QB: Adrian McPherson (5th round 2005)
RB: Antonio Pittman (4th round 2007)
RB: Troy Davis (3rd round 1997)

Not even close. There's so many to pick from, I know, but Wuerffel shouldn't be slighted. He earned this spot!

I agree. McPherson was injured by a golf cart driven by a guy in a costume who was probably in the arena league on a team that McPherson threw 37 TDs against.

Changes to the above...
QB - Dave Wilson - 1st round in supplemental draft
RB - Vaughn Dunbar - 1st round bust
RB - Ray Zellars/Mario Bates - 2nd round
LB - Reggie Freeman - 2nd round
S- Jerod Cherry - 2nd round

Another excellent choice.

Semantics. I chose McPherson because he never even came close to being an NFL QB, injury or not--that didn't stop him from lining up behind the guard in the preseason.
People with blinders on knew Wuerffel had a rag arm and wouldn't amount to much, and his team was so awful he had no chance. But he was at least good enough to start for 2 NFL teams.
Dave Wilson was not good, but he wasn't horrible. At times he was kinda adequate, and he led the Saints to that ridiculous comeback win at Cincinnati in 1987.
Those are really the only three you can choose from. Maybe Ronnie Lee South in the 60s.

So what! That's not too bad. We had a starting QB throw a backwards pass...in a real game...and laugh about it.

He was drafted for both, might as well let him have it.

That Sullivan pick was so fricking bad

I didn't put Dunbar because he got hurt a lot and he wasn't horrible when he was healthy. But he was under strong consideration.
Bates was actually the best of the Saints 90s RBs in my opinion. I had Zellars on the list at FB.
Freeman made the list.
I thought about Cherry, but at least he was a special teams contributor here and with the Patriots.

Dunbar exceeded 75 yds twice in his Saints career. He wasn't good at all. He's 10x the bust that mid round draft picks Troy Davis and Antonio Pittman are.

The Saints traded up to draft Pittman and he didn't even make the team.
I remember the expectations were HUGE for Troy Davis coming off his career at Iowa State and he barely averaged 3 yards a carry.

How many 1st rounders did he cost? Because Dunbar cost one.

So huge he was a 3rd round pick.

Pretty positive McPherson was kickin it in Jr. High in 1995.

You're right.
Posted on 4/14/15 at 4:44 pm to lsutigers1992
I like that you put JOHNATHAN SULLIVAN in caps
Posted on 4/14/15 at 5:48 pm to lsutigers1992
Irv Smith was a TE, not WR.
Posted on 4/14/15 at 7:54 pm to Kegg
Trading up in the first round is the worse decision a team can do. How many non qb players are worth a 1st rounder plus other picks?
So why would an unknown rookie be worth it?

Typo. Thanks.

Sullivan was bad but Sean Knight was worse. Erxleben had to be the biggest wasted pick of all time. Is it too soon to put Stanley Jean Baptiste on the list?
