Phipps, the Browns didn't trade a Hall of Famer to get Couch.

Couch reached 3 first but Phipps got more votes overall. They'll both move on to the next round. Match 12: The Battle of the Sims  1982 Draft: New England Patriots: Round 1 Pick 1
Kenneth Sims: DE: TexasPlayed for: New England Patriots (1982-1989) Previously Defeated: Jason Peter; Eric Crouch; Andre Wadsworth. From Scout.com: Sims is the grand-daddy of all draft disappointments in Patriots history. He could never quite live up to the expectations of being the first overall pick in the 1982 NFL Draft. He only played one full season in eight total seasons with the Patriots. His best year came in 1985 when the Patriots went to the franchise's first Super Bowl when he had 5.5 sacks. He finished with only 16 sacks in his career.
Sims fell far short of the team's expectations, not because he didn't try; it was because he didn't like to practice hard. Sims garners an inauspicious nickname of "Game Day." The name derived from his lack of work habits on the practice field and he later was quoted by sports writers as saying "I'll be there on game day," hence the nickname. Did I mention he had only 16 sacks in 8 years? He didn't show up on "game day" either.
To follow up his lack of hustle and production, Sims was arrested and charged with possession of cocaine in Austin, Texas during the summer of 1990. The Patriots released Sims shortly after the arrest just prior to the 1990 season when he came to camp overweight and out of shape.
Ironically, the Patriots drafted Hall of Fame linebacker Andre Tippett during the 1982 draft in the 2nd round (41st overall). It only took the Pats 40 picks after taking Sims before they got one right.

 2002 Draft: Kansas City Chiefs: Round 1 Pick 6
Ryan Sims: DT: North CarolinaPlayed for: Kansas City Chiefs (2002-2006), Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2007-Current) Previously Defeated: Tommy Vardell; Trung Canidate. From Chiefs Crowd: Ryan Sims was a great Defensive Tackle for the University Of North Carolina, and so the defensively weak Kansas City Chiefs thought this would be a wise first round pick, and would bring some strength to their week defensive line. In Sims 5 seasons with the Chiefs, he amassed 74 Tackles, 5 sacks, 1 forced fumble, and 1 interception. After four seasons of his lackluster play, then coach Herm Edwards dramatically cut Sims playing time, and the next season he was traded to The Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This 6th overall pick in the 2002 draft is a perfect example of how a top ten draft pick does not necessarily mean a great player.

Kenneth Sims advances. Match 13:  1970 Draft: St. Louis Cardinals: Round 1 Pick 8
Larry Stegent: RB: Texas A&MPlayed for: St. Louis Cardinals (1970-1971) Previously Defeated: Sammie Smith; Butch Woolfolk; Patrick Ramsey. From Yahoo Sports: | This has actually been a pretty solid pick historically, forgetting that David Terrell hasn't really done much. Normally, you don't rip a pick because of injury, but Stegent is about as bad as it gets. He played in seven games after his injury for the Cardinals and registered one catch – one – for 12 yards. That, folks, was his NFL career. Let's recap: one season, one catch, one injury. Done! That's some serious disappointment. |
 1983 Draft: Kansas City Chiefs: Round 1 Pick 7
Todd Blackledge: QB: Penn StatePlayed for: Kansas City Chiefs (1983-1987), Pittsburgh Steelers (1988-1989) Previously Defeated: John Copeland; Jerry Tagge. From Sports Illustrated: | Consider this: in the 1983 NFL Draft, Blackledge was the second quarterback selected, behind only the No. 1 pick, John Elway. After Blackledge went to the Chiefs at No. 7, four other quarterbacks were drafted in the first round: Jim Kelly, Tony Eason, Ken O'Brien and Dan Marino. Three of those first-rounders went on to have Hall of Fame careers, and four reached at least one Super Bowl. Blackledge, however, never started more than eight games in a season for the Chiefs before ending his career as a backup with the Steelers. |
