The worst picks for every team in the last five years
-
But for our ACTUAL first round pick, it has to be. Courtney Brown. The lamest, unmotivated, worthless, piece of garbage EVER

For a #1 over all, agreed. Forgot who on the Broncos called him "soft".

Yeah... Kellen couldn't stay healthy. There was that whole "warrior" thing rant, but at its root was passion, so a partial pass on that.
Same with Brown... injury-related is a special subset of worst. Solid rookie year... only full season he was on the field.
Junkin? Injuries, but also a healthy dose of "not very good".

The good thing about Powell is that he was a Bill Belichick special, but he was drafted like the year before his contract was assigned to the Baltimore Ravens franchise. So, we were spared the full extent of his suckage.

Brown had 4.5 sacks those first 5 games of his second year before the injury. Say what anyone will, but that tells me he was beginning to live up to the pick.

There's no doubt in my mind that if Brown was healthy he would've be AT LEAST a "solid" player, but I'd guess he would've been closer to "damn good". Obviously no way to know, and it's his awful luck (and ours), but life goes on. God that pick really hurt us.

Even completely busting on high picks won't doom you forever (I hope). The Bengals flamed out on Ki-Jana Carter and Akilli Smith, until they figured out how to properly assess talent. And regarding the Cincinnati Kitties, I fully expect them to reside in the AFC North basement this year- penny pincher Mike Browns couldn't open the wallet (as usual) to keep Witworth and Zeitler. Dalton had better up his life insurance before the season, because their o-line in general has guys you never heard of

That Winslow rant was epic.

The same for Couch. He WAS a solid QB in my opinion, until he got hurt. I mean he "took" (if you attribute things to a QB) the Browns from no playing personell to the playoffs in 4 years. Then rotator cuff and that other shoulder problem did him in.

Yeah, he does rate a horrible bust. Especially considering we moved up from 7 to 6 to take this turd, and the Steelers took Big Ben 5 picks later He NEVER "MADE" THE PRO BOWL...... He was selected as an alternate. Antonio Gates sat out due to injury and Winslow got the Putney Swope vote.
Also, he didn't call himself a warroir, after his block on a sweep took out 2 TN Volunteer players, he called himself a "fucking soldier".
Winslow was a garbage pick.
He wasn't the biggest garbage pick since 1999 by far. He did have that one decent season. Trent Richardson had an almost decent rookie year, and at least we suckered the Colts into giving us a first round pick for him (which we blew on Johnny Manziel). Justin Gilbert completely stunk from the get-go, and the amount of talent we passed on to get this stiff is staggering. I'd have to put him #2 behind Mike Junkin in non-contributions as a first round pick..
BTW, if your standard is what we could have done, instead did do. Cameron Wimbley or Haloti Ngata? Far worse was Braylon "Butterfingers" Edwards. It was known he had bad hands in college- he would rank way up there on your stinko scale too, because a bunch of picks lower Aaron Rodgers was sitting there.
