I say Duckett purley because we gave up a 3rd round pick for a guy we pretty much knew wouldnt be anymore than a 3rd down back......but he did at least make some plays for us...

I mean...they're all bad lol

You have to remember the circumstances around it. The Skins were a playoff team the year before with high aspirations. Portis gets hurt and we were left with Betts and Cartwright who were both unproven and fumble risks at the time. Duckett was the best available insurance policy. The fact that he didn't play just meant that we didn't need the insurance payout.

Duckett was a pricey insurance policy that we didn't end up having to cash in. Not the best move in hindsight, but I can at least understand the rationale behind the move. Tough to see how that move would top some of these other ones.
