I hear you Iso but to be fair, last year he looked like he was starting to make a contribution until he got walloped in the head and was essentially done for the year. Worst first rounder ever? I don't know...there's been some real stinkers, and for a lot of draft years, we never even had a first round pick. I think Pencer is more of a bust then Jade, as at least Jade saw the field.
Here's a walk down memory lane of some of our first round picks over the years:
2000 (second overall): Daaron McField, DL -- Lasted one season, never started and traded away in his second season.
1996 (fourth): Andrew Henry, DB: role player for two seasons.
1995 (sixth): Sean Graham, SB: Lasted three injury-plagued seasons.
1994 (fourth): Ryan Carey, DB: Special teams specialist.
1993 (fifth): Alan Wetmore, LB: Another special-teams guy.
1989 (eighth): John O'Brien, LB: Never played a single game in Blue and Gold.
1988 (third): Dan Wicklum, LB: Lasted one season before getting picked up by Calgary.
1987 (sixth): Andrew McConnell, DL: Never played for Bombers.
1986 (seventh): Brian Bellway, DL: Never played for Bombers.

The most amazing thing to me from that list is that we didn't have a single first round pick from 2001 through 2007!?!? Did we trade them all for starting Canadians? Please tell me we at least got Doug Brown for one of those.
1 word...... TAMAN.
