Draft Fails

So I knew going into the draft I was going to be super busy for a couple of days with real life stuff, so I set my big board for the players I wanted in the first and second, told the computer my preferences, and let it set up my big board for the rest of the draft.

Had some free time today, so I checked in to see what was going on...and I saw I drafted this guy:

Chi Robinson. I have him rated 41 as a QB. He can scramble, he can break tackles, and he can carry the ball well (although he's awful at preventing fumbles somehow too, not sure how those ratings work together). He's also a pretty good holder for field goals. A seventh-round flyer? Maybe, although probably not. There were plenty of other QBs on the board with better stats, so perhaps the computer valuabled his volatility....

Except he's a zero in that too.

Conclusion: I've either got a total bust of a pick or the next superstar QB lol.

So, anyone else got any picks that, at least at face value, seem laughably awful?

5th rounder at least, can't do much about the way the AI drafts.

The AI drafting issue has been identified and is currently being worked on, per the following thread.

A guy in MFN-6 was taken a few years back by punisher with a potential overall of 57.

The most he ever lived up to was harassing a girl in a target:
