My choice for the biggest draft bust is the selection of Lucari Felix by the Philadelphia Liberty in Season 10. This biggest reason he is my choice for one of the worst draft busts is his high draft number and then going almost directly after... Inactive. The story of Lucari Felix shows a ton of promise. He played football from middle school and by high school, he was well sought after and received a scholarship to play at Florida State. After 3 years there he joined the DSFL after being drafted in the 2nd round by the Portland Pythons. His one season in the DSFL showed a ton of promise with 14 tackles, 4 deflections, and an interception.
His performance received a ton of praise from the head office of the Philadelphia Liberty who ended up selecting Felix 3rd Overall! The high draft selection and great developmental season had the Liberty excited for what else was to come from this Cornerback. Was he going to be the #1 cornerback on the team in a few years? Was he going to be the unstoppable return man like he was in college? No, he was not anything slowly fading away and not progressing like they once thought. A wasted pick in the top 3 is something that would be regretted for years to come.
