Green Bay Packers biggest draft busts
1. OL Tony Mandarich (1989)
Round 1, Pick 2
Mandarich was a massive disappointment after being drafted second overall. The hulking lineman only managed to play three seasons in Green Bay, but the other players selected in that draft class make the Mandarich pick sting even more; Hall of Famers Troy Aikman, Barry Sanders, Derrick Thomas, and Deion Sanders filled out the rest of the top five.Mike Powell

2. DE Jamal Reynolds (2001)
Round 1, Pick 10
Reynolds only played 18 games in three seasons for Green Bay, despite being the 10th pick overall. The Packers released Reynolds before the 2004 season, and he never played another NFL game again.David Maxwell

3. DT Justin Harrell (2007)
Round 1, Pick 16

10. RB Eddie Lacy (2013)
Round 2, Pick 61
Lacy was the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2013, and he put up a solid sophomore season to back it up. However, his inability to lose weight or stay healthy earns him a spot on the list. Lacy signed a one-year deal with Seattle in the offseason.Tom Szczerbowski
