That Benson draft class was terribly weak in the top end. I never really blamed JA for that one, I however hated the Olsen pick(not the biggest bust) so much more.

Worst Bears "pick" ever was the First round pick given up for Rick Mirer.
The guy never had a passer rating above 70 for the four years before the trade and it was 56 the year before the trade! He played in 7 games, starting 3, the next year for the Bears. He was 2 -5 in those games throwing 0TD's and 6 INT's with a grand total of 420 yards passing and a total passer rating of 37!!!
They didn't even use a 1st rounder on him as an unproven rookie, they gave up a 1st for an already proven NFL bust, gave him a 3 yr 11 MIL contract, and released him after 7 games as a Bear. I think this may be the worst move in the history of the NFL.
The only competition is the H Walker raping and the Ditka/R Williams fiasco, but at least those guys were either good or thought to be good. Mire was a shit QB his whole career and the Bears gave a 1 for him!!!!

This thread is a product of 18 year olds. Do you think the Bears have only made bad draft choices in the last 15 years. Stop making threads until you learn a little bit about the Bears. Their worst draft choice was a first round RB in 1971 named Joe Moore.

That was back in the day - I'm assuming but uncertain it doesn't still apply - when the Bears FO and/or McCaskeys refused to properly allocate resources to scouts outside the Midwest. As a result, and given the Chicagoland area giant boner for all things Notre Dame, they were overly focused on Domers. At least that's my (failing) recollection.
I was fooled twice by Pac-10 draft picks that they eventually did snag, I was stoked for both Cade McNown (!) and John Allred, was certain they were the successors to Joe Montana and Brent Jones. Turned out......not so well.

Nah, they'd had "worse". The Bears had some first round picks never even play in an NFL game.

I alluded to it early but really concentrate on those 1998 and 1999 draft misses at the top. In the span of two season the Bears missed on a franchise RB and QB. You can miss on a QB and it set your organization back half a decade. They missed on that AND the main ball carrier. Then two years later they also missed on their top WR pick. In 4 seasons the Bears missed on the 3 most important offensive positions. Truly a terrible run.

Meanwhile the Colts got Peyton, Edgerrin James, and Reggie Wayne.

Seems they had that in the 50's..
Seems in the 50's the Bears had a few... They drafted guys who snubbed the NFL for the CFL.

Ouch. Great comparison and catch. The sad thing is that in 98 and 99 we had some really good/nice picks in the middle and late rounds and in 2000 had a great draft top to bottom. If the Bears hit on those top picks in 98,99, and 01.....could have been scary good for a while.

You are at least 72 years old and posting on a message board on the internet. I hope my retirement is more fun than yours.

It also falls into the line the Bears are never bad enough to get a major difference maker. In 1997, they finished 4-12..The Colts 3-13. There were 3 other teams that went 4-12..Given shitty Bears luck, they ended up picking the last of them.
Of course I think the Bears had to be 2-14 to get Peyton. Had they tied with Colts at 3-13..The Colts would have won the tiebreaker then the Bears end up with Ryan Leaf.
1998 is much the same. A bunch of teams finished 3-13, the Bears once again 4-12.
