whats the worst/surprising draft pick yall seen for your team?
- Thread starter ayo4yayo
- Start date
I was at the 49ers draft day party at the Santa Clara convention center for the 2007 draft. I remember everyone thinking that the niners were gonna draft either Amobi Okoye or Adam Carriker. I had no idea who Patrick Willis even was, along with almost everyone else. So when the Niners made the selection, no one really cheered or boo'd......everyone seemed confused/surprised.
1983 Draft
It was 1983 when they drafted Gabriel Rivera the Defensive Tackle who came out of Texas Tech! Dan Marino was up for grabs and we took this bust instead! Marino played for the Pittsburgh Panthers too in college and everyone knew we were taking him... Yeah and Dan paid the Steelers back the next year in the AFC Championship when the sucker fish fins beat us!
What's funny is five others players were chosen after that until someone picked Dan Marino up. So Pittsburgh wasn't the only one's to pass up on the future Hall of Famer! I think he was taken like 27th...

i was fuckin pissed when the bucks drafted sum unknown white foreigner named dirk nowitski. then they traded em 4 tractor traylor & i was like alrite cool. shows what i know. i was also pissed when the bucks drafted shawn respert over michael finley. nice scouting, a fat unathletic jump shooter in the 1st round. 2 this day when we go 2 bucks games r running joke is 2 leave all r garbage by r seats & say, "shawn resperts gonna b pissed when hes cleaning up after the game."
