Markus Kuhn was a 7th round pick, I'm not sure how much greatness (or even mediocrity) could be expected of him...

That wasn't a criteria. It was simply suckitude, and he was one of the worst defensive linemen I've ever seen.

Tucker Frederickson( number 1 draft choice)
Derek Brown
Cedric Jones
Thomas Lewis( WHO!!!!!)

for Giants Wide Receivers:

1. Tim Carter
2. Sinorice Moss
3. Ramses Barden
4. Rueben Randle

Brandon Meyers
Healthy Geoff Schwartz
William Joseph

Jerrell Jernigan: completely forgettable even when writing a list of shitty Giants receivers.

Elvis Patterson

CC Brown

William Joseph

Eric Flowers

had that an one game career against the Redskins (final game of the 2013 season). He got 2 TD's and had 90 yards receiving. He strapped the Giants on his back that day to lead a mediocre team to a meaningless victory over a hapless opponent.

You want to talk about first-round picks that were misspent on running backs? Tucker Frederickson was a worse pick, taken #1 overall. Guys taken after him included Dick Butkus, Gayle Sayers, Joe Namath, Mike Curtis and a bunch of other very good to great players. Dayne was lousy, but he was just ordinary lousy, not a monumental example of suckitude.

Agree on Dayne but you're off base about Tucker Frederickson. Injuries ruined what could have been a great career.

Did you ever see Frederickson play before he was injured?

But we passed on a generational RB in that draft in Gale Sayers. Did you ever watch him play before he was injured

Not to me! I immediately thought Jernigan was considerably worse than any of those 4. Guy couldn't fair catch a freakin' punt, he was afraid of his own shadow.

Ereck Flowers
Cedric Jones
Joe Pisarcik
Ron Dayne (not the worst, the most disappointing)

Ian Allen Elvis Patterson

If you saw Elvis Patterson play, you know he was not nearly as bad as advertised.

The guy had a huge interception on the first play of the fourth quarter of Super Bowl XXI that arguably Iced the game. That alone eliminates him.

Considering the laundry list of clowns that passed through this franchise, Patterson isn't close to being on Mt Suckmore.

which is when I started watching the GIANTS. And I have to hold it to people who actually played for the team, or at least were really expected to play for them.

But here's mine:

* Joe Don Looney (Appropriately-named high 1st round draft pick RB who was a MAJOR head case and never played a single regular season game for the GIANTS.)

* Derek Brown (1st round draft pick TE who was scared absolutely shitless by Lawrence Taylor in Brown's first NFL practice. He then took more money for doing less for them longer than any other player they ever had.)

* Tommy Maddox (Street free agent signing with the worst actual in-game performance by any NYG QB I have EVER seen, and I've seen a lot of bad ones.)

* Ben McAdoo (I don't care if he did have a winning record his first year as Head Coach - his second year was the biggest disaster I have ever seen, and I suffered through the 15 years of lousy football. At least those teams tried.)

Guys like Rocky Thompson, Dave Brown, Matt Dodge, Curtis Riley, and even "Can't Cover" Brown don't even get near this quartet for ineptitude. But I did seriously consider Eli Apple. And then there was the low-round draft choice that Parcells cut early in his first practice. Can't remember his name or position, but he wasn't around long enough to get serious consideration for this list either.

Cut it out.

Mt. Suckmore, all from that infamous play in 2003:

1. Trey Junkin: started it all
2. Matt Allen: decided to run play-action
3. Tam Hopkins: decided to go deep
4. Matt Bryant: missed a "game winning" 40 yarder minutes earlier

1. Flowers what a bust, but I blame Ross and Reese

2. Marvin Austin injured and never was what he was before the injury. Just a bad second round pick

3.George Adams, better known as no balance Adams

4.Gary Zimmerman when the Giant's could have has Reggie White when Zimmerman said he wouldn't play in NY. I know the Giants received some picks but they passed up a Hall a Fame player who would have teamed up with LT and Marshall.

Just thinking of how insane that would’ve been
Would need to tie of 4 blockers for those 2
Banks Marshall Carson. Collins. Damn I could’ve played the other cb and still win a sb

Handley
Flowers
Most of Reese’s 3rd rd picks
Dave Thomas at cb?

go on a list? I always hated how every year we kept expecting him to get it....he never got it.

but two guys who impressed in their very limited appearances as not being ready for prime time were Frank Unnecessary Roughness Ferrara, and Jeff What Were They Thinkin' Hatch, a 3rd round OT who never should have walked on an NFL field and was a training camp victim of said Frankie The Hammer.

And there was a DB who was lightening fast and played lights out, but who always committed a penalty at the worst possible time, though his name eludes me.

Just a totally incompetent player...but Ian Allen had him beat, imo!

said the guy juiced to the gills. Probably why looked so good against a lot of guys who weren't juicing.

Erick Flowers
Matt Dodge
Trey Junkin
Dave Brown

If we allow non-players:

Frank Walker? Speaking of what were they thinking, you also had Rod Babers who did not make opening day roster after being 4th Round pick.

Ray Handley
Ben Macadoo
Dave Brown
Derek Brown

Honorable mentions: Trey Junkin, Rod Rust, Matt Dodge, Ereck Flowers, George Adams, Ron Dayne, Elvis Patterson, and maybe another wasted pick like Eli Apple

Virtually anyone who played on the 1966 team (except Spider Lockhart, Earl Morrall and Pete Gogolak). The rest of 'em couldn't beat The Little Sisters of Charity. Topping them all was Allie Sherman --who destroyed a championship caliber team with bad trades and draft choices.

which would have been a compliment if he was a receiver. Unfortunately he was a left tackle and possibly the only player in history worse than Eric Flowers. Rounding out my list: CC Brown and Steve Brown (who once had 8 interceptions despite being unable to cover himself)

Yes, thanks, Walker was the guy. Ran a 4.33 40. 6th round pick. Didn't realize he went through 5 other NFL teams before the end. He tantalized with his athletic ability, but it was his knack for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, doing the wrong thing which eventually did him in.

Seems like your beef is with 1965 Giants management not with Frederickson who most certainly doesn't belong in this list.

Why McAdoo? Sure, he had no personality, his hair was weird, and his suit was rumpled, but the Giants did make the playoffs under him as I recall.
