Pete Prisco of CBSSportsline.com ranks the five worst NFL drafts of all time.
2002
Top 10 busts: T Mike Williams (4), Bills; DT Ryan Sims (6), Chiefs.
Other first-round disappointments: QB David Carr (1), Texans; QB Joey Harrington (3), Lions; DT Wendell Bryant (12), Cardinals; RB William Green (16), Browns; CB Mike Rumph (27), 49ers; QB Patrick Ramsey (32), Redskins.
Possible Hall of Fame players: DE Dwight Freeney (11), Colts; S Ed Reed (24), Ravens.
Second-round hits: C Andre Gurode (37), Cowboys; RB Clinton Portis (51), Broncos; WR Deion Branch (65), Patriots.
Late-round steals: RB Chester Taylor (sixth), Ravens; G Justin Hartwig (sixth), Titans; QB/WR Ronald Curry (seventh), Raiders; DE Raheem Brock (seventh), Eagles; DE Brett Keisel (seventh), Steelers; T Kevin Shaffer (seventh), Falcons; T Kyle Kosier (seventh), 49ers.
The skinny: There were a lot of big misses in the first round, with three of the first four picks now considered major disappointments. Carr and Harrington were big misses for franchises that needed to build their teams around them. There were some good players in that first round, players like Panthers defensive end Julius Peppers, Freeney and Titans defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth, but not enough to offset the misses. The later rounds did produce some nice finds.
Wow, the top 10 in the 2002 draft was rough.
