No, sir, I think the winner, or loser, of that award would be Heath Shuler. He flat out stank. Sucked. Sucked for two franchises.

Trent R is my answer
He had a hof career and traded it for a cheeseburger and large fries.

He bragged about being the back up QB. He called themselves the Dream Teams.

Heath Shuler’s career stats— 3691 yds and 15 TDs. Looks like OP’s thread backfired.

Didn’t Trent Richardson cost multiple teams, their first round picks?

Actually Lane didn't want JaMarcus. Al Davis made him take JR at #1.

Tim Couch - 1st overall
Got the Browns into the playoffs something no one else has done since 2002. Career ended with injury because the Browns had a shitty offensive line.
Also how can you leave Football Johny off of there?

Vince Young is 30-17 as a starter.
Nowhere near the Hall of Fame obviously, but a lot of guys have stunk worse than him.

Just went with top 5 picks. If we are going all the way to where Manziel was drafted the draft bust list would be huge.
Rex Grossman, Paxton Lynch, Brady Quinn, Kyle Boller, EJ Manuel, all picked in that range. QB busts in the 10 to 25 range are a dime a dozen
Although I did forget to add Joey Harrington

Russell is the worst #1 overall pick in NFL history. Shuler and Jhonny Football were drafted 3 and twenty something overall. They can't be bigger busts. Leaf was 2. Akili Smith was 3.
The letdown who was chosen over literally everyone else is always going to be the biggest bust.

I don’t think Couch was a bust. Jamarcus Russell was a huge bust. Like Charles Rodgers, Ryan Leaf, Tony Mandarich.
Posted on 10/30/19 at 9:43 am to VolsOut4Harambe
yes and yes.

I don’t know... the bust on your mom’s back was pretty big.

Nope, that goes to Johnny Manziel
I’m not sure. I think many people thought Johnny’s football would not translate to the NFL and would flame out quickly. He was a serious reach during the draft.
Jamarcus on the other hand had ALL the physical attributes to be a star. As big a fan I was if him at LSU, he was the bigger bust in the NFL. No reason he should not have been successful
Posted on 10/30/19 at 10:15 am to VolsOut4Harambe
Yes, along with Ryan Leaf and New Coke.

Odd troll.
Jamarcus swaggered into Knoxville in 2006 and ripped your hearts out.

Leaf was thought of as can't miss and would have been drafted ahead of Manning by a few teams so I put him ahead. Russell falls no lower than 2 on NFL all time draft busts.
Russell was the first overall pick, Leaf wasnt. They both played in three season but Russell played more games. Russell had the better stats but got worse as his career went along, Leaf actually got better. IDK. Nod to Russell because he was the first pick
