Besides, beyond the stats, Akili Smith could have been the Saint's entire draft class, plus two more first round picks, plus one more second round pick. That makes it impossible to ever beat him as the biggest draft bust for the Bengals. Perhaps even the entire league.
Yeah no one will ever "top" Akili. I think you can make a strong argument that he's the biggest bust for any team. His numbers are worse than Ryan Leaf's, and the Chargers didn't turn down an entire draft for him.
As for Perry, he looked promising at first. Just couldn't stay healthy. In 2005, he was basically a big Gio for us. 51 catches.
