Worst: Linebacker Mike Mamula -- Mamula made his name at the Indianapolis Scouting Combine. But he turned out to be a player who, as scouts say, looked like Tarzan but played like Jane.

Man, there were some lousy picks in there, huh?

I'd have to go out on a limb and say that Ki-Jana is THE worst pick ever, for a #1 overall to have a grand total of 1100 yards in his career, thats gotta be the biggest bust ever. sure, couch blows, but at least he put up numbers, albeit bad ones.

He's still not as bad as Steve Emtman or Aundray Bruce, who I think was a bigger bust than Emtman or KJ.

It is hard to say that since his problems were in large part due to injuries.

Tom Cousineau deserves consideration.

Can you say Vernon Davis?

Agreed. Emtman is THE worst #1 pick in history.

There are worse (or just as bad) as Entman:

Kenneth Sims, Walt Patulski, Jeff George, and Tim Couch.
