Washington Redskins Top Ten Biggest Draft Busts--Bobby Wilson

by Ken Meringolo on Apr 13, 2011 9:12 AM EDT in Redskins 2011 Draft

OK...maybe this one we can all agree a little more on?

The Washington Redskins drafted Bobby Wilson in the 1991 draft to come in and anchor our defensive line. He was selected 17th overall. As first round picks go, he was largely a dud. He did manage to make it through four seasons as a Redskin but they were not extremely noteworthy years. He managed 136 tackles and 11 sacks during that time before a back injury caused him to hang up the cleats for good.

I have not used this series of post to second-guess draft decisions...for the most part. After all, most first-round picks are crapshoots. But Brett Favre went 16 picks later. Just saying.

That's how you know he's a bust, haha.

Honestly I’ve never heard of this guy.

Me either, but then again we were only about 5 when he got drafted.

Christ.....

Here I thought I was a younger person on here….. I was on my first AF assignment in Anchorage when he was selected…..guess I’m one of those old bastards….

what you've just said... is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Trying to invigorate some energy into the place.

If we did a roll call we would find a lot of our friends MIA right now.

That's what we were told.....

We even had cars, houses, and strip clubs back then. Modern wonders in such a peaceful and beautiful yet desolate land. Sadly, the weekly football coverage was either Green Bay or the Sea Hawks. Guess they thought we really liked Seattle and that the “frozen tundra” was equally applicable to us….

Everyone knows how I feel about this one.... I already called him out

BUST

And I’m talking Double D Bust, not “Huge Tracts of Land” bust (Monty Python reference, for those of you who are too young to know).

Not quite Chesty McBusty, but one of the worst ten.

And gopens44…. I’m sure I’m not the OLDEST here…. but I STILL have a car I brought brand new (a Camaro) that was well before this bust started tearing up the college games.

I have electric windows.

All options. It’s a baby IROC.

So, no crank (except for the driver).

so do the “antique” tags make you cry a little or make you well up with pride?

By the way, I think it’s technically illegal to play anything post-Bon Jovi Slippery When Wet in those models….Saw a 1986 Camaro pulled over for playing the New Jersey tape a few weeks back…..

Has to be pre-1992 music.

I’m allowed to listen to music up to then, and a VERY few select groups after.

R. Kelly, for example, when the wife is frisky. Smashmouth…. um… that’s about it, post 1992. OTOH, I can play a lot of Springsteen (Born to be Wild slamming out while cruising at 70 with the T-Tops off is quite pleasant). However, I’m more of a classic rock kind of guy anyway, so I prefer the 1960s, the ROCK (not Disco) 1970s, and early 1980s stuff. I could go for some Joan Jett singing about her true love, Rock and Roll, though.
