He wasn't a bad player .... good name in Bubba, too!

... which brings to mind ... a list of players we could have gotten with the very next pick or two that went on to become all pros....

Hey Smash, the worst case of this that I can remember is when Bum Phillips took George Rogers and passed on Lawrence Taylor who the Giants took with the very next pick. His reason: if we have Taylor on one side of the field, the offence would just run to the other side. Buddy D's answer to that was "Well, coach, then you would only have to worry about one side of the field instead of both".

We did make up for it somewhat by taking Rickey Jackson in the 2nd round. I can only imagine what our defense would have been like with both Taylor and Jackson playing together.

That would've been unreal .... both turned out to be quality citizens ... BTW ....

That's a start for the full eleven ... we need to field an entire team ...

My vote is Richard Todd. He was suppose to be the answer and it turned out very bad. This dude was about as awful as it gets once he put that Saints uniform on.

I'd vote Alex Molden before Fred Thomas. Fred actually had a few good seasons before he petered out.

Jonathan Sullivan, what a waste of great talent or Donte Stallworthless.

Yea Fred has a few pretty good years and actually played pretty well in a cast. He just played 2 too many years.

He's not the all time worst Saint by a long shot.
