Unbelievable Kevin O’Connell just made a statement regarding Minnesota vikings that puts the team in serious trouble……………….
While Kansas City, Baltimore, Detroit and San Francisco prepare for their conference championship games, 28 other teams can turn their attention to free agency (begins March 13) and the NFL Draft, scheduled April 24-27 in Detroit.
Over the past five years, every team would like a do-over on at least one of its draft picks. As compiled by Yardbarker NFL writers, here are the worst picks for every AFC team since 2018.
AFC East
BUFFALO BILLS | OL Cody Ford (2019): The Bills swapped second-round picks and sent a fifth-round pick to the Raiders to move up two spots and select Ford 38th overall to be their right tackle, but he quickly proved to be far from that. After allowing seven sacks and 31 pressures as a rookie, Ford was moved inside, where he would struggle for two seasons (41 pressures allowed). The Bills eventually shipped him to Arizona for a 2023 fifth-rounder.
MIAMI DOLPHINS | CB Noah Igbinoghene (2020): The third of three 2020 Miami first-round picks who are unsettling to look back on, Igbinoghene was drafted as a development project and ultimately proved to be a disastrous investment. Twenty-nine tackles, five pass breakups and one interception in 32 games were enough to convince Miami to cut ties with Igbinoghene, resulting in his trade to Dallas last offseason for CB Kelvin Joseph.
NEW YORK JETS | QB Sam Darnold (2018): Although Zach Wilson is a far worse quarterback than Darnold, the Jets wouldn’t have taken Wilson second overall in the 2021 NFL Draft if the Southern Cal product had panned out. The Jets traded up to select Darnold third overall ahead of future All-Pro signal-callers Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson. In three seasons with the Jets, Darnold threw for 8,097 yards, 45 touchdowns and 39 interceptions.
NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS | WR N’Keal Harry (2019): Passing up on QB Lamar Jackson twice in 2018 may be New England’s biggest draft regret, but its worst selection in recent memory is Harry, chosen in the first round over future Pro Bowl WRs like Deebo Samuel, A.J. Brown and DK Metcalf. Harry caught 57 passes for 598 yards and four touchdowns across three injury-riddled seasons with the Patriots before being traded to the Chicago Bears for a 2024 seventh-round pick.
