While not maybe not the outright worst draft pick of all time, Thudd Kassel has a great argument for the most disappointing. Coming out of the most loaded draft class at the time, Kassel was a super active player at the linebacker position which is always at a premium. Beloved by the S18 class, Kassel shot up draft boards as a solid earner and was a goofy fun guy to have around. He was also a GM in the DSFL and was respected by veterans and rookies alike. All of these factors led to Kassel going in the first round of the NSFL draft to a Second Line squad who was ecstatic to have nabbed their guy. Thudd was traded to Philadelphia after just one season in NOLA, but he fetched some great assets for NOLA in terms of draft value. Unfortunately for his new team, his one pro bowl appearance would be the peak of what he was going to do. It turned out, that lovable presence that he brought to rookie discord was not who he really was. After not even 3 seasons in the league, Thudd Kassel was banned for life from the league due to harassment and personal attacks. This punishment hurt Philadelphia in a manner that was completely unforeseen and for that reason, Thudd Kassel is one of, if not the biggest draft bust in NSFL history.
