Biggest Draft Busts IMO
White Sox = Joe Borchard (2000 MLB 1st round , 12th overall)
The guy was so hyped and got the biggest MLB signing bonus for a draftee at time (It wasn't until 2005 that a player got more)
Was completely useless in field and couldn't hit a baseball if his life depended on it
Bulls = PF Sidney Green (1983 NBA 1st round , 5th overall)
The Bulls completely whiffed on selecting Green to be cornerstone of franchise as he never showed much bouncing around NBA for his career as a bench reserve player for most part. Several players drafted after him became allstars and one a HOF (Clyde Drexler).
Thankfully the next year the Bulls were lucky enough to have Portland pass on Jordan
Bears = LB Waymond Bryant (1974 NFL 1st round , 4th overall)
The guy who was supposed to be the next great MLB proved not only to be complete bust but struggled enough at MLB that he was moved to OLB by year 2 and was out of NFL after 4 never recording a sack and only notable thing he did was end Nameth's career with hit
Bears error made more appalling by fact next pick was DE John Dutton who would become star in Baltimore while LB Randy Gradishar drafted at #14 would become stud LB star for 70's Broncos (Multiple time Pro Bowler)
Bears then used #20 on a DE in that same 1st round pick (DE Dave Gallagher) after passing up chance to draft someone like Dutton at #4. Gallagher lasted just one year with Bears........ The next pick in draft
Future HOF WR Lynn Swann
Its drafts liked 1974 that set back organizations a generation
Blackhawks = LW Kyle Beach (2008 NHL 1st round , 11th overall)
I am going to go with Beach because he didn't pan out in the slightest bit. Not even making it to NHL in his career and Hawks passed up alot of talent in that draft thru 1st round taking him
People may go with Barker but NHL changed with that lockout and he wasn't built for it and the drop off in that draft from top 2 and 3rd was dramatic. Barker at least made it to NHL and played a bit
My expectation is Trubisky will assume the mantle of Bears worst draft given trade to move up , the spot he was drafted , the two QB's we passed on and likelyhood that Mitch will be gone from Bears and not starting in NFL after next season
