http://www.sportsline.com/nfl/story/10793692 in picking the five, there were several criteria that helped make them bad. They all had high first-round busts, many other first-round misses, star power that doesn't offset those misses and a lack of depth. Each draft was broken down into a series of categories to show the weakness. Adding some rubbing alcohol to the wounds, I've listed some late-round steals in each year to make the first-round busts sting even more. You'll notice the 2000 draft is one of the five drafts I've listed. That first round was littered with failures. You might also notice that there was a late-round steal in that draft. A guy by the name of Tom Brady was drafted in the sixth round of that draft.
its structured really weird, he lists the 2002 draft and mentions top ten busts and goes with Mike Williams and Ryan Sims and then when he mentions the other busts he mentions David Carr and Joey Harrington, who not only where picked before Williams and Sims, but where worse busts due to what they meant for their teams... you'd think an editor would have caught that.
