So for this PT I am going to choose to talk about someone that is arguable for the role of biggest bust of all time. He is still active and still earning and is a great player overall. However I nominate Mack Arianlacher from Season 19 for this role. My reasoning for choosing Mack of all people is no fault of his own but rather his team. They chose to take him first overall over some other absolute studs in that class. One of those players, Austin McCormick they did get to draft at third overall so they didn't miss out on him. They did miss out on the best player in the class, yours truly, Kacey Dream. For this and this alone I deem this the worst draft pick of all time. I am hesitant to label Mack a bust but when you could have had a generational talent such as Kacey Dream and you pass on him that HAS to be labeled the worst pick of all time. To put it in perspective there are 7 other players that have solidified themselves as better players than Mack in the season 19 class. At this point he was barely worth a first round pick, let alone the first overall pick. To top it off and just really show how little even New Orleans valued him, they didn't even protect him in the expansion draft and he got taken by Honolulu. The first overall pick should be a cornerstone of your organization. The fact that they let him get taken by another team speaks volumes as to his value and the fact that he was in fact a bust.
