The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly: Worst NFL Draft Picks in History

It’s always fun to analyze the worst NFL draft picks in history and see how fans react. Are they just crying over spilled milk or genuinely furious? Let’s dive in!

Summary

  • The 1999 Bengals draft with Akili Smith stands out as a major disappointment.
  • Google the Idzik 12 for possibly the worst single-team draft ever.
  • The Bills’ 2010 class had some promising players but ultimately fell short.
  • Past few Raiders drafts have left fans shaking their heads at the picks.

Disaster Strikes

One user lamented their team’s 1975 draft where only one player made the roster, contributing a measly 38 rushing yards and a TD before retiring. Now that’s a colossal flop, even by draft standards!

Modern-Day Mayhem

Another user, Exciting-Value-1459, highlighted the Jets’ monumental failure with the Idzik 12, featuring 11 out-of-league picks and one jaw-breaking incident. Ouch!

No Hope for the Newbies

Healthy-Speech-7728 mentioned a recent 2020 draft with zero draftees making it past their rookie contracts. It’s hard to recover from such a setback in the talent pool.

Jacky962 painted a bleak picture of the 2020 Raiders draft class with underperforming picks like Ruggs, Arnette, and Bowden Jr. – a series of missteps indeed!

Insult to Injury

OneFingerIn weighed in on a two-decade stretch of disappointing drafts from 1999 to 2020, showing that bad picks can haunt a team for years on end.

Despite the disappointments, fans continue to support their teams, hoping for better picks in the future.
