I was looking through all the previous NFL drafts (compiling a list of all the OSU draftees) and noticed the udder waste the 1992 first round was. Check this out:

yuck, that's ugly

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

Wow. The only guys I even recognized were either huge busts or on my favorite teams. Thats pathetic.

What's up with the Dave Brown Duke at # 0?

 

[AKAK]

Man.. there are only about 4 guys on that list worth a broke dick.

 

[AJHawkfan]

What's up with the Dave Brown Duke at # 0?

Not sure. The only guess I can come up with is that they took him in the Supplemental draft or something? Anyone else have any thoughts?

Incidentally, in the 1987 draft, it lists Cris Carter as being a "0" pick as well. There is #84 at the end of the 3rd round, then he's listed as the first pick of the 4th round, #0, then there's pick #85, in the 4th round. Anyone remember what the circumstances were at that time?

Anyway, here's the link, if you want to cehck it out. Pretty cool resource for random knowledge (something I specialize in).

he was a supplemental draft pick the prior year

That is a pretty horrible list. I think Searcy and Vincent might be the only Pro Bowlers on the list, and Searcy was only good for 4 or 5 years. Brown was indeed a supplemental draft pick. Picking DTs high like Emtman and Gilbert is always a huge dice roll-sometimes you get guys like John Henderson,Marcus Stroud, and Richard Seymour, sometimes you get guys like Emtman, Gilbert, and Big Daddy Wilkinson.

Isn't Chester McGlockton still around?

 

[AKAK]

I was thinking those two... Robert Porcher and Dale Carter...

Marco Coleman was around for a long time and was a pretty decent rush end for a while too.

Oh, I guess Terrell Buckley was a decent player, but I didn't notice him before.

Still, its pretty abysmal.

 

[AKAK]

Isn't Chester McGlockton still around?

I don't think so.

1 (1) IND Steve Emtman Washington
2 (2) IND Quentin Coryatt Texas A&M


I almost forgot how bad the colts used to be at drafting.

 

[jwinslow]

man that list is just putrid.

Those guys were studs in college.

Anyone else choosing in those two spots would almost cetainly have chosen the same players.

Doesn't matter, does it... they blew chunks in the NFL and it wasn't the first and only time the Colts sucked big time drafting.
