A trip down memory lane. Duncan is interesting as drafting him resulted in a major NFL rule change. Dollar Bill was so cheap he gave Boone a number and told him to find a player that would accept the number. Duncan was a likely round 2 selection and never showed he could play in the NFL. The NFL subsequently blocked all pre-draft negotiation except for the first pick. Picking Wadsworth as a bust just shows a lack of knowledge. His medicals made him look a little risky at the combine. He did have knee issues at FSU, but mostly played through them. He played well in his rookie year, despite missing all of training camp in one of the Cardinals' many salary disputes. Late in the season, maybe the NO game, the Cards were short DTs. They ask Wadsworth to move inside and he played a great game. However his knees seemed to really suffer. He finished the season including the playoffs, but never recovered. He wanted to play and had micro fracture surgery on both knees. In 2007 he attempted a comeback, but got cut.
I'll vote for Bryant as the worst number one. His mom seemed to make his decisions which is never a good thing in the NFL.
That's good stuff Harry, well bad stuff but good to get some inside info.
I agree with everyone who said Bryant was the biggest bust. We could have taken Jeremy Shockey or Albert Haynesworth or Ed Reed.
