 Which NFL Draft pick is considered the worst and biggest bust of all time?  The answer really depends if you are a fan of one of the teams that made one of the Top 10 worst picks.  The topic of Cam Newton brings up the discussion on whether or not he will be at or near the top of this list of terrible NFL drafts picks in a few years.  Many of these quarterbacks had significant potential but mentally did not have the toughness or work ethic to be even moderately successful.  It takes a decade to decide if an NFL Quarterback will be considered among the best ever.   

 

Here are 10 of the worst NFL Quarterback draft picks of all time:

 

·        Jamarcus Russell (2007) – Picked #1 by the Oakland Raiders

 

·        Ryan Leaf (1998) – 2^nd overall pick by the San Diego Chargers

 

·        David Carr (2002) – Picked #1 by the Houston Texans

 

·        Tim Couch (1999) – Picked #1 by the Cleveland Browns

 

·        Akili Smith (1999) – 3^rd overall pick by the Cincinnati Bengals

 

·        Jim Druckenmiller (1997) – 26^th overall pick by San Francisco 49ers (1^st QB)

 

·        Heath Shuler (1994) – 3^rd overall pick by the Washington Redskins

 

·        Joey Harrington (2002) – 3^rd overall pick by the Detroit Lions

 

·        Cade McNown (1999) – 12^th overall pick by the Chicago Bears

 

·        Matt Leinart (2006) – 10^th overall pick by the Arizona Cardinals

 

Will Cam Newton make this list or will he shine in the NFL?
