When I first clicked on this thread I thought it was going to be about the Chicago Cubs!
Alright now... Pump your brakes.

Damn. That's cold blooded man.
I voted Ryan Leaf, but how about Tony Mandrich. He was supposed to be an All-Pro for the next 15 years but ended up looking like a bull fighter just letting DE's blow by him on the way to the QB.
It's hard to put any baseball player on the list. There are so many things that can go wrong. A pitcher blows out his arm or never developed another pitch to set up his fastball. A position player never adapts to using a wooden bat or can't hit a big league bender. There is a big difference between High School or even College ball and pro ball, even at the low minors level. A lot of #1 picks never even sniffed the big leagues.

I can understand the Leaf argument totally, but I can't believe that Bowie has not garnered more votes. The man was selected right before the greatest player in that sport's history. Bowie's middle name should have been injury. Jordan just went on to rewrite NBA record books. Oh btw...he won six championships. I'm not even a Jordan fan, but Bowie has to be the biggest bust.

Unless you consider rape a sport. :thumbsup:
Ryan Leaf gets my vote, although Akili Smith and Russell are both very close. Maybe Matt Leinart too.
Glad to see someone sees the same thing I do in regards to Mr. Leinart. I hope I am wrong though.
Same here. I feel like 2010 is definitely the guy's last chance, but I hope he makes something of it. Otherwise, I think he'll be remembered as a bust.
Russell aka Super Bust.He was the #1st pick by the Raiders in the draft of 2007,he spent 3 years now he is released.Because, he was the last to go in training & the first who leaves the training.
No way is Leinhart a bust yet. He didn't play great as a rookie, and lost his starting job to a future hall of famer QB who played some of the best football of his career. Who did Jamarcus Russell lose his job to? Bruce Gradkowski? And Ryan Leaf? Jim Harbaugh. :1orglaugh Plus he was selected 10th overall. Even if Leinhart ended up as a backup for the rest of his career, he still isn't anywhere near the bust level of Russell and Leaf.
Exactly. They passed on the greatest player of all time. The most recognizable athlete on the planet. Because they needed a big man? Haha. And you would think they would learn their lesson the next time they get a high draft pick. But no. They drafted Greg Oden. He'll be a bust too when Oklahoma is owning the Western Conference and whooping Portlands ass in the playoffs year in year out.
Andre Wadsworth. The guy was a monster defensive linemen at Florida State. Was probably the best prospect going into the 1998 NFL draft, ahead of Ryan Leaf and Peyton Manning.
Yeah that was my first thought to. :thumbsup:
As it should have been all of yours! What are you, homosexuals or something?
