Putting Khyri Thornton on that list seems pretty premature, though I admit he didn't look good last year...

[vince]

Jolly, Bulaga, Bakhtiari, Linsley, Starks, Burnett, Hawk, Raji, Dix, Daniels, Barrington, - there's at least second set of ten guys over Flynn. Not that he wasn't a good pick but the guy had one good game... Crosby, Colledge, James Jones, Spitz, Bishop, Neal, Hyde, Heyward...

[Bretsky]

I thought Thorrnston looked like junk form the start fwiw

I'd have put the Backman in here over Flynn

Yes, I have no clue why he said Flynn except perhaps taking into account where he was drafted? Any of the names you mentioned should have been in that list instead.

I tend to put an asterick next to both Harrell and Sherrod. We'll never know if these kids could have really played or not. IMO Brohm was Ted's worst pick followed by Worthy. How did that guy fool so many people? He was truly dreadful.

I'd have put Brohm and Worthy and probably Sherrod too over Harrell. To me its a way bigger miss to drop a pick on someone who can't play at all than someone who's an injury bust. Especially considering Harrell got injured in the weight room which got a S&C coach fired.

Lee seems a little high on that list too. He sucked but didn't he go on to suck less somewhere else?

No, he maintained his high level of suckitude when he moved on.

I'd say Brohm and Worthy are the top two misses - I do think injuries robbed Sherrod and Harrell of whatever chance they might've had.

I think it's early to put Thornton on that list, too. There are other, more bust-worthy picks you could include. Like Terrell Manning, for one. Or who was that safety they drafted in, what, the third round, maybe the fourth, who played really stiff and upright and never did jack shit except for one play - an interception, I think - against Detroit?

I also don't see Flynn as a top pick. Bakteria is a better pick, as were others mentioned above.

Will Blackmon?

Will Blackmon?

He is still playing, though mainly special teams/returns. I don't think Packers were looking for a return specialist.

[Guiness]

Flynn may not have contributed as often or as visibly, but it's often said that the backup QB is the second most important guy on the team. To get 4 years of that position from a 7th round pick - hard to argue with the value in that. 2013, the Packers don't make the playoffs if he doesn't come in against the Vikings.

Aaron Rouse. The int was against the Colts. Guy looked like Kam Chancellor. Classic "looks like Tarzan plays like Jane."

[smuggler]

Abdul Hodge was actually a good player, he just had no cartilage left in either knee even before we drafted him. Unlike Harrell or Sherrod, that still makes him a bad pick.

[mraynrand]

Aaron Rouse. The int was against the Colts. Guy looked like Kam Chancellor. Classic "looks like Tarzan plays like Jane."

I shoulda remembered that one; I was at that game. That was one of those 'landed in your lap' kind of INTs - like those 3 INTs by Jumal Rolle last year.

That's the guy. I just looked him up. Third round, 89th overall pick. 6'-4", 225 lbs.

He sucked. Hard. He's got to be on that "bottom ten" list somewhere.

[Carolina_Packer]

That's the guy. I just looked him up. Third round, 89th overall pick. 6'-4", 225 lbs.

Kam Chancellor was picked 5th round, 133rd overall in 2010

Both tall Virginia Tech safeties. How could one be such a stiff?
