Reminds me of a breakdown I did of just how bad our draft history has been.

And as you will see, 95 was the worst.

I'm sure some older members can come up with other bad drafts but that one 2013 is my vote

2013. A horrid free agency followed by an even worse draft. A couple of solid starters would have made us a playoff team. The best thing we got from that draft was that Dallas Thomas gif where he gets steamrolled by a cowboys player (someone post it please)

For those that need to see the 1995 draft class...

Round Player Pos College
1 (25) Billy Milner OT Houston
2 (53) Andrew Greene OG Indiana
4 (114) Ray McElroy DB Eastern Illinois
4 (122) Pete Mitchell TE Boston College
5 (158) Norman Hand DT Mississippi
6 (194) Jeff Kopp LB Southern California
7 (233) Corey Swinson DT Hampton
7 (246) Shannon Myers WR Lenoir-Rhyne

Only Milner made it to 1996 with us, and he was gone after that. By far one of the worst drafts for any team, ever. 4 players didn't even make the roster.

Had no idea we drafted Maverick in the 4th

 

[THE OG CANEPHINS]

The funny thing is we trade Maverick at the end of training camp for a WR, Mike Williams, who we had the previous 4 seasons and who didn't make it past 95. Even more of a failure for the front office.

Not close cause many of those players went on to play on other teams in some cases starters. Can't blame players for bad phin coaching or just a bad GM. Anyway probably the worst I know of was Shula's last year Milner and Greene 1st and 2nd rounders. Greene never played and was cut after his 1st year, Milner was traded the next year and never played much if any after that. Rest of that draft was pretty much garbage too.

Poor kid Joe Toledo was born in Omaha, Nebraska. went to High school in California, He played college football at Washington. He was drafted by the Miami. Played in Green Bay , San Francisco, San Diego , Seattle, and Philadelphia. Currently retired and living in Omaha, Nebraska. Get my drift?

Is it based on their contributions to the Fins only or the entire NFL?

Why not have a thread about our best drafts?

2013 would still be my #1 choice ... that draft is just absymal, and the #1 reason why I want to punch Jeff Ireland in the face so badly.

An extremely close 2nd, would be 2001 for me. The Jamar Flethcer pick was so bad for so many reasons ... but mainly because we passed on Drew Brees for him, and also, we had two Pro Bowl CBs on our roster (Madison & Surtain) already and didnt need him. That pick still pisses me off to this day.
