Since 2003 who has been the most dissapointing draft pick the Cardinals have had:

Here are some of my canidates.

2003: Actually was better than I thought. The trade down still hurts, tho.

- Calvin Pace

2004:

- Alex Stepanovich

2005:

- Arrington, Blackstock, Elton Brown, Lance Mitchell

2006:

- Brandon Johnson


I still go with Elton Brown. With Brandon "Who is he?" Johnson a close second.

Never doubt Mitch. EVER.

That's the first name that came to my mind also...

but Wendell was the 1st round pick in 2002, therefore out of the scope of Rugby's initial post.

However, Bryant was such a BUST! that he still gets my vote. :cool:

That is why I cut it off at that date, since Bryant would have been unanimous, imo.

2007 - 5 = 2002

Wendell Bryant then Arrington and then Rolle.

I think, technically, they were looking at 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004 and 2003 for the 5 years...but, can you really include 2007, since they haven't taken the field yet? In that case, it should be the draft classes of 2002-2006...

Wendell Bryant in a landslide.

Yes, that is what I meant, but who cares. Add 2002 if you want but it makes the thread less interesting.

The point I was looking to make is that Denny and his pie brought some talent in, but he also brought in some serious losers.

It is one thing to bring in guys that play and then you find out they suck.

But some of the guys Denny brought in never sniffed the field which is infruriating.

There could be other reasons, aside from talent, that some of these players haven't been on the field...Denny and his ego may have gotten in the way some, too.

You just explained why Rolle has to be atleast #3 on that list. He was the 8th overall selection!!!! "Not that bad" doesn't cut it for anyone picked before the third round IMO.

Doesn't work that way. 2002 would be '0', not a year you count.

5-5=0
2007-5=2002.

Counting numbers.. 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007. (5)



In that case, I vote for Levi Brown. He couldn't beat out Oliver Ross or Wayne Gandy fer cryin' out loud!

has to be Rolle based on his draft position and labeled the best corner coming out of the draft.
