A decade of misses with the first round pick

#21

Quote:Which 1st round pick from above (because obivously it did get better prior to 2003) would you say is the best and which was the worst?

 
 

Based on what was known at the time, I'd say Leftwich and Monroe were the best picks, because they were 'steals' at the time. Leftwich was playing well and improving up until his injury. Monroe was better than the seven players picked ahead of him. Williams and Alualu were the worst. They were big, unnecessary reaches.


 

In hindsight, I'd say Gabbert was the worst pick. The Harvey pick was a mistake, but at least the trade value to get up to #8 was good. The Jags got to keep their 2nd round pick that year (which they unfortunately also wasted). Gabbert cost two top picks, and got JDR fired and Mularkey hired. And he was the only one who I'd consider lacked the talent to play in the NFL.
