What was your absolute worst first round pick in the last 10 years?

Postby donnieclark » Tue May 23, 2017 11:39 pm

I'm lookin at mine and one of the funniest and worst picks I've ever made in the first round was 2010, pick 8, I selected..... :drum roll: Pierre Thomas! :lol::unsure: don't ask
Actually I read some huge hype article and I just thought he was going to be one hell of a beast that year. Needlessly to say I came out at like 8th out of 12, was one of my worst picks ever tryin to be cute. What about you guys, have any absolutely horribly first round picks?

I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.

I traded up to fifth for Justin Blackmon. I must have been drunk.

I guess the jury is still out, Treadwell. Closely followed by the year I drafted Lacy in a start up the year he fattened up

^Ouch! I'd have to go with Monte Ball.

I drew the 15th pick (16tms) in an inaugural season draft in 2015. I traded up as far as 10th to draft Dorial Green-Beckham. I passed on Devante Parker.

In 2014, same situation different league, I draft Marquise Lee at 1.12 and passed on Kelvin Benjamin. Not as bad.

Justin Hunter at 1.14

Not that there was much better left on the board, but the pick could have easily been traded for a future first.

I traded up to pick 1.03 to draft Bishop Sankey. That was really an awesome experience. Luckily I was rebuilding and had three top five picks. Two of those picks have been frustrating (Sankey and Sammy Watkins) but the third has been really good (Mike Evans)

A big reminder to us all about the unpredictability of those rookie picks.

I've been a real good drafter but I whiffed on back to back picks one year.

1.07 --- Greg Little
1.08 --- Kendall Hunter
