Honorable mention to the worst refused trade in NFL hostory. Before giving all their picks to Washington the Saints tried to get the bengals to trade the #3 overall pick and offered all their draft picks plus next year's first round picks. The Bengals refused saying "Akili Smith is our guy." Instead of getting all those pick they got one of the biggest qb busts of all time.

About the Ricky Williams trade: 1. Proved that post Bears Mike Shitka sucked at being a coach/GM. 2. The immediate damage to the organization was a bit offset by Jim Haslett's 2000 team that won the division and got to the divisional round of the playoffs after beating the Kurt Warner SB champ Rams. 3. The part of this trade that gets completely overlooked is that Washington blew all of those picks... all they ended up with was Champ Bailey, who they got through trading with the picks, Cade McNown, and in 2000, Lavar Arrington. 4. Between both teams, they each won a division title and had 3 winning seasons total. Overall, from both perspectives, a complete trash trade!!

Trubisky wasnt a flop, he had 64 TDs over 37 int which is phenomenonal for a bears QB, he made the pro bowl, tied the NFL record for TD passes in a game with 7 and made the playoffs, bad management by Chicago and revolving door of several different offensive coordinators, trubisky was handcuffed by the play it safe bears play calling, if the bears would've taken maholmes or watson, you'd be saying the same thing about them

They didnt need to take Elway to begin. Second they didn't need to trade him too Denver, they took a terrible deal all around and Hinton did nothing to stop the Colts from being an average team. Elway is responsible for 2 wins in 4 trips as a player then doubles back years later and robs the Colts again leading too 1 win in 2 SB trips fleecing the Colts out of Manning.

You dont understand the Thumbnail Trade. Moss was considered "Done" at that point.

Trey Lance got screwed from the beginning. He started just 19 college games, covid blew his final year. The 49ers made an absurd trade to pick him #3 overall, placing unfair expectations. Kid had 20 years old when he got drafted with not even 20 career starts. He shouldn't have been a first round pick at all. Got hurt his first season as a starter. Then, traded to the Cowboys where he had next to no chance to play a game. I hope someday we see Trey Lance get another chance as a backup. What he always needed was experience, but covid and the 49ers screwed him.

Technically, two things are true. One: Ricky Williams wasn't an all-time bad trade when you realize that draft class was relatively poor in depth, and in 2000, had they stumbled into drafting Brady after round 3... Nah, nobody but Belichick was gonna draft THAT guy and with good reasoning. Without Bill's knowledge of the ins and outs of the game, they cheated their way to the top... And Two: there was an equally terrible trade (if not the worst ever) that sent #EricDickerson to the most mentioned team in this video.

It needs to be mentioned that SF needed a QB back then too and all Mahomes has done is beaten them TWICE already in the Super Bowl.

@justinlast2lastharder74915 күн бұрын
Wrong. The Trade up one spot is to guarantee someone else can't do it and pick who you want. It usually doesn't take much to do it either. Look at this year, the Vikings moved up with the Jets because there were multiple teams interested in "their guy", the Jets had a few players they wanted available and were fielding offers for 10. It makes sense if you are locked into a guy and are concerned about another team sliding in. (Of course the Jets picked the worst possible, a lineman that will be on the bench and ruined instead of Future HOF Brock Bowers, I'm no longer a Jets fan after this draft. 24 years of fandom gone).
