Rickey Williams - Failure Museum

In 1999, Mike Ditka of the New Orleans Saints moved up in the NFL draft from the 12th to the 5th pick so he could select Ricky Williams. To do so, his team traded every pick it had in the 1999 draft, plus two of its first three picks in the 2000 NFL Draft. The Saints struggled in the 1999 season and Ditka was fired, while Williams only played three season for the Saints.
