Who has been the most dissapointing draft pick from the last 5 years?

Nobody mentions BJ? He was a first round pick at WR!

I think the biggest bust is JJ.

Personally I thought Dennis Johnson would amount to something from the 2002 draft, but that draft as a whole sucked. I think Scobey and Josh are the only ones still in the league, and they'll probably be out next year. 2002 could go down as one of the worst drafts in Cardinals history (Wendell Bryant, LeVar Fisher, Josh McCown, Dennis Johnson, Nate Dwyer, Jason McAddley, Josh Scobey, Mike Banks).


I'm giving Rolle this year before I sign off on the "bust" card. He's never had good NFL coaching. The man can tackle, but CBs need to get picks and passes defended to be good. This year he has no excuses.

I am pretty sure Grammatica was drafted the same year as Leonard Davis.

As for the biggest draft bust, Arrington. He was a 2nd rounder, was counted on to be a starter and forced the team to sign Edge due to his repulsive play. Denny had it right when he said we shouldn't have had to sign edge when we invested a 2nd rounder in a RB.




PROVE ME WRONG, JJ!

I think Rolle will do much better this year with the new coaching staff. Since the poll does not want to include Bryant my vote would also go to JJ. However after seeing what Thomas Jones did when he went to da Bears it may still be our OL instead of JJ. It still seems he is missing something in the toughness department.

For the record, Wendall wins, but if he isn't in it then Rolle has to get it. As a top ten pick being ok is completely unacceptable. If he isn't one of the top 5 at his position he is a bust, plain and simple. The bottom line is that we wasted more money on him than JJ. Furthermore, considering that Edge is probably a HOF back, JJ's stats weren't much worse, when running behind the same line. I know that wont be a popular statement, but its the truth.

To his credit, he gets lots of passes defended when he drops INTs.

I wish half of the Cards first round picks in the last 25 years had been at "ok." :)

I don't dwell on the past. It is no longer relevant.

Must make it easy to be a Cards fan for you then. I wonder about "what ifs" all the time.

*edit for Must
