Yep. You need a grossly large cup to fit that bust.

Well, if you consider collateral damage, how about Mike Phipps?

The Browns traded HOFer Paul Warfield in his prime to draft a guy who is little more than a footnote in Browns history

Not only was HE a bust, it - pretty much - busted the team for some time.

Rick Mirer??

it was frustrating during those years but the team basically had to be rebuilt. The older guys from the Collier years were retiring.

We had some great picks with Jerry Sherk and Greg Pruitt, and Sipe on the taxi squad...

When I saw Phipps play, I always thought of Bobby Douglas from those crappy Bears teams - he ran most of the time and couldnt throw worth a damn.

definite overreach as a first rounder for sure.. and steep price giving up Warfield.

my bust pick(s) - Ty Detmer , Steve Walsh they actually played awhile too

Reasonable effort, Gip...

Yup... Green Bay, but there were more than 7 rounds back then.
