Aaron curry
Seahawks
At the time, signed for the most guaranteed money ever for a non qb rookie
Traded year 3 for a 7th round pick. Flamed out a year later.
Looked him up: for any Steelers fans, apparently a decade plus later he's now the inside LB coach for your Pittsburgh Steelers

I would go with Charles Harris. Complete trash pick.
Someone said Dion Jordan. That’s the correct answer.

Todd Blackledge...we could've had Marino.
Also, pick a team who didn't draft Brady.

At the time as there were rumors of his steroid use and I've never felt an O lineman, no matter how good, is worth that high of a pick when there are plenty of very highly rated skill players available.

Picking Terrell Buckley instead of Troy Vincent.
Didn't like that either. It's like the Pack has avoided Badger players since Randy Wright.
eta-My brother was a TBuck fan and I was on the Vincent wagon. TBuck was too small for the pros.

Probably Chad Jackson. There are some doozies from the 70s and early 80s, but that was before my time. In the modern era, it’s hard to find one as bad as Jackson.

Those Jets picks back in the day were pretty bad. Lam Jones, Jeff Lageman, and Kyle Brady come to mind.
Vernon Gholston at #6, finished with zero career sacks

The others that stand out are Peria Jerry, DT, Ole Miss and the trade it took to move up for Julio. I hope Penix turns out more like Julio than Jerry.

Josh Allen was still on the board

Jake Locker as a top 10 pick. GMs go crazy over measurable and don’t look at the film.

The Falcons have too many to list, but just first round picks in the last 10 years....
Pitts
Bijan
Penix
Takk McKinley
Keanu Neal
The top line on Keanu Neal's scouting report was that he delivered violent hits to the receiver after he made the catch. When you're picking a defensive back in the top half of the first round, his best trait better not be what he does AFTER the WR makes the catch. He's supposed to prevent the catch from happening.

Not the worst really, but I remember watching the first day of the ‘05 draft, in which the Broncos only had 1pick. It was the last pick of the 3rd round (last pick of the day) and they pick Maurice Clarett, who hadn’t played football in 2 years.

Cedric Ogbuehi in the first is pretty bad, John Ross in the top 10 wasn’t any better.
Edit: Forgot about Akili Smith

Ted Ginn for the Dolphins
That wasn’t nearly as a bad a pick as Dion Jordan in 2013. Edge rushers was the strength of the team at the time - Olivier Vernon (64.5 career sacks) Cameron Wake(100.5 career sacks).
The Dolphins need OL help badly. They traded up to #3 to take Jordan who had 2 career sacks for Miami in 4 seasons - 2 of which he was suspended for failed drug tests.
The Eagles selected 5X Pro Bowl tackle Lane Johnson with the next pick.
frick Jeff Ireland.

Stanley Jean Baptiste and Rick Leonard
It’s easy to look back at a player who didn’t pan out and poitn fingers, but it’s another to make a pick that was objectively awful at the time. Payton squandered three years of Brees’s prime with complete nonsensical bullshite like this. The team had several positions of need and the Saints drafted SJB a project, raw CB in the second round and then gave up on him after one year, and a projected UFDA in Leonard in the 4th. Leonard never played a regular season down to my knowledge.
Absolutely inexcusable.
