Re: This Day in History Ditka trades eight picks to draft Ricky Williams in 99
The 99 draft was just an awful year overall for the draft. None of the picks we gave up did squat anyway. 1st round was ok but rest of it was a barren desert for talent. Crazy move but not sure it set us back years. We could not land a decent QB or any other decent FA's. Nobody wanted to play here.

If Ricky would've become the player everyone thought he would be then we would be talking a totally different story but Ditka screw the pooch on this one and it's probably the worst trade in history!

If we could have got Flute...meh...Ditka could not lure him. We needed him to attract good FA's. I knew without a proven QB we were dead in the water.

"The closest NFL team to us was over 2000 miles away in another state so we felt no loyalty for that team."
I live in Shreveport, Louisiana so I know how you feel! |
