Was the 2009 Draft by Pioli the worst draft ever.
 

I hear a lot of people saying that the 2009 Draft by Pioli was the worst draft ever.
Poll to come, public… Please explain your reasoning….

I understand you can’t judge a draft until after 3 years, but you can ignore that if you want.. so I have taken the drafts of 2004, 2005 and 2006 (2 by dick and 1 by herm) to see if you would agree with me, that it could have been a lot worse…

I marked X on those that are still here, and i also marked those who are on other teams, who i thought were good picks...

I guess to me, it might have potential to be a bad draft, but its not even close to being the worst draft in this decade.... let alone ever...

It's stupid to judge the draft today. Better than judging it a year ago, but after next season, it will be much clearer. Pass.

For what we actually drafted, 2002 was suck. Fuj was good, but the rest was TEH SUCK.

I don't know if you'd count getting Roaf for the 3rd round pick as being a good draft, though. A good move, yes, but our drafting ability still sucked.

Oh for ****s sake.......

2009.

Because Pioli was the GM. That's why.

Jackson will NEVER live up to where he was selected, but i don't think that makes him a bust. He'll be alright, but never an impact player. I'll reserve judgment until after next season regarding Washington and Lawrence. And obviously, we found a Kicker, which a lot of teams struggle to find.

2005 was pretty frackin sucky


too early to tell on 2009

I understand this, why its posted... im just trying to see why people would call this the worst ever, when we have had that much worse this DECADE, let alone EVER...

See post 10

People call it the worst ever because it's the most recent. In 3 months, the 2010 draft will be the worst ever if it doesn't go according to value charts and CP's hand-picked list of appropriate role players.

Mecca,Hamas,and Dane have already declared the 2010 and 2011 drafts as failures.

Its insane to judge a draft after one year.

The fact that this is even a topic of conversation, with one of the highest draft positions in franchise history, isn't a great sign (#2 overall in '88, '79, and '78).

Damn...they are all pretty depressing when you look at them. But I'd say this draft can't be fully evaluated yet. Of the ones on the list, I'd say that 2004 was the worst and Jared Allen was pure unadulterated luck. Take him out and all you might have is Key Fox.

That draft sucked ass...
