The Baltimore Ravens have had some wonderful luck in the NFL Draft over the years (see: Flacco, Joe), but they’ve also had a few draft busts who’ve broken our hearts with heaping spoonfuls of potential unfulfilled. Here’s our list of The 3 Biggest Draft Busts In Baltimore Ravens History.
3. WR Mark Clayton (#22 in 2005)
Clayton didn't much at all to justify his first-round pick status, meandering around as a peripheral threat for five years in Baltimore. He'd wash out of the league a couple seasons later following an uninspired stint with the St. Louis Rams, cementing his status as a first-round bust.
2. WR Travis Taylor (#10 in 2000)
Better known for his presence in the middle of the Minnesota Vikings' boat party scandal to end all boat party scandals rather than anything he did with the Ravens, Taylor had decent production in four years with Baltimore. However, he was far from a top-ten level wideout except for a solitary glimpse of explosiveness back in 2002. Nothing much here, so move along.
1. "QB" Kyle Boller (#19 in 2003)
The 2003 draft was the best of times and the worst of times for Baltimore. Nine picks prior to drafting Boller, the Ravens would select a generational defensive standout in Terrell Suggs. However, that doesn't erase the big wet duck farts that Boller consistently laid while attempting to live up to his "franchise quarterback" label. A pick-happy machine, Boller's on-field decision making (or lack thereof) still gives Ravens fans nightmares to this day.
