Still, Ditka's decision to draft the physical interior lineman with the No. 10 pick was a shocker. In the past 24 years, Naeole is still the only true guard to be selected that high in the NFL draft. He probably would have gone down as Ditka's most infamous draft choice, had it not been for Kyle Turley in 1998 and Ricky Williams in 1999.

Interesting tidbit from the article as well.
"Corner is a position at which teams rarely strike gold in the lower rounds. Over the last 10 years, only three corners selected after the third round have made the Pro Bowl: fourth-rounders Samuel and Nathan Vasher, and sixth-rounder Al Harris."

My favorite quote:
Ditka really was bad. He had at least 3 bad drafts that probably would go down as the worst for any other coach, but he had THREE of them. Good coach, bad GM.
Naole was a terrible pick... Alan Faneca was picked @ 22 of the same draft...
