I always equate this with the giant mistake Green Bay made drafting Tony Mandarich. Most people know that Barry Sanders was drafted next. Ouch. What I did not realize is that the whole draft was loaded. Here are the first five picks.
Round 1
1. Dallas - Troy Aikman, QB UCLA
2. Green Bay - Tony Mandarich, T Michigan State
3. Detroit - Barry Sanders, RB Oklahoma State
4. Kansas City - Derrick Thomas, DE Alabama
5. Atlanta - Deion Sanders, CB Florida State
My goodness! Not only did they pass on Barry but Deion and DT as well. Worst pick ever! Also, there were some more players in the first round like Trace Armstrong, Steve Atwater and Andre Rison. Here is the whole first round.
Now I know why Ron Wolfe is so popular. Expectation are a little low when taking the GM job after this blunder.
