1986 - Bo Jackson

One could also argue that Bo was also the best draft pick in 1987 as the 183rd overall pick.

So I fricked up.

And it isn't like the Pro Bowl means much these days.

This deserves an asterisk but Tampa Bay drafted Bo Jackson #1 after he told them he would never play for them because they sabotaged his senior year of baseball. They called his bluff and literally got nothing out of a #1 pick.

Plus it is the Raiders. Before Mendoza last night their last two first round QB picks were Jamarcus Russell and Todd Marinovich. Yuck.

Only reason he's #1 is because of the money. In today's NFL, he would have likely be drafted behind a veteran guy and HOPEFULLY learned some good work habits.

But I personally believe Johnny Football was a bigger bust.

He was drafted #22 overall.

I knew you were an idiot. I didn't know you were fricking retarded.

Russell probably takes it because he went #1 overall in the days before the rookie wage scale.

But in terms of all first round picks, it has to be Isaiah Wilson to the Titans. Picked 27th overall and played 4 career snaps because he was incredibly fat and incredibly stupid.
