All the OOFs for having 4 out of 50.

 

[Stout]

Cannot agree with the Wadsworth one. Injuries derailed him. How Wendell Bryant isn't on this list instead is baffling.

I'm actually surprised it is only 4.

Jonathan Cooper is another.

 

[Stout]

Jonathan Cooper is another.

Oh yes. Injuries to him as well, though.

 

[BritCard]

Oh yes. Injuries to him as well, though.

It's all going to change now though right? RIGHT?

The draft busts you mean?

Leeland "Electric" McElroy gets and honorable mention although he was 2nd rounder.

The draft busts you mean?

Yeah

 

[Dayman]

Tommy Knight was robbed.

 

[Stout]

Tommy Knight was robbed.

Being on the list just kind of slipped through his fingers. Guess he couldn't handle the coverage.

This comment is a bust! Way to reach here!

But seriously, Tony Gonzalez went a few picks later.

Murray must be #51

Agree Wadsworth didn't fail as a player, injuries took him down. Ki Jana Carter was another who fell to injuries. I don't feel injuries should factor into biggest busts lists.

No. Copper was soft and never would’ve made it. When we drafted him and the first thing he wanted to talk about was his love of music and the clarinet, I knew we were screwed.
