Scoreboards – NFL draft picks

Picking from where we left off in the previous article of this football scoreboards feature, I have taken a look at the most disappointing draft picks for the remaining teams in the NFL from the last decade.

27. Bobby Carpenter, LB: Dallas Cowboys – he was the 18th pick in the 2006 draft. In the 4 years (and 58 games) he played for the Cowboys, he never managed a single forced fumble from the opposition nor an interception.

28. Alex Smith, QB: San Francisco 49ers – he was the 1st pick in the 2005 draft. This time around, it was the player who was unlucky to be drafted by a struggling team. Smith is not without talent; however, there have been instances where he hasn’t helped himself either. He has 14 touch downs, 10 interceptions, 2,370 yards and a QB rating of 82.1 to his name.

Continuing with this football scoreboards feature, I have taken a look at the next 10 most disappointing draft picks for teams in the NFL.

18. Matt Leinart, QB: Arizona Cardinals – he was the 10th pick in the 2006 draft. In the 4 seasons with the Cardinals, Leinart managed a career start record of 7-10, with the football scoreboards showing 14 touch downs, 20 interceptions and 3,893 yards. In 2010, he was acquired by the Houston Texans, for whom he has yet to play a game.

19. T.J Duckett, RB: Atlanta Falcons – he was the 18th pick in the 2002 draft. Even though Duckett has competent career stats, as fate would have it, he wasn’t able to perform well for the Falcons.
