No doubt, just from the nature of the way things went down with Leaf, I'd have to bump him a good ways up the list.
Also, notice there are quite a few Colts on the list:winker:
Could be...maybe it's just that he's the newest addition. Never let it be said that sportswriters are free from hyperbole. Everytime something happens, it's the "best ever" or "greatest blank", or "worst blankety blank". So it woudl make sense that they have short memories.
I don't think they were in a specific order. Or they may have been counting backwards.
man drafting two busts in entmann and coryatt in successive picks musta sucked.
Joey Harrington on that list at #2 makes the notion that the Titans could use him even more ridiculous.
As soon as I saw this thread, I thought that Couch would be quite high, but he's not even on the list, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah:hmm:Banshee2 said:

They do it in reverse order, they usually save the worst/best ones for the end.
Glad to see the titans/oilers didn't have ANY on there, I saw a ton of Colts and Bengals...

Harrington about Leaf, Klingler, McNown, etc is crazy. He isn't even out of the league yet and could actually rebound in Miami. I would say that is a little premature. Leaf is by far the worst bust of all time, considering that the Chargers gave up a ton to pick him.
