I thought Jared Tomich would be good for the Saints but he was not.
i think he was a 2nd rounder out of Nebraska.
in fact i'd always take the cheese when the Saints got a black shirt guy from Nebraska.
Bullocks, Keyou Craver, Tomich. Shanle was from Nebraska too but at least he helped get the Saints a ring. Also the Saints didn't pick Shanle originally.
when Miami played Nebraska at the Rose Bowl in January 2002 it was Shanle who had to try and guard Shockey. Ouch.
I thought since Troy Davis was a record breaking back in college he would do good for the Saints but another WHIFF!

Courtney Watson. He was drafted in the 2nd round, in the 2004 draft, and I thought he was our answer at MLB for yrs to come.
Exactly who I had in mind. That was in the pre-Vilma period when we had a very lackluster LB corps. I think Colby Bockwoldt was a 6th rounder from a draft around that period and contributed more than Watson.
Also, Antonio Pittman out of tOSU, considering we traded up to get him and I don’t think he made it out of training camp.

special!
I Hope Devine Ozigbo doesn't follow his path in the NFL.

The way Kenny Wilkerson hyped him up, I thought Daryl Hobbs was going to be pretty good. Turns out he was just one more dude who thought Danny Abramowicz was full of crap.

My Answer: Haouli Kikaha. I was 100% convinced that he would be lethal off the edge and he never amounted to anything.
Hard to pcik just one, but probably Russell Erxleben for me. He was all-world in college and a big dud as both a P and a PK in the NFL. #11 overall pick in the 1979 draft. HOF TE Kellen Winslow went two picks later. Completely wasted pick

Although it's hard to label a fourth rounder a bust, I really thought that Danny Wuerffel was going to be a good NFL quarterback. In college, he ripped LSU apart. He was one of the more accurate college quarterbacks I'd ever seen. And, he seemed like a really smart QB.
Some have said that he had small hands and the difference in size between the college football and the NFL ball was his downfall.
Everything he did at UF involved timing routes where he threw to a spot on the field and the WR ran under it as opposed to throwing to the WR. He lacked the arm strength needed to play in the NFL.

Every year it was "Mario Bates dropped out/injured himself during the annual one and a half mile conditioning run".
I still remember always subbing him in as the Saints RB in Madden 95. If only his physical self was more like his digital avatar from a Sega Genesis game. Dude was tissue paper soft, and that’s probably an insult to toilet paper.
Also I wouldn’t call him a bust but I thought Donte Stallworth would be so much better for us. He had some flashes but there’s a reason we traded him when Colston emerged.

im gonna go with ricky williams, we gave up an entire draft that severely hurt the team for many years and got an emotional head case who complained if team mates didnt run over and help him up and pat him on the back after every play.
ditka was an idiot and never even bothered to find out if the guy he was selling the teams future over was a mature adult or a spoiled man child
the man quit football just so he could smoke weed for chrst sake
i know thats not really what you are asking but as far as potential vs actual production vs price paid to get him, there was no one worse in my opinion

I saw Wuerffel play a few times. The best description I ever heard of him as an NFL QB was that the game moved at 45 and Danny played it at 33 1/3.

If Ricky had produced at a 2000+ yd per season clip he wouldn’t have been worth what Ditka gave up for him. You never sell the entire farm for one player.
It’s like Ditka had never of the Hershel Walker trade from 10 years before.

Ditka sorta lucked into the bears being so dominant. Sure he acquired the players but I’m not sure he knew exactly why his teams were so good.
In his mind it was mainly built on having Walter Payton (which it was) but there was something else that he couldn’t get right in NO: Defense.
When he sold the farm for his new Walter Payton, he didn’t really have a plan on how to also make the defense good. Without a stout D, the dominant running game is worthless cuz you’ll be chasing and forced to throw the ball.

Reggie was a good decoy team which followed him around to make the other guys better.
