Lol. I would've thrown Peter Warrick and David Terrell in there.

Eh...600 yd per year on average in 5 seasons and was a 1st round pick?

Unless he goes into the Heyward-Bey "he shouldn't have been drafted that high so he's not a bust" logic, I don't know if anyone expects just 3100 career yds out of a 1st rounder entering his 6th season?

Lest I forget Reggie Brown. He was a 1st Rd bust, and the Eagles couldn't even get a late round draft pick out of him when trying to make room for Michael Vick last season.

Charles Rogers and the IMMORTAL Mike Williams.

Detroit should stay away from wide recievers.

Talk about a "system" WR! He had amazing numbers at LaTech, I never thought he should have been a 1st Round pick but I thought he would have been a solid slot WR. If he was coming into the league today I'd actually compare him to Wes Welker.

Thing is, he would have been a very good scat back. He was more quick than fast, but he could really make moves in the open field. Another guy who just played out of position.

Poor Kordell. For all his failings as a passer, he was never helped by the players around him. A TE and HB who were useless in the passing game (Bruener/Bettis) a short WR corps with no speed (Courtney Hawkins, Troy Edwards, Will Blackwell) and 2 idiot offensive coordinators who had no idea what to do with him (Ray Sherman, Kevin Gilbride).

Talk about hot garbage. I remember it fondly.
