Justin Smith
Chad Johnson
Rudi Johnson
TJ Houshmandzadeh
Somehow a chain smoking TE got thrown in that awesomeness? Trust me, people were just as confused about Brewer then as they are now. The pick was universally panned. I think that's an example where a position coach got too much say.
Travis Dorsch was a dumb pick the following year. Was he a kicker? A punter? Answer: Both. He had the amazing ability to be crappy at both.
