Partially to add some controversy....

Although he went on to have a great career elsewhere Jim Plunkett's 5 years in New England were pretty bad and he was the first pick in the draft.

Kenneth Sims was the first pick in the draft also and did not have a great career elsewhere.

Pats Fanatic

Dennis Byrd, Phil Olsen very good choices and would like to add Ron Sellers and Hart Lee Dykes.
The most frustrating was Sim, seems like every time he would start to preform like a 1st over all pick he'd get injured.

He's the undisputed champ - retire the trophy. #1 overall pick, and he was a stiff. Remember when they called him "Game Day" because he was such a turd in practice, and he claimed he saved it for game day? He wasn't much better on Sundays.

Jack Concannon of Boston College in the days the AFL competed

against the NFL for players. Billy Sullivan made a trade to obtain

the first pick in the AFL draft. He said that it was to obtain Jack for

the Boston fans. Trouble is Jack signed with the Eagles instead and

the Sullivans had egg all over their faces.

Sims was very disappointing. He did figure it out at one point but injuries cut his career short.

When Plunkett came here there was no talent around him the org was a zoo, you can't him by the stats. He took a beating. He was to us in his time what Bledsoe was, in the 90's. At least the FO started putting talent around Bledsoe, the FO was a joke whne Plunkett was here, you have no idea.

Chris Canty was like a bad Duane Starks.

Dennis Byrd. After he was drafted #1 he should up at camp totally out of shape.
never did anything but collect pay. the coaches could not believe how bad he was. he was so much slower than he looked.

Chris Canty was atrocious. I know this guy isn't the worst, but Tebucky Jones made some of the dumbest plays at the safety position I have ever seen. And then there was that whole fiasco of playing him at corner. I know he conrtibuted to the SB36 team, but that was not a good pick.
