What would you consider to be a draft failure?

Drafting ANY player, no matter the position, then parking his ass on the bench.... THAT would be a draft-day failure IMO. If you draft a player, that means you intend to utilize him to win football games. You do NOT draft players to sit on the bench.... not in today's league. Pre-1993, sure... there was no cap, you could keep guys around for years while you taught them your system.

I am not opposed to taking a player on offense in the first or second round if that player is clearly a better choice than a defensive player. An example being Mark Clayton, WR, OU.... that guy would be awesome in this system.
