That's what happens when a coach is enamored with blazing speed on a receiver or corner. Same thing happens when scouts fall in love with a quarterback because they have a big arm. It's human nature to favor certain aspects of a person over another. Often times it clouds your judgement and leads to poor picks.

Pretty much all of the #1 draft picks overall the Browns have had, all were busts.

Art Schlicter is the biggest waste of talent I've ever heard of. I didn't watch him back then obviously since I'm 17 but I've seen some of the games he played... that dude was a freaking beast.

Cedric Jones had one eye and we drafted him 5th overall.

Not good.

Seems like Ryan Leaf is the poster boy for draft busts.

The Klingler one is the worst IMO, because Andre Ware had already proven to be a bust, yet the Bengals rolled the dice with Klingler.

His nickname was "Candlelight" lol - just the slightest blow would knock him out.

That's what happens when the debate prior to the '98 draft was over Peyton Manning or Ryan Leaf. Bill Polian knew Manning was a winner when Peyton told him "Look, I'd like to play here for you, but, if you don't draft me, everytime you play against me I am going to kick your ass."

Polian said he knew Peyton was a winner after that comment and there was no doubt who they would draft.

When you take a QB that high and he bombs out, it fucks up your franchise for years. Fortunately for SD, they recovered and got a real QB in Rivers.

Your are absolutely correct. You can not get it wrong at the quarterback position.

Big Ben has two rings...Eli has one...Rivers has a chance to win one....Ryan & Flacco were solid in their rookie seasons....the book is still out on Vince Young....can Sanchez win the Jets starting job? It's such a crap shoot with young QBs, man. Funny thing is, I was furious that the Giants traded to draft Eli. I wanted them to keep the pick and draft Robert Gallery(our o-line was shit at that time) or Big Ben. So much for my theory.

The dude that really fascinates me is Tim Tebow. Can he do it at the next level?
