First off, your joke = F-. :D

Secondly, up until they drafted Cedric Benson, the Bears had taken two running backs with the 4th pick. (1) Gayle Sayers. (2) Walter Payton. and then (3) Cedric Benson.

Way to live up to your expectations there Ced!

Jerry Angelo has been torturing the people of Chicago with his Offensive(double meaning intended) picks for a while now.

It was a combination of Eli Manning and Philip Rivers. They drafted Manning and traded him for Rivers.

Between Rashaan Sallam, Curtis Enis and Cedrick Benson, they sure have wiffed on first round RBs. Heck, Anthony Thomas and Matt Forte seem to be showning that they should always wait for the second round before drafting a RB lol.

I think if you did spreadsheet of QB's taken in the first round of the draft, about 60% are washouts. Remember Heath Shuler? Held out and then didn't make the starting line-up. Was he a bust. But undrafted Gus Ferrotte who ultimately beat him out (even though he headbanged a stadium wall) is still drawing a check albeit from the Lions.


The mighty Gus plays for the Vikings and started almost every game this year until his injury.

Ah yes, Rashaan Salaam. Paraphrasing, "I couldn't decide what was more important to hold on to, the football or the joint."

He was promoting mixed martial arts fights in China and the Chicago Tribune reported that Curtis Enis was working the graveyard shift at an overhead door company.

Leaf had all the physical tools to be great at any level. Unfortunately, his head did not have the same set of tools.
