Terrible selection for the Bills. I mean, I know there are countless examples to comb through, but Mike Williams??
JP Losman all the way.
have to agree with you, also I believe you raped a team when you traded Tebow didn't you? Who did you guys draft with the pick(s) you got for him?I would have to disagree with the Broncos pick. Tebow at least provided a bit of a spark to the team and the fanbase after some terrible years. Yeah he wasn't a great player but us making the playoffs during the Tebow year at least got us noticed enough by Manning for him to sign with the Broncos.
To me our worst pick was Jarvis Moss. He hadn't done a whole lot in college and then had one outstanding game that helped sky rocket him into the 1st round. Unfortunately we were the team that fell for the hype.

I'll never stop hating Dre Bly!I still drool over his college highlight videos.... what might have been
The pick: QB Giovanni Carmazzi, No. 65 overall in 2000
The miss: QB Tom Brady, No. 199 overall to Patriots
There were six quarterbacks taken before Brady in the 2000 draft before New England pulled the trigger in the sixth round. While every team passed and didn’t have any idea that Brady would turn into maybe the greatest quarterback of all time with his four Super Bowl rings, this move by the Niners looks most embarrassing. Brady, a Bay Area native who worshipped Joe Montana, should have gotten a chance from San Francisco as an underrated prospect from Michigan. Instead, the team went for a kid from that QB hotbed, Hofstra.
I never bothered with thinking about Brady as a bad draft move. Nobody that I have ever known could tell me he would be what he has become.

think you guys are missing the point........the article isnt the worst draft pick ever, its the worst draft pick the team made when they passed up other positions of need. Who else could they have got that they needed that year, what great player did they pass up that they actually neededTerrible selection for the Bills. I mean, I know there are countless examples to comb through, but Mike Williams??

once again its not the worst pick you ever madeYeah tebow was bad because it was such a reach. But got to agree not the worst. And if QB was need who else was available there? Kafka, Colt McCoy, Skelton, Claussen, Joe Webb... They got the 2nd best QB in that draft.
Ayers finally playing decent, but Clay Matthews went soon after.
Jarvis Moss was horrible, no upper body strength there.
But the years for Moss, Nash, etc where they went bad the choices at that position behind weren't all studs...
I'll throw out Ted Gregory. Said he was 6'1" but was really short, blew out his knee in college and Broncos never checked it and it went out in camp. They bought damaged goods, traded him off and he never played a down for Denver. Because of that one they decided to start meeting picks that they were going to take before the draft lol..

there he gets its!, taking a player when alshon was on the board, thats the point, the panthers needed a wr, and took somone else woefulThe Panthers recently took Amini Silatolu when Alshon Jeffery was still on the board. Also, one year Gurney went spray-n-pray with QB's and drafted 3 (Jimmy Claussen, Armanti Edwards, Tony Pike). Just remembering this makes me thankful for having Gettleman now.
once again its not the worst pick you ever made
Moss is just such a bad pick in he wasn't that great of a college player either. He had the one outstanding game that got everybody talking but not really much else. He had some decent speed but like you said his upper body was terrible. It was the one time I feel like the Broncos fell in love with a combine freak rather than what they show on tape.
You are right though the DE position that year was bout as bad as can be so not really another guy taken at the same position that did any better after he was picked. It is more who was picked after him almost every pick after that in the 1st round did so much more than him. I mean Brady Quinn busted and Craig Davis as well but I would take any other pick made in the 1st round beyond Moss and the Broncos would have been a better team.
I wasn't surprised to see a lot of 83' references with Dan Marino connected to them.
