Whoever moved past Manziel, you did the right thing.

Lamar was insane to fall considering Josh Rosen was chose in that draft top 10

Laremy Tunsil's draft day was pretty wild too

Lamar going 32 was criminal, but the ARod one is the weirdest to me. From going from either being the #1 pick all the way to #22 is insane

I mean, the Browns did get Joe Thomas. Who by the way, was the best offensive linemen of his era, and just got elected to the Hall of Fame.

Rip Demariyus Thomas

R. Moss would never let the Cowboys forget how they did him dirty.

Imagine how many rings the 49ers would've had with rodger especially with the defense the last 14 years

Alex Smith's pathetic attempt at hitting that tire when Rodgers hit it perfectly is burned in my memory.

Dez Bryant was all about his “X” celebration for all the touchdowns he scored!

Man it's like Geno knew exactly what would happen to him when the Jets picked him. Truly a cursed franchise.

Sometimes the fall truly is what's best. It allowed people like Moss and Lamar to really, really blow up.

Love that lamar was so humble about falling and 5 years later he got his bag

Side note, Watching Gino being picked and his journey up until now is almost movie like. Good for Gino and his resilience.

DK Metcalf had a huge slide as well. Going into the draft a lot of mocks had him going top 10 and he was selected 64th.

Got recommended to me after Will Levis dropped out of the first round. Brutal

Reminder that Josh Rosen, who was taken 22 picks before Lamar, said “there were nine mistakes made ahead of me”

That Aaron Rodgers draft night was something else, falling to 24 and all the cameras on you live watching your hopes and dreams get crushed.

The jags picking Blake bortles over Johnny football like picking trash vs trash lmao

Was Manziel really a slide though? Fans were clamoring for him to be picked in the 1st but most NFL scouts had a late round grade on him. It definitely was entertaining waiting to see where he would eventually be picked.

Manti Te’o. Wasn’t out of the conversation for #1 in 2013 and then fell to the second round

Lots of people here are probably too young to remember Marino's rookie year but he was pretty much 100% ready from day one.

“They wrote me off but I never wrote back” Lol I love that

lLamar unique, great vision understanding of the game, doesn't hesitate that tremendous shortstop type arm not much wind up. Am a Lamar fan always so many running qb type offenses in college he broke thru

I guess Brady's fall was too long to be in this video. 😂

As a SAINTS fan, the Lamar/Brees/Michael Thomas/Sean Payton dream combo makes me cry for real 😔

Brady Quinn's issue was that he simply couldn't process plays fast enough. The game was just too fast for him.

The other thing about Marino was he was supposed to be a lock to sign with the USFL's LA Express as he was drafted #1 for the fledgling league in January. They were prepared to give him a ridiculous contract. He even made appearances for the team. Jim Kelly ended up signing with the Houston Gamblers. As for Lamar Jackson, as a Cardinal fan I wish we stayed put at 15 that year and drafted him then went defense the following year(had we still ended up with the #1 pick) instead of trading up and wasting the #10 pick on Rosen only to draft Murray the following year.

The sucky thing about Rogers's fall, is imagine if he had gone to the 49ers and what his stats could be not sitting behind Favre for three years. Perhaps it allowed him to develop enough to get running instead of faltering, but I would love to see the universe in which he went #1

As a cowboys fan, I’ll never forget how nervous I was about Jerry going after Johnny. I didn’t want him. Most cowboys fans didn’t want him. We were/are already the most dramatic team in the league, we didn’t need more. Getting Martin, a future HOFer was lit. Stephen Jones stepped up to his daddy that day and it paid off 😮‍💨

Marino "I think I threw 5. After you throw 3 what's the difference?" Good point,just keep slinging it lol 😆 😂

DK Metcalf falling to 64

Rodgers went at about the right spot, I'm a Packers fan and a huge Rodgers fan. If you can understand why Rodgers going in the 20's was the right spot for him then you can understand why so many players turn out to be busts. If Aaron Rodgers went in the top 10, it's highly likely he's a bust. He'd go to a team that wasn't good and be thrust into a starting job when he needed A LOT of improving before he was ready- even when he did start 3 years later he didn't come out of the gate looking like a great QB.

I remember people thought desean Jackson was to small and not strong enough but he proved everyone wrong. The best deep threat in nfl history and one of the most electrifying players ever. Not bad for a 5'10 175lbs man. Paved the way for those short speedy guys

😦 NFL bringing back Top 10??? 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Curtis Martin had durability issues 😂😂 shows the knowledge of the draft experts and nfl scouts

I feel like Geno Smith’s career after that night is the age old tale of the quality player who was overhyped by the media to create a storyline for the occasion. Glad he’s found a place in Seattle, what a storyline it became.

Alex Smith really played in the perfect system in Utah. He was coached by Urban Meyer before he went big time. I remember Utah steamrolling everyone they played that year. They played in a BCS bowl that year against Pittsburgh and clobbered them. Basically couldn't be stopped. Rodgers was just unfortunate that not that many teams needed a QB that year. This is how you get Tua at #5 and Herbert at #6 without having to trade up.

Jerry wanted Johnny Football... but if he had his way, then no Zack Martin. Bet for once, Jerry's glad he didn't interfere.

For those too young to remember, Aaron Rodgers was CLEARLY the best QB in that draft. He was slated to go #1 for awhile. His slide was more dramatic than all the others because even if he didn't go #1, you wouldn't expect a guy like him to go past the top 5. Especially not 20 years ago when teams were more willing to pull the trigger on a QB at the top of the draft. I still can't believe Alex Smith was selected over him. It blew my mind at the time and it still blows my mind today. I think Alex Smith came across as more mature and he had a young Urban Meyer blowing the bullhorn for him constantly. Rodgers came across as a little like a frat guy and that could be a reason he fell, but he was clearly so much more talented than Alex Smith to an extreme degree. The fall to #24 was insane. John Elway got drafted #1 to the Colts in the 80s despite the fact that he said he would never play for their organization lol so they traded him to Denver. Rodgers should have been #1. I thought it at the time and never changed my mind. He was too good to pass on unless you had a legit HOF QB in his prime at QB.

18:44 - Dick Vermeil talking about being careful drafting people with off the field issues. Meanwhile two years earlier in 1996 he selected one of the greatest character issues/ busts ever in RB Lawrence Phillips.

RIP DT. Great receiver for the Broncos. They took the right guy.

The Browns & drafting QB busts… name a more iconic duo

Instead of calling it the draft they should just call it "Rich Eisen says There it is for 3 hours"

Manziel actually had a lot of potential. He came to Seattle in 2015 which I went to go see and was surprised by his ability to evade and do good things with the football. Even Pete Carrol acknowledged his skills before the game. But obviously his off the field problems helped kill his career unfortunately.

In that 1995 NFL Draft the Patriots got Curtis Martin in the 3rd round with the number 74 pick. In the 6th round at pick #195 they took RB Dino Philyaw from Oregon. Pick 196 was RB Terrell Davis could you have imagined how good that backfield could have been if the Patriots went with Davis.

Will levis on this list now

You guys gonna keep making the first round vids from past drafts? Love those

Malik Willis and Laremy Tunsil should've at least been honorable mentions.

Brady Quinn looked so sad bruh

Whoever moved past Manziel, you did the right thing.. Laremy Tunsil's draft day was pretty wild too.

Geno Smith's drop wasn't proven wrong. Having one good season after banging around the league for 10-years and 4-teams doesn't scream "this guy shoulda been a 1st rounder!"

Something else that a lot of people don't know about Kyle Brady over Warren Sapp: The Browns were set to have the very next pick after the Jets (#10 overall). Their head coach at the time was Bill Belichick. And from what I've heard, Kyle Brady was the only name on their board. When the Jets took him, the Browns war room was so shocked and unprepared that they traded 20 spots down (yes, you're reading that correctly) with the defending champion 49ers. The Niners took J.J. Stokes with that tenth pick, by the way, and Cleveland ended up selecting Craig Powell at #30, who only lasted three seasons in the league.

Let’s revisit this in 10 years when Kenny Pickett is a 2 time Super Bowl champion 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Dez Bryant playing with Moss and Brady if New England would had drafted him would of been legendary!

I have only ever watched one NFL Draft. It was Brady Quinn. Seeing him with his girlfriend was the beginning of a good time. After he fell, and fell, and fell, watching her was the greatest show on television.

Johnny Football sliding that far was so entertaining and people were just like “WHY TF NO ONE TAKING HIM HES GENERATIONAL” ofc he didn’t turn out in the end but it was mad bamboozling to see manziel fall that low

best youtuber with another video!

RipDemaryius Thomas 💯

I don’t consider someone who is picked late in the first round to be a slide A slide to me is something like Malik Willis from 2022 He was projected to maybe be picked as high second overall, he was in the green room on day 1. He was not picked until day 2. When you get in your nice suit and stand up there with all the other rookies and at the end of the night you have to go back to your hotel without knowing what your future holds, that is a slide.

Man, Curtis Martin was a BEAST

Don’t forget Bo Callahan

Johnny Manziel is the best slide because he completely deserved it. His story ended sadder than it was in that moment making it so fun to watch.

Draft slide? Geno was a bust for his first 8 years. Just because he had one great year doesn’t mean he was some underrated player/prospect. 😭

Alex Smith was untested. Aaron Rodgers had 23 consecutive completions against the #1 defense in college football in 2004. Can't wait to see how the story turns out for AR.

Obviously it hurts to see other players in your position get drafted before you but in a glass half full way, there's gotta be some relief during the sliding process that you know you're likely gonna go to a better organization because of it.

seeing these old flip phones is hilarious 😂

"He struggles in the pocket when that first look isn't there" lmao

I love that Sapp had such an amazing career to make up for that terrible draft night drama

Next year, you can add Will Levis to this list

Geno Smith and his family were so confident that he was going in the 1st round that they came to NYC and didn't get a hotel room or even pack a change of clothes. If you see Geno on the first day, he's all decked out in a fancy suit. But on the second, he had on a sweater that he had to run out and buy in the city. Always be prepared.

rodgers 🐐💚💛

Bro that would’ve bin crazy if dez did end up with the Patriots

Kind of unreal in hindsight that Mahomes didn't go til #10.

The number of times the Browns picked up the slider QB is too funny.

Manziel's slide even more sense with the new Untold Stories doc. Dude was lucky to get drafted as high as he was, respect for getting the bag tho

Sometimes I wonder if the same player would have had the success they had if they didn't fall in a draft

There's a good chance the elite players that got passed on wouldn't have blossomed like they did had they been picked first overall. Being passed on gave them motivation unlike anything else to prove those teams made a big mistake by overlooking them. There's only one thing more motivating than believing in someone. It's NOT believing in them. The desire to prove them wrong ignited many of the best players to become legends.

22:55 the fact that they saw that and still took Alex smith over Rodgers 😂

As a Steelers fan I will never forgive the other NFL teams that passed on Lamar Jackson, the entire time I knew he was gonna be a stud in the NFL and yet team after team passed on him, and then right as I thought a team I liked could pick him up in the second round the ravens snag him and my heart sank.

Man EJ Manuel was such a disaster of a QB. Not like Geno wasn't but you have to think that would have been a better pick, really anyone else would have.

10:37 "makes every throw", "occasional accuracy issues" which one is it lmao or is "can" doing a whole lot of heavy lifting

I Love Your Videos 📸 NFL Throwback 🏈 Amazing Job 👍.

Nick Chubb was a slide and (due to injury in college) now he’s the best back in the nfl

Ik it’s early but I think Malik Willis is an all time draft slide, even if he doesn’t end up becoming a franchise quarterback. Some projected him to go at 2 to the lions and he fell all the way to the 100s

Lienart doesn’t belong on this list. Had a terrible career and still was picked 10th OVERALL. Not even late first round. Got picked tenth and was TERRIBLE at football and had a horrible career. That’s not that bad of a slide

Will Levis gonna be up here next year

Talking about Warren Sapp...he is probably the biggest draft steal. The guy was awesome to watch!!

Funny, how Jay Cutler outgunned Matt Leinart and Vince Young to have a better NFL career. Plus, Cutler got the better lady; he got to hit it with Kristin Cavallari! Lol 😁

Nakobe Dean going from the 1st round all the way to the 3rd was a pretty big one I think aswell. I seen him going top 20 in so many mocks to not even go top 100

We might have a new addition

i’m ready for the remake of this video in 1 year with will levis on this list

Justin Fields going in at 7 was the best thing bears ever did😊

Funny to listen to Mike Mayock judge NFL prospects🤣🤣🤣 He set the Raiders back YEARS!! Clelin Farrell🤡🤡

warren sapp's agent being such a caricature lol

Anquan Boldin cratered after he ran a 4.7. Worked well for Arizona

We're just gonna sit here and ignore La'el Collins slide OUT of the draft?!

To be fair Dez Bryant with the patriots would’ve been fucking crazy next to Randy Moss

The shot of Geno yawning after spending all night in the green room is hilarious

This video got me extra hyped for the draft
