This is one of the worst draft slots. There's been tons of horrible picks.

I'll go with Huey Richardson, a linebacker/defensive end drafted by the Steelers in 1991.


johnny mitchell 1992 tight end jets


All right. Huey Richardson was drafted by the Steelers because all the players they had wanted were gone. He did not record a single statitstic in the NFL, and played just 16 games in 3 seasons. For 3 different teams.

Richardson was traded away for a seventh round pick. That's right, a first round pick for a seventh round pick.

He is the much worse pick. Mitchell was actually not as bad as you'd think. His best season consisted of 58 receptions for 749 yards. That is not terrible.

Richardson never recorded a single stat in the NFL. So the Steelers never got anything from Richardson, and neither did any other team. Plus, he never started a game in his NFL career. Mitchell started 43 games and played in 57 in 5 seasons. That's not that bad.

Richardson contributed much, much less to the Steelers that put their faith in him. Mitchell was supposed to be better, yes, but if you look at the stats they dont look too bad. The stats he put up in his best season are like Jason Witten's stats in 2006.

But Richardson's stats don't look like anyone's because he doesn't have any. He is the worst pick.


yes he is but i really couldnt come up with anyone else


It's called the internet. You can search for someone. I searched for Richardson.

If you did not know, then just don't accept it. It would be a lot better for someone else to come and make a good argument then you telling me you couldnt find anyone else.

I'm usually good with accepting draws if someone f's up or something. But if they can't argue because they didn't like thier pick? That's their problem, and I wont take the draw if I gave my best effort but you didn't. It's not very fair.


whatever man

Yatil Green is the only guy who can come close to Richardson.

On that trade, Richardson was actually traded the year AFTER he was picked.

So the Steelers drafted him, in comes Cowher, he's played a year for the Black and Gold, and then he's shipped off.
