2016 NFL Draft’s biggest losers

These teams and players come out of draft weekend with plenty of issues and question marks to sort out.Watch on YouTube | Subscribe to SB Nation on YouTube

With the 2016 NFL Draft in the books, who has to be disappointed with how it all played out? The fiasco surrounding Laremy Tunsil’s viral weed-smoking video caused him to tumble down draft boards, costing him millions of dollars in the process.

Carson Wentz got a nice little intro to Eagles fans, who mercilessly booed him upon landing in Philadelphia. Get used to it, Wentz -- just wait until the first time you fail to convert a 3rd down.

The Buccaneers decided to trade up (!) to grab Florida State kicker Roberto Aguayo in the 2nd round. At least it’s not like Bryan Anger also now plays for Tampa as a daily reminder of the foolishness of taking a specialist in Day 2 of the draft.

The Cowboys added some talented football players with their first couple picks, but Ezekiel Elliott and Jaylon Smith are luxuries who won’t do anything to allay their dire need for competent pass rushers.
