Dumbest pick in NFL draft history

I think "unnamed NFL GM" is often just a cover to give more credibility to a writer's own opinion.
it's nearly impossible for the dumbest pick ever not to belong to the raiders
Really? Apparently, they forgot about Ryan Leaf, Johnny football and 100's of other more costly picks that went nowhere. This one is going to pay dividends, big time.
Tebow in first round is the worst. You draft a qb that can't physically throw a ball. Atleast Aguayo will be successful.
They prob sdaid the same crap when the polish powder keg was drafted but i bet they would say now it was one of the raiders greatest picks.
Bucs once used a 2nd round pick to select Booker Reese from Bethune Cookman. This isn't even remotely as bad as that one. Look him up.
I just can not understand how you can call and guaranteed starter and contributor the worst pick in NFL history.... It baffles me.. Some 2nd rounders don't even see the field shoot some 1st rounders are complete bust and are off the roster after 2 seasons. just dumb to call a kicker that will play for 10+ years the worst draft pick in history, and I havent even brought up his skill set and accuracy lol

I would rather have Aguayo in the second than Goff or Wentz with 1 or 2. So, no, in my mind that was not even the worst pick in this draft much less in the history of the draft. Carson Wentz's stats are pretty pedestrian and that was with a roster full of FBS quality players against FCS defenses every week.
That said, trading into the second round to get him was probably not a good decision.

Probably the reason Gm's may make those statements are because their mad or upset because they didn't draft him that high. They need to worry about their team instead someone else's; just ask Bobby Bowden about a kicker, we would have beat Miami if we had a good kicker; this is over hype by Gm's, Go Noles!
I can give you about 5 from the Jags alone that's worst than the Bucs taking Robeeto
Lol this is ridiculous. He's likely going to play for a decade or more ... A 2nd rounder. There are so many reaches in the first round history it's incredible.
Absurd to call this the worst.

The pick of Ryan Leaf or Heath Shuler or Tim Couch seems dumber to me. Heck just pick one from the attached list below.

The value of the kicker has gone way up now that extra points are 30 yards. They might have overpaid but it honestly tells me that the organization is building quality depth in all positions.
That wasn't the question.. Gabbert was drafted were he was supposed to. If the question was biggest bust, he's in the that. The question was dumbest draft pick and drafting a guy like Tebow because of pure intangibles and not having to ability to throw a ball is dumb
It's a bit of hyperbole to say worst ever but it was a terrible pick by The Bucs...I think Aguayo is the best college kicker I've ever seen and I'm happy as hell he's getting paid second round money, but you don't trade picks to move up to take a kicker with the 59th pick in the draft when in all likelihood you could have got him in the 3rd,4th,5th round...after all he was the only kicker chosen in the draft..if I'm a GM I'm never taking a kicker before the 4th round and certainly never trading picks to get one, because they are way too fragile of a position to take that chance on...all kickers are one big missed kick from going into a career tailspin they may never come out of...examples are too many to list...in fact if you look at most great kickers they were all cut 1,2 or 3 times before they discovered "it" and became great with a team....im hoping he may be like Sea Bass but history says that likely won't be the case
I remember when the Bucs used a 2nd round pick on a receiver from Appalachian State, who never caught a pass for the Bucs before being cut. It's pretty damn impossible to have a worse 2nd round pick than that.
The writer of that clickbait article wishes all of your comments were on its website, because that's all the internet media is about these days.
No doubt! The Jaguars drafted a punter in the third round a few years ago. Now to me that is pretty bad considering how void of talent the Jaguars had a few years ago. Good news is that they finally seem to be turning the corner.
Probably the same GM that said Jameis would be a bust. As a Bucs fan, I like the pick. We lost at least 2 games with the horrible kicker they had last year. Kicker was a position of need.
If any GM really said this it's likely a sour puss GM who is pissed Licht outfoxed them and took Roberto before they could early in the 3rd.
Dumbest pick in the draft is a toss up between Dallas taking Elliot, Tennessee trading up to take that tackle, or giants taking Apple at 10.
But Denver traded to get back into the first to take a crappy QB that would have been there when their 2nd round pick came around.
