So, Stanley Jean Baptist comes from the 2nd round (leading LSU homer WR Landry) to win it all...at the tape Then there's LB Fortt in the 4th, OT Took in the 6th (same year)...ugh. And those scouting them took years to get themselves fired. Love where we are now! |

Sully here. I remember Hasslet saying he picked him because he had a “nastiness” he brought to the table. Instead he just ate everything on the table.

We used the 11th pick in the draft on a kicker!!! I still remember Cowboy fans laughing at us.

Ricky was not a bust. When you rush for 250 yds in a game and still lose the problems go way deeper than RB. So many games mismanaged. We were still winning 6-7 games with him. He was a good RB on a horrible team.

I’ll go further back 1987 DE Shawn knight #1 pick 11th overall. Only played a year I believe , Davenport drafted in similar spot is all world compared to him

Re: Saints worst draft bust of all-time?
I don't even think the kicker was a bust. No kicker should ever be drafted that high. Dumbest pick of all time, sure. Probably the dumbest pick ever in the NFL.
