Worst Pick in the First Round

yodapoop · 04-26-2009, 12:03 AM

Alright its really not a question for my opinion, but there was a best pick in the first round thread, I thought maybe we should have the worst. And my vote would go to Haywerd-Bey of the Raiders. He may become a solid pro (prolly not though), but defntly not a guy to pick over Crabtree IMO. Discuss dynamically!

SINCE SO MANY OF THE EARLY RESPONDERS SAID D-H-B. HE IS NO LONGER AN OPTION, WORST PICK BESIDES D-H-B.

Troy Willia.... I mean Darrius Heyward-Bey.

How about giving up a first round pick for Alphonso Smith? That was the single worst move, IMO.

As for picks. I can live with the Raiders taking DHB. They needed a receiver and DHB will definitely stretch the defense. If they viewed him as a better prospect than Maclin, I can't blame them.

I'd probably say it was Clay Matthews, just because I am not very bullish on him and they gave up quite a bit. Still, with Raji it wasn't a bad day, just more than I would have given up.

Menardo75 · 04-26-2009, 12:08 AM

I am pretty sure we can all come to an agreement on DHB.

meh...smith might be the worst trade, but he is a good player. I would rather not have given up a first rounder next year, but it's like we had 3 1st rounders this year.

still not super high on the move

gotta give worst move to the raiders, not for picking DHB, but passing on Crabs for DHB.

You know, I never really thought they were the same, but if you notice......... both drafted seventh overall. Coincidence?

And that 7th pick the Vikings got from the Raiders... hmm...

Hurricanes25 · 04-26-2009, 12:11 AM

DHB and it should be unanimous.

Denver gave up their 2010 1st round pick, correct? Not Chicago's, right? That makes it worse.

The Broncos are not making the playoffs and could be really bad with Orton at QB and Marshall suspended.

Orton's really no worse than Cassel and Marshall's missing what, two games? I don't think they're a playoff team but a 7-9ish record is possible in that abortion of a division.

Yes, he is worse than Cassel and will prove it soon enough.

TitanHope · 04-26-2009, 12:14 AM

There needs to be a "No DHB" rule.

Maybe go Redskins if they're truly gonna put Orakpo at 4-3 OLB, even if he was of great value.

Chargers reached with Larry English, and Kansas City reached with Ty Jax.

Dunno if Tampa Bay trading up for Freeman was a good idea either.

teneight · 04-26-2009, 12:15 AM

I cant wait to see DHB shut everyone up...along with Michael mitchell, that guy is a effing beast at safety.

i wanted him really really bad. i thought we were gonna get him in the 3rd..but ill take him either way, as long as we landed him, i would be happy.

Marshall isn't suspended? Goodell would have acted on it by now. It's been like 3 months. Orton is not a bad QB by any means and fits good in the system. The O line is great in some parts (tackle) and aging at others(the middle). Orton, Clady, Ryan Harris, Marshall, Royal, Graham, Hillis and Moreno. That's a pretty good offensive group.

And on defense added guys like Dawkins and Hill in FA. Add in a versatile Ayers and Alphonso smith and they are improved even more. Not good yet, but better than 29th.

I agree, I will now make that rule! Ummmm, I would maybe have to go with Peddigrew, he may be a great TE, but that was a perfect situation I thought for the Lions to get a tackle to protect their new franchise. I woulda gone Oher.

With that rule in place, the worst pick was Larry English. Huge reach.

Crickett · 04-26-2009, 12:20 AM

I'm going to say Tyson Jackson third overall.

I agree but I guess I could talk myself into Pettigrew if you look at him as a second left tackle and a decent weapon (and red zone threat) for Stafford.

Just hope he doesn't turn into Kyle Brady.

Really?

Randy Moss, Wes Welker and the Patriots Oline/Scheme vs Matt Forte and the genius that is ron turner.
