00:00You're exactly right. We're going to go through the biggest bust in NFL draft history.
00:06So let's start here with number 10. It is a local product.
00:11One, Charles Rogers. He was drafted number two overall for the Detroit Lions in 2003.
00:18And he only had 440 total receiving yards when he was cut in 2006.
00:27Y'all heard me say best player available. This is when best player available goes wrong.
00:32All right. This is well, I took the best player available. I just keep taking receivers every single year.
00:38This this ended tragically, unfortunately, but quite honestly, never looked the part to me.
00:47First of all, the Lions probably never should have drafted him.
00:51He needed to get away from Detroit. And instead, I think they passed on Andre Johnson to take him.
00:58Andre Johnson was selected the next pick.
01:00I think had he gotten away from Detroit, he would have been better.
01:04And the fact that you break your collarbone two years in a row, the first year, the Lions said, no,
01:09no, no.
01:09We're going to let it heal naturally and organically.
01:11And we're going to burn some incense and sage around it.
01:15But then then they finally decided a year later, everyone's going to go ahead and put a pin in that
01:19thing.
01:19By that time, I think his career was over.
01:24But he gave us that great commercial.
01:26Oh, he did. He did.
01:28Rest in peace.
01:28I had so much hope for that guy.
01:30That guy killed my alma mater, Florida.
01:33Absolutely killed him.
01:34Next on the list.
01:35Number nine.
01:37Trey Lance, quarterback.
01:39You're just being hurtful.
01:40Number three overall, San Francisco 49ers in 2021.
01:44True story.
01:45Your team has never recovered from that.
01:48Never recovered.
01:49Didn't they make the Super Bowl?
01:51Did they win the Super Bowl?
01:53They made it.
01:54Why have they not won the Super Bowl?
01:56Well, because Drake Greenlaw got hurt.
01:59Yeah, Drake Greenlaw popped his Achilles.
02:02And if you really want to do this?
02:04Go ahead.
02:05Yeah.
02:05Before Drake Greenlaw popped his Achilles, the Kansas City Chiefs did not cross the 50-yard line.
02:10He pops his Achilles, and all of a sudden, the Chiefs started moving the ball.
02:15He plays.
02:16They win.
02:17They got Brock Purdy.
02:18They kind of forgot about Trey Lance.
02:21But what they didn't forget about are the three first-round picks that they lost that would have made this
02:28roster the OKC version of the NFL.
02:31Yeah.
02:31But you said they never got over it.
02:33They haven't gotten over the loss of talent that they gave up for Trey Lance.
02:37And they bounced it out by taking a seventh-rounder and turning him into one of the top quarterbacks.
02:42Number eight on the list, Kajana Carter.
02:45Wow.
02:46Running back number one overall for the Cincinnati Bengals in 1995.
02:49He had amassed over 1,500 yards and 23 touchdowns, 7.8 yards per carry in college.
02:57Eh.
02:57Then he got 700 rushing yards after that total in four years.
03:02I haven't heard that name in a long time, and I thought he was going to be a beast.
03:07Watching him at Penn State.
03:10Yes.
03:11He was all that.
03:12I don't know if you, you know, the SEC, I know you guys don't pay attention to the Big Ten,
03:18but I thought Kajana Carter was just going to be a beast when he got to the league.
03:23I'll tell you my Kajana Carter, Trent Richardson, could not believe.
03:27That guy could move bulldozers with his thighs.
03:30Yeah.
03:31But what I didn't realize is he had the field of vision of a pinhole, okay, and was averaging three
03:37yards a carry.
03:38So Trent Richardson is my Kajana Carter.
03:41To be fair, Kajana Carter did tear his ACL in his rookie year, or right before his rookie year, and
03:48didn't play, and that changed everything for him.
03:50Yeah, like I said, it was like Charles Rodgers.
03:52Like, you went out early, and you never really recovered from that, and ACL surgery then ain't the same as
03:59ACL surgeries now.
04:00Next on the list, number seven.
04:02So everyone talks about the Green Bay Packers and how they've gone from this quarterback to that, that Brett Starr.
04:08Brett Starr.
04:09I'm sorry.
04:10Brett Favre.
04:11Brett Favre.
04:13Then they went to Aaron Rodgers.
04:15Then they went to Jordan Love.
04:17Well, they had someone before that.
04:201981, they drafted Rich Campbell.
04:23Number six overall.
04:26No one hears about him because he was a bust.
04:29I've never heard of him.
04:30He was from Cal.
04:31No, no, no.
04:31He was from Cal.
04:33Cal, wasn't he David?
04:34Yes, he was.
04:34And yes, he was going to be all that when he got to the league.
04:39He had the pedigree.
04:41He was going to turn his league around.
04:44And I haven't heard his name until just now.
04:46I actually just did.
04:47He was traded for a bag of potato chips.
04:49So that's unfortunate.
04:51Was it sour cream and onion?
04:52It was actually.
04:54Good call.
04:54No, I had to have some cheese.
04:55It's in Green Bay.
04:56It says the coaching staff hated him.
04:59He, in four years, he only appeared in seven games, 386 passing yards,
05:04three touchdowns, nine interceptions.
05:06But we shouldn't just focus on the good things, David.
05:08Good God.
05:09So let me get through the next two here because I want to focus on
05:12completely the top five.
05:14Ryan Leaf was number six, number two overall.
05:16We all know what that draft selection was.
05:18There were people who argued, Peyton Manning or Ryan Leaf.
05:22And I mean, it was like the hottest topic.
05:24Oh, it was.
05:25I remember that.
05:25A lot of people wrong.
05:27Number five on this list is Tony Mandrich.
05:29Okay.
05:29That was the one I was waiting for.
05:31And he's only five on this list.
05:33There's four bigger buffs than Tony Mandrich.
05:36You let me know if you agree with that.
05:37The Green Bay Packers thought if we pick the most badass looking wrestler,
05:42that guy can play football.
05:43Just think about it.
05:44Green Bay passed on Barry Sanders and Deion Sanders.
05:47Oh, dear God.
05:48Number four.
05:49Derek Thomas, too.
05:51Yeah, correct.
05:52Number four.
05:53This better than this.
05:54Akili Smith, quarterback.
05:55Number three overall.
05:56Cincinnati Bengals at 99.
05:58Yeah.
05:59That worse than Tony Mandrich.
06:00I'm sensing the theme with Cincinnati.
06:02That pick Akili Cincinnati for about 10 years.
06:04Okay.
06:05You know what?
06:07No, because Akili Smith had one good.
06:10He is the epitome of one hit wonder.
06:12Yep.
06:12He had one good year.
06:15And it was a year.
06:17And it was like, oh, and he's going to be our guy.
06:19Like, guys, you may want to check the tape and look at what he's done other than that year.
06:24But, yeah, I still will take managers.
06:26Go ahead.
06:27Number three.
06:27Robert Gallery, tackle, left tackle for the Oakland Raiders in 2004.
06:33He may have been the only Iowa tackle, Iowa offensive lineman who stunk.
06:38But he was built in a lab.
06:41You're right.
06:42Like, you looked at him and he was just like, he was just NFL tackle.
06:48And you're from Iowa.
06:49It's like having a Harvard lawyer.
06:52Like, how can you lose?
06:52Do you notice what happens when you take offensive linemen built in a lab?
06:56Mandarich, Gallery, Gio Manu.
06:59Okay.
07:01Not built in a lab.
07:01Number two on this list.
07:04Way before.
07:04Well, not way before my time, but before my time.
07:07In four years, he had three touchdowns, 11 interceptions, just over 1,000 yards passing, 45% completion percentage.
07:14Art Slyster.
07:15Art Slyster.
07:16Hey, be careful.
07:17The first name is Baltimore Colts, 1982.
07:20Yeah, and he had a gambling problem as well.
07:22Oh, boy.
07:24Things didn't go up for him.
07:25Number one.
07:25Can I guess?
07:26Sure.
07:28Has my name in it.
07:30Yes.
07:31Jamarcus Russell.
07:31There you go.
07:32Boom.
07:32Number one.
07:33Could have had Joe Thomas.
07:36Correct.
07:37Could have had Calvin Johnson, the best players at their respective positions ever for their teams.
07:43Yeah.
07:43Instead.
07:48And it talks about how in 04, they messed up, could have had Phillip Rivers, and then in
07:5507, they could have had Joe Thomas.
07:56They could have had a pairing there, but a left tackle protecting your quarterback, but
08:00whatever.
08:00Shout out, Purple Drink.
08:02No, please no.
08:03Shout out, Purple Drink.
08:04That is your NFL Blitz.
