Thread is simple. List a team and list their best draft picks and then their worst draft picks. ie) Philadelphia Eagles - Best Picks: Reggie White, Brian Dawkins. Worst Picks - Freddie Mitchell, Mike Mamula. NFL draft: Best and worst picks ever for every team - NFL.com
It'll be interesting who they pick for the Bears. Best pick could mean a couple of things: best overall player or best value the team got while drafting low for a player. Obviously the top all time Bears are some of the top all time NFL players so maybe players like: Olin Kruetz Doug Plank Richard Dent would be considered some of the best Bears picks ever, due to the value they brought while not being top picks like: Sayers Payton Urlacher
Cowboys- Best- Larry Allen. Huge reach in the 2nd out of Sonoma State Worst- Alexander Wright. While technically a 2nd he was the 26th overall pick Sent from my HTC Vivid

I'll step up for the mostly-forgotten Oilers: Best 1st Rd Pick: Earl Campbell He was a once in a generation talent who was the face, heart & soul of the franchise. Worst 1st Rd Pick: Dean Steinkuhler Don't know who he is? Then you more than likely weren't a college football fan in the early 80's. He was a monster at Nebraska. Problem is he was a total roid head, got injured over and over and was out in a couple seasons.
