New Orleans Saints Hall of Shame: Worst breakup and more

Ricky Williams worst draft pick? I mean seriously, nothing can be worse than using a 1st round, 11th overall pick on Russell Erxleben...

Ricky did produce and so did Erxleben. While I agree spending a number 1 for a kicker is not advisable, the Raiders did OK with their #1 draft pick special teamer.

Sully has to be the worst since he cost us two number 1s.

I am glad we have Jeff Ireland now. Hope he never leaves us.

OK, I have to ask, what did Erxleben do? He was a failed kicker and a very below average punter?

He had a cool name. Not as cool as Guido Merkens, of course, but still cool.

Agreed not worthy of a Number 1 pick ... but he was not a Jonathan Sullivan. He'd be an UDFA today.
