Vernon Butler and Armanti Edwards are the first to come to mind. I’m sure there are others equally deserving but my memory ain’t what it used to be. 

and I definitely wouldn’t say Otah. He was a beast the one year, then he got hurt. It happens. 

Edwards is just one of those picks you can never forget.

Jeff Otah has to be on that list.

Vernon Butler never gets mentioned, but is definitely Top3

Jimmy Clausen and Armanti Edwards should tie for 3rd. 

Hey how bout Eric Shelton?

 

Edit, he was well covered on page 2.

Otah's career wasn't "derailed by injuries".

He got the same typical bumps and bruises that EVERY player gets, then used it as an excuse to kick his feet up and do nothing for months on end. He wouldn't play through the pain or put any effort into rehab. His heart just wasn't in football. All of this was already well documented before we traded a truckload of picks to move up to get him.

I still remember that he had a minor injury at the very beginning of training camp that was suppose to sideline him for about 2 weeks, but should be ready to go by preseason games at the latest. But he didn't even try to rehab or come back, ended up on IR and missed the entire season (LOL)

2000 Rashard Anderson 1st round drug addict

2005 Eric Shelton RB Florida State.  The guy never saw the field.  Terrible pick in the 2nd Round

2007 Dewayne Jarrett WR USC was supposed to be a Keyshawn Clone more like a Keyshawn Clown

2010 Armanti Edwards QB/WR another pick that was such a waste

2019 Greg Little was supposed to be our answer at LT turned out to be worse than Mike Remmers

IMO, the guys who busted largely due to injury are in a different group than the guys who busted because they just outright sucked.

Mentioned elsewhere today, durability at the pro level is damn near impossible to predict.

Dan Morgan is, of course, the prime example of that.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
