With the draft looming large in the minds of football fans everywhere, we're seeing mock draft after mock draft as well as the perennial "Worst #1 Picks EVER" lists that make Tim Couch and Ki-Jana Carter cry every year. Well, enough of this nonsense! Let's be positive for a moment and discuss the Top 10 Greatest Mr. Irrelevants of the past 30 years.
Now over the years, we've seen some gargantuan flops in the first pick. Those hurt. That's money and time wasted poorly. You've seen those names ad nauseum, so I won't dip back into that well. We've seen big timers come from NEARLY the last pick, even as currently as Marques Colston in 2006 as the 252nd overall selection. We've had Donald Driver in 1999 at 213. 1993 saw the drafting of Trent Green at #222 and America's sweetheart, Troy Brown at #198. Even all the way back in 1978, Bill Kenney, a QB out of Northern Colorado was selected the pick before last and went on to be a Pro Bowl QB for the Kansas City Chiefs and eventually a Senator in Missouri.
But, what about those guys who squeaked in when everyone else in the world, other GMs included, has completely lost interest? Let's go through the years and find the best of the worst:
