To get him, the Packers gave up first-, second- and third-round choices in the next draft, and a first and second choice in 1976.   John Hadl was a good player, just that he was at the very end of his career. He started all but 3 games the season before. This was probably one of the worst trades in NFL history. My list of the failed players would be:    1. Mandrich - Biggest bust in NFL history (by far) 2. Hadl - Reasons stated above3. Bruce Clark - Said before the draft - "if the Packer take me, I won't play for them - I will go to Canada." Packers took him 4th overall, he never engaged in contract negotiations and just signed with Toronto Argonauts. Can't blame Clark, I guess, this is more of a stupidest Packer Pick ever. 4. Rich Campbell. THis one bugs me the most. A quote on the first day of practice by Zeke Bratkowski (offensive coordiantor) "The first day of practice I saw his throwing motion and my heart sank - I knew he would never play in the NFL" How the hell do you draft a player 6th overall and your OC never saw him throw a pass? Rich seemed like a great guy and a good football player - what chance did he have when his OC knows he will never play in the NFL?</blockquote>
