I am not sure he can be topped as the all time worst draft pick.



82' - #13 WR Lindsay Scott
87' - #11 DT Shawn Knight
96' - #11 DB Alex Molden
97' - #10 OG Chris Naeole
03' - #06 DT Johnathan Sullivan

Erxleben was a beast at Texas! He is the only three-time All-American punter in NCAA history, being a consensus choice in 1976, 1977, and 1978. But yeah, terrible pick at #11!

If and that's a big if Davenport doesn't turn it around he'll go down as the worse because he cost us two 1st rounders.

This could easily be the worst pick in Saints history. Erxleben was a kicker and punter. The logic behind that selection floors me.

87' - #11 DT Shawn Knight


From wikipedia:

Shawn Matthew Knight (born June 4, 1964) is a former American football defensive tackle. He was drafted in the first round by the New Orleans Saints, 11th overall in the 1987 NFL Draft. He played just three seasons in the NFL playing one season for the Saints, Denver Broncos and Arizona Cardinals each.

In his senior year at Brigham Young University, Knight recorded 16 sacks. When Knight's pro career began, he reported late to training camp and fell out of favor with the coaching staff. After his rookie season, New Orleans traded Knight to the Denver Broncos in exchange for Ted Gregory. Knight played 31 games in his NFL career, with only one start. The only official statistic that Knight recorded in 31 games was a fumble recovery.

85 Alvin Toles wasn't bad enough to make the list?

What makes the Sullivan pick even worse is that I thought we were making the trade up to get Troy Polamalu.
Every time I watched Polamalu play or those dam Head and Shoulders commercials I think of us drafting that fat tub of crap.

Naole doesn't belong in the same breath as those others. Dude was an NFL starter for like 10 years
