history to draw upon. Well, there's Charlie Casserley's draft history, but we try not to go there. They've typically done well in the first round (Carr, AJ, D-Rob, Travis Johnson), but beyond that, they haven't picked many winners. So I'm predicting a bust at 2.1 and 3.1 this year.

 

Although, if Dan Reeves is heavily involved in the draft process, I could be wrong. :hopeful:

an interesting concept, if not entertaining, but i'm not sure how much value the approach has. for example, there is only a 1.6 games-per-season average separating the #1 "best" draft and the bottom rung of the "worst" draft.

Millen takes another WR?

 

each year we say this jokingly and each year he continues to do so ...when will the madness stop?

Millen takes another WR?

 

Whether a WR or not, it is guaranteed that almost every pick he makes from top to bottom will completely suck.

 

You'd have to figure the law of averages would come into play at some point, and he'd just luck into a solid player, but apparantly he's too stupid for even that.

Don't be surprised if Saints draft V. Young. You heard it first right here.

even if millen wears a pink tutu, waltzes up to the microphone, pisses himself, and then picks bobby layne in the first round, i'll still rejoice at the end of the day i'm not a bear fan

Yeah, sure would suck rooting for a team that actually wins games once in a while.

Whoever picks Vince Young. Double it if they actually trade up to get him.

Yeah...it sucks being a fan of a team that does win and have a long history of winning in this league.

apparently it does for you. that's the inexplicable part. hence, my advice to locate some happy medication somewhere.

You are abusing the trophy icon, kenmuscles.

 

Why does it figure that he would convert? He's been a solid, hardcore, non-welching, non-tucking-in-my-son-for-a-month-when-my-team-goes-south, stand-up packer fan through and through.

 

Stop projecting yourself, Welch/Disappeardog

packers, definitely. last 5-slot pick was terrell buckley. i have a feeling a lot of packer fans are going to be doing a after pick 1.5 saturday.

 

feel free to bump for dumhass saturday about 1 est (as he'll be too drunk and angry to do so himself

Drunk? yes; angry? We'll see, welchy

 

Isn't it nice to go 20 years between top-10 picks instead of having 20 years since your last non top-10 pick?

There have been some classic draft day blunders - make your prediction for the 2006 NFL draft...

 

Last year's worst blunder was by the Bears, so you can add them to the list...

the titans if they take pac man jones at #3..........ohh wait that was #6 last season

 

 

i nominate the titans for repeat performers if they take matt lionheart at #3

Sorry. Didn't realize that Detroit had a non-crappy season that recently.

[themorey 1]

My guess is the Texans draft George Bush with the #1 pick and only realize their mistake when the Jets take Reggie Bush at #4. Meanwhile W. rides the pine all season.

Yeah, they'd be a lot better off with a fat, lazy TE.

we already have a winner: the bears just blew their 3rd-round pick in the 2006 draft on a felon who beats patrons unconscious at denny's restaurants--and gave him a $7.5 million dollar signing bonus to boot!

Most people wait for the guys to actually hit the field before labeling the a bust. Not welchdog! But hey, I can see why, his predictions have always worked out so well in the past.

when your drafted player goes out two days after being drafted and beats an innocent man unconscious, your scouts have focked up big-time. sorry, that is the definition of a bust.

as opposed to a lazy rb who made the bears starting rb fire his agent and hire rosenhaus? yep, you bet the bears would have been much better with a player like you describe--much more even a mike williams

I've actually asked them to give you a call so they can tap into your amazing powers of foresight. Maybe you can help them make some predictions.

 

But hey, if this is the definition of bust, I'd like to know what you would call a GM who takes a guy after he fails a drug test. With the 2nd pick in the draft no less. Oh wait, we already know the answer to that - GENIUS!!!!!

be glad to help. it's not rocket science--especially when a player has done it before.

I didn't ask about the player, I asked about the GM. What would you call a GM that drafts druggies knowingly?
