I read this on yahoo and thought it was pretty cool.

Posted this in here instead of the NFL forum so it would get more discussion.

where is Heath?

I am surprised Heath isn't on the list of the Worst all-time first round draft picks. He got a mention for #3, but Akili Smith took that honor.

as much as it makes me what to throw up, I would say tom Brady is the best pick of all time. considering the rings, he's clutch and where he was picked. Yep just threw up on my key pad.

I think many times it's not the players fault as much as it's the system their drafted into.

I lived in DC when all that was going on. Shuler absolutely killed his whole career by holding out. The fans turned on the Greedy Millionaire Holdout Boy in favor of 7th-round pick Gus Frerotte; both of them were terrible under Norv Turner, but obviously Shuler being terrible was unforgivable. The Redskins dumped him, he got hurt in New Orleans, and he was done.

I don't know if he could have had much success in a different situation, but that whole situation was a train wreck. If there was ever a guy who needed to hold a clipboard for a few years, it was him.
