re: Is Vaughn Dunbar the worst draft pick in the history of Saints?

Sedrick Ellis?

Can we all just agree that we have drafted some shite bags of players over our history in the 1st rd?

Probably the worse 1st round bust as any team in NFL history.

Toi Cook led to success? He was worse than Jason David. His was the original Toast. The strings of obscenities my father yelled at him every game was why I sound like a sailor half the time.

Toi's successful seasons were definitely in tandem with guys like Dave Waymer, Robert Massey, Milton Mack, with Gene Atkins patrolling.

I agree he had a hell of a time against Rice and Taylor but I think overall he was a solid contributor to a stout defense.

Pretty bad but not close to being the worst. I have been following Saint's drafts from the beginning and we can start at the beginning - Les Kelley. Then there was Erxleben and Shawn Knight. As far as I am concerned the draft blunder that still upsets me the most is a pick they did not make - La'el Collins in the 7th round.

Solid... And Ricky Williams

Ricky Williams was a head case, but no where near the Saints worst draft pick. We got decent production out of him for a few years and then got a 1 and a contingent pick based on production, which may have been another 1, when we traded him to Miami.

Ditka was a much bigger bust for the Saints than Williams was.

Vaughn Dunbar was a very good football player. He was explosive, but a knee injury ended his career. The worst #1 draft choice in my opinion is a tie in this order. Larry Burton, Russell Exleben, Rick Middleton, and the DT bum from Georgia. Shawn Knight lasted one year. He was picked up by another team his second year, but was cut during training camp.

In all fairness Stanley Jean Baptist was drafted were the experts had him rated. He was supposed tO have been a late 1st or 2ND round draft pick. Everyone was excited when the Saints drafted him. I don't remember anyone saying he was a reach when they dated him.
