Hall of Famer
Hello PX1!! Tex here! So, When I am on lunch break at work or get a minute here and there, I like to watch this youtube channel called "WatchMoJo". They do a bunch of Top 10 count downs on various things ranging from Music, to sports, to entertainment, to almost everything. I'm not sure why but I like these videos. I came across one the other day, I thought would be a good topic of forum discussion. The video was labeled "Top Ten Ridiculously Bad NFL Draft Picks" and here is the video.
They put together their own top 10 list of NFL draft pick busts, for various reasons and they explain why. I wanted to see if anyone's list would match theirs, or differ. Here is their list.
