I think Vlade Divac passing on Luka in the draft is worse than what Nico did.

Nah. Every draft pick, no matter how well scouted, is never a sure thing. A 25-year-old 5x all-star who just led your team to the Finals in the prime of his career is a sure thing. And he got traded for Street Clothes because of ego.

Looking at that Al Davis list is funny because it confirms his reputation. If someone stood out for any reason. Whether it was a big leg, a cannon for an arm, or blazing speed, then Al Davis would draft regardless of any other concerns.

What’s strange about Jerry is that for all his flaws that the Cowboys are usually pretty competitive and make the playoffs frequently. Jerry all things considered is probably a middle of the road GM. If he won’t see a Super Bowl again but I could name about 10 teams with actual GMs that are run worse

Ed Wade, not Jim Wade. He actually wasn't awful, he was directed with destroying the roster and he found Jose Altuve.

Worst in Houston history is Bill O'Brien

Nico was awful obviously.

Ex-astronaut Dick Gordon of the Saints. Qualification to be Saints GM? He was an ex-astronaut.
Stupid owner John Mecom

MJ was the owner. And he's widely considered one of the worst owners in NBA history.

Jeff Ireland.

The Miami Dolphins badly needed an OT heading into the 2013 NFL Draft. The first 2 players taken were OT 's - Eric Fisher and Lujke Joeckel. Ireland moved up to the #3 spot trading the #12 and #42 picks to the Raiders. The Dolphins had a Pro Bowl pass rusher (Cameron Wake) on one side and a 23 year old future Pro Bowl pass rusher (Olivier Vernon) on the other side. So what does Ireland do? He drafts a pass rusher - Dion Jordan who had a torn labrum and drugg issues. The Eagles then draft an OT - 6X Pro Bowler Lane Johnson who just finished his 13th season - all with the Eagles. Jordan played 63 games over 8 seasons - 2 of which he didn't play at all because of drug suspensions.

Ireland is also the idiot that asked Dez Bryant if his mother was a prositite at the NFL Combine and told Richie Incognito to punch Jonathan Martin to start the Bullygate fiasco.

Yeah, Matt Mullen, drafted 3 WRs in first round 3 years in a row if I’m not mistaken.

Bum Phillips or Bill Kuharich - Saints
One chose a qb with wooden knees, then gave up a #1 for Richard Todd. The other gave away an entire draft for a pot head , homo RB.
