I totally agree. But you have people saying they knew Montana was going to be great, or they knew Tom Brady was going to be great... really? Then why did they last until the 3rd and 6th rounds, respectively?

Steadman was in the organization because he was Lamar Hunt's roommate at SMU. I don't think Fuller was the worst pick ever. The one that was the most damaging was Blackledge. We've still never drafted a QB #1 since 1983 because of that pick. Other terrible number one picks were Brian Jozwiak, Anthony Hancock, Trezelle Jenkins and Ryan Sims. Sylvester Morris and Percy Snow were injury victims, so I don't really hold their high pick status against them.

Oh, and in light of this story think about this: Jack Steadman is on the Chiefs ring of honor. Talk about peter principle in action...

Steadman's greatest failure was bringing in, and keeping, the right guy to coach the talen

If he had retained Levy after a poor strike shortened, scab team season, he would probably

Milk: Steadman was moved out of the GM role in 1976. He was still in the front office, but worked on stuff like player contracts and stadium improvement and such after that point. In 1976 Jim Schaaf was the GM, and stayed until 1988, when King Carl was hired. One of the reasons Steadman got out of the GM chair was because he sucked at evaluating talent, and wanted the scouts and coaches to make the picks after that. They didn't do a very good job until Marty and Carl got here, although they got a couple decent players like Maas and Neil Smith prior to 1988.

Interesting. doubtful guys like Steadman and Schaaf would last nearly as long in todays era because there is so much more pressure to win. Back then, there was very little media pressure, no grass roots internet fan revolts, etc.....
