Brian Brohm was also a second rounder who didn't pan out.

It wasn't just losing a 2nd round pick with Worthy's failure. TT traded up to get Worthy. It cost them their own 2nd (#59) and fourth (#123) to move up to #51 to get Worthy.
In 2008, Jordy Nelson turned out to be a great pick, but later that same round we drafted Brian Brohm and then Pat Lee 4 picks apart. Someone named Jamaal Charles was drafted by the Chiefs the next round. Yikes!
Is that true that we had a shot at Lavante David? Yikes. That hurts.
Do we know what draft pick we're getting for Worthy? In order of how poorly TT did his job I'd rank the biggest busts as:
Brohm, then Worthy, then Harrell. Harrell's injuries were completely unrelated to his predraft ones, a strength and conditioning coach got fired over his back, and more importantly the guy could play. Worthy wasn't healthy and not particularly good. But Brohm... Brohm was soooooo shitty. There was a terrible disparity in between his actual talent and the talent of those evaluating him. That's much worse IMO. He had no injuries to hide behind, he's just bad at football.
Its reportedly a seventh, I have not seen it described as variable based on playing time, etc.

yup, that just happenedQuote:
Less than two years in, Manning and McMillian were cut, Worthy has been traded and Perry isn't a lock to make the team given his injury history and the Packers' depth at the outside linebacker position.
Worthy had one move. He'd try to get skinny and knife thru the line. OL's spotted this and hammered his ass.
buh bye, kid.
We've also heard the theory that he just guessed the count in college.
Beilema said he was the quickest defensive lineman the Badgers ever played, thought he would be a stud in pros.
I tend to think he was injured all the time and the jury is still out. Well, the fact that Packers gave up on him means the jury is thinking guilty, but it's not set.
