How in the hell does a guy like Justin Gilbert not make this list? Goes top 10, outta the league after like 3 years.
Of all of the horrible Browns picks of 2010-2016, he was the worst. I can't think of a single thing he contributed whatsoever, and he went ahead of guys like ODB, Aaron Donald, Anthony Barr, Shazier, Zack Martin, CJ Mosely, etc.

Philip Dorsett has a Super Bowl Ring.

No Saints, Seahawks or Falcons???
To be fair the Seahawks haven't had many first rounds per say. Like to trade them away.:gaah:

Really....

I thought he was 2011 or 2012. Then where is James Carpenter
Can't help you on that one, though I think these guys took the easy way out and stuck with mostly top 15 picks.

Curry would have been a good pick if it included 2009, though. I remember thinking he was the best player and surest bet, and Seattle seemed like a great fit. Shame it didn't work.

Carpenter got a fat contract after his rookie contract, played for several years as a starter after leaving the Seahawks.

No argument about Datone Jones but I disagree about Sherrod. When he broke his leg it spintered and he could never come back. However it was too early to tell if he would have panned out.

Some names here that shouldn't be there. Also Aaron Curry not being on the list is a ? omission IMO.

I'll vouch for Ponder and Treadwell on behalf of Vikings fans.

Christian Ponder, I honestly feel kind of bad for. He was a complete class act all around, and contributed to the community in the Twin Cities despite fans being dicks to him. The thing is, he was never graded as anything beyond a 2nd round project QB prospect, but the Vikes panicked and took him at #12 overall when all of their favorite QB's were off the board. He might have actually succeeded as a solid backup, or maybe even eventual journeyman starter type had he been picked by a decent team in round 2 like he was meant to be. Instead, they picked him up with an ancient McNabb for a mentor, and rushed him in expecting him to turn into Peyton Manning on dogshiit offense. Terrible move and handling by the Vikes all around. Ponder had no business seeing the field in regular season game until his 3rd season.

2. Treadwell - Dude has been a bigger bust than Troy Williamson, who was drafted to replace Randy Moss, if you can believe it. He's slow, has butter fingers, and craps the bed hard on half of the 2-4 chances he gets at making a legit play every season. They purposelly favored him over superior prospects and veterans in 2018 hoping he'd do something to justify the pick, and he pooped his pants hard. His success rates at an undrafted FA rookie pickup level, nowhere near a 1st rounder. Ruined his own career by worrying more about running the stairs every night at camps when Coach Zimmer was telling him to watch film and work on his techniques/fundamentals.


Honorable mention: Matt Khalil - LT taken 4th overall who would have gone 3rd overall to the Vikes had they not traded down with Cleveland. Was the highest rated O-lineman coming out of college in a decade or something. Had a very promising rookie season, then proceeded to promptly get injured half the time and suck asss when he was healthy afterwards.

Another comprehensive list which excludes the Panthers. Frankly, I am getting tired of my team being overlooked

Could you imagine if you guys were smart and took Mike Thomas instead of Treadwell and paired him up with Diggs and Thielen?
