Brandon Llyod hands down. Cost of draft picks, a ton of cap space, locker room malcontent - just bad from every angle. At least the other players did not have all these factors against them. Also, most of these other players that everyone is talking about at least had descent stats to back up their price tag before they were acquired - Llyod was never good to begin with in the NFL and carried the all too famous "has great potential" tag with him. If you don't believe me go to NFL.com or any NFL stat website and check out his stats - he is a bum and never deserved to be traded for and paid like he was. When you look at acquiring a player one of the things you have to consider is production - which one point I want to add on - picks like Heath Shuler shouldn't be considered the worst deals because teams could only look at his college stats and you can't blame the skins for taking him because he was considered one of the top qb's in the draft that year and the SKins needed a franchise qb and Shule at Tennessee was pretty darn good.
