In recent memory, it has to be Johnathan Sullivan, no doubt. He was the 6th pick in the 1st round of the 2003 NFL Draft by the Saints, and was a HUGE bust by all accounts. Can you guys think of a worse 1st round pick by the Saints? Especially with players who the Saints could have gotten instead: Terrell Suggs, Troy Polamalu, Kevin Williams, Marcus Trufant, etc.

Has anybody mentioned that we traded two first round picks (17 and the 18th we got for Ricky Williams) to move up to 6 and take Sullivan? That was a dreadful pick in every way imaginable.

Still, I give the nod to Erxleben. Taking a kicker/punter in the first is terrible value even IF he pans out... and he flopped.

Erxleben and its not even close. We selected a kicker in the 1st round, the first and only team to ever do so . Not only that, but the guy garbage. I still can't believe we drafted a kicker at #11. Unreal.

Kind of surprised no one has mentioned that we gave up an entire draft and two picks for the next to draft Ricky Williams. That was the dumbest thing I've ever seen in organized sports.

That hurt us in more ways than him not being what they thought he would be.

Didn't the Pats call Sullivan a fat tub of goo, or something like that right before they cut him?
