The 1999 NFL Draft saw one stud quarterback (Donovan McNabb) and one pretty good gunslinger (Daunte Culpepper) go in the top 32 picks, but it also featured three of the biggest busts in NFL history.
Quarterbacks Tim Couch (Cleveland), Akili Smith (Cincinnati) and Cade McNown (Chicago) were all chosen in the top 12, and none of them ever lived up to the huge expectations that come with being drafted in the top portion of the first round.
To make matters even worse, though, Smith and Couch were taken ahead of guys like Edgerrin James, Ricky Williams, Torry Holt and Champ Bailey, while McNown was selected ahead of Jevon Kearse, Damien Woody, Antoine Winfield and Al Wilson.
