We traded an entire draft for a RB that spent his best years with another team

While true, he played well for us when he actually played, its not like he was a bum. And we recouped a lot of that draft capital from the Dolphins when we traded him.

The whole “we traded our entire draft for Ricky Williams” is cliched, and the idea that it was the Saints “worst” draft pick or really even a bad move is just flat out wrong.

San Francisco trading 3 first rounders
to pick Tray Lance was far worse trade in terms of what they gave up and who they picked. SF also got zero production out of Lance and traded him for a 4th rounder, as compared to Ricky’s PT with the Saints and being back two 1sts.

But the real answer to the Saint worst pick has to be Erxleben because he was a freaking punter. I’ve always disdained Alvin Toles and taking Alex Molden over Eddie George, but no one will ever top taking a punter as a bad pick.
