Vote for your biggest first round bust ever: http://tinyurl.com/cshccm

The real NFL Draft has passed, but April Badness is still here for your enjoyment. We began with 32 first-round busts, and now only two remain. There have been a few surprises, but our top overall seed and champion of the Jim Irsay Region, Ryan Leaf, has taken down every fellow bust in his path. His Final Four opponent -- Tony Mandarich, the last man standing in the Mike Brown Region. On the other side of the bracket, another pair of infamous busts. Representing the Ray Perkins bracket was Lawrence Phillips going against the champion of the Matt Millen Region, Tim Couch.

Who are the lucky two men left? Without further ado, let's get to the results!!

Finals
#1 Leaf vs. #1 Phillips
And then there were two...A repeat offender of violent crimes takes on a repeat offender for being an ****. Well perhaps Phillips falls into both categories, but nonetheless, he will go toe-to-toe with Leaf to decide once and for all who the worst first-round pick of all time is.

I'm sorry but Ki Jana Carter was a bigger bust than Phillips plus he was a #1 overall pick vs. a 6th pick........................It's funny how Leaf and Phillips get nailed, but Akili Smith #3 overall and (worse career than Leaf) KiJana Carter who was the worst #1 overall pick of alltime seem to get a pass.

Honorable Mention worse #1 overall

Steve Entman and Alex Smith
