      <title>Lombardi Ave&amp;#8217;s Top 5 Packers Draft Busts</title>
      <description>These draft picks for the Packers did not work out too well.&#160; Now, the Packers have drafted players every year since 1936, and I have only been alive for 2/9 of the time the Packers have been drafting players, so I'm going from 1980 on.&#160; Dang, there are a lot of busts here.&#160; I'll try to narrow it down to the Top 5 in Green Bay Packers 1980+ history.
5. Brent Fullwood, RB, 1987, #4 overall - To his credit, Fullwood does have a Pro Bowl to his name; 1989 when he rushed for 821 yards and 5 TDs.&#160; Other than that his numbers are unimpressive.&#160; He played 45 career games with the Packers and totaled 1,702 yards in that time period along with 18 TDs.&#160; This draft was chock full of Auburn running backs.&#160; Fullwood was teammates in college with Bo Jackson,&#160;Tommie Agee, and Tim Jessie. &#160;He doesn't seem like a total bust; just a bad draft pick.&#160; However, given the fact that LaDainian Tomlinson has those career stats in a season, he's a bust.&#160; That is not #4 overall pick production.&#160; Fullwood later appeared in a game for the Cleveland Browns and was listed on the Miami Dolphins roster.
4. Bruce Clark, DE, 1980, #4 overall - To put it plain and simple, Clark just never played for the Packers.&#160; He didn't.&#160; After being drafted this high out of Penn State, Clark decided to forego a chance at NFL glory to go play for the Toronto Argonauts in the CFL.&#160; Good choice man.&#160; When he came back, he played from 1982-1988 with the New Orleans Saints and 1989 with the Kansas City Chiefs.&#160; He later played for the Barcelona Dragons of the World League of American Football.&#160; Sweet life dude.&#160; Clark recorded 39.5 sacks in his career, good for 166th on the all-time list.&#160; One interception and one safety are also credited to his name.&#160; This draft pick appears to have set off a trend for the Packers drafting in the 1980s.&#160; Bust.
3. Rich Campbell, QB, 1981, #6 overall - The Packers thought they had found the answers to their quarterback problems when they drafted this All-American out of California in 1981.&#160; Wrong.&#160; Campbell played in seven games for the Packers.&#160; His stat line: 31/68, 386 yards, 3 TDs, 9 INTs.&#160; Not Brett Favre-type numbers, eh?&#160; Aaron Rodgers has 329 yards for his career, so he is not quite out of Rich Campbell territory yet.&#160; Hopefully he will surpass him.&#160; For the love of God, he better.
2. Jamal Reynolds, DE, 2001, #10 overall - 18 tackles.&#160; 3.0 sacks.&#160; 2 forced fumbles.&#160; All that for a top ten pick.&#160; Busted.&#160; There were some high hopes for this guy too.
1. Tony Mandarich, OL, 1989, #2 overall - Yeahh, you all knew this was coming.&#160; "The Incredible Bulk."&#160; The Incredible Bust.&#160; Mandarich was hyped.&#160; A little too much.&#160; The Packers took him #2 overall in the draft, but kept him on special teams his rookie year after a contract dispute in which did not get resolved until the week before the season started.&#160; They cut him three years into a four year contract.&#160; Attitude issues were amuck with this guy, and he was just not a Green Bay guy.&#160; Oh yeah, Barry Sanders was still on the board.&#160; Heard that guy was pretty good.
Other considerations: Darrell Thompson, Craig Newsome, John Michels, Antuan Edwards, Javon Walker, Ahmad Carroll.</description>
