Can't resist. It's time. We do it every year. Name the two players you are sure will be drafted in round 1 and will likely bust. Two players only. I'll be stupid #1.

Likely busts:

1. OT Andre Smith, Alabama
2. RB Beanie Wells, Ohio State

Stafford's TD/INT ratio in college is a concern. He wasn't exactly setting the world on fire with that... but he wins and has a strong arm.

Those would be my picks as well. Although I'm wondering if teams aren't so leary of being the team that drafts Smith in the firsrt and everyone says "HOW COULD THEY NOT KNOW HE DOESN'T HAVE HIS HEART AND HEAD IN THE GAME?" that he falls into the 2nd round.

Honestly, I would maybe throw a 4th rounder at the guy but not anything before that. Too many questions vs his ability.

1. Beanie Wells
2. Matt Stafford
3. Mark Sanchez
4. Michael Johnson
5. Malcolm Jenkins (if not in cover/tampa 2 or FS)
6. Andre Smith
7. Darius Heyward-Bey

I can go on. This is probably the best time to not have a top 20 pick.

I know the TS said pick 2 people, but there will be a lot of busts in this draft.

Busts

Mark Sanchez
Brian Orakpo
B.J. Raji
Matt Stafford
Chris Wells

Possible Pro Bowl bound depending on what teams draft them.

Percy Harvin ( best WR in the draft )
Rey Maualuga
Michael Crabtree
Alex Mack
Andre Smith ( Horrible combine, but best feet out of all OL this year and longest reach ) The combine I think humbled the man.

Oh god no. He's not polished enough to be an NFL receiver. He didn't run a route tree in Florida and didn't run routes in the combine so that is a honking massive red flag, and injury concerns are another..

The injuries are a concern, but he is a game breaker. The games I watched this year he seemed to run good routes. He is more of a RB/WR with great speed and vision.

Or they could put on the game tape and see he's easily the tackle in the draft.

Granted I haven't met these men.

Andre Smith - looks lazy, poor work ethic(those workout videos were a joke)
Aaron Maybin - Too small, only a marginal pass rusher, he'll be ran into 3rd down duty only.

I don't like threads like these because it feels like we're encouraging them to fail..... but I'll play along.

Josh Freeman
- Not because I don't feel that he's talented - on the contrary, I love him. Underclassmen QBs have a higher rate of failure as it is, but he has inconsistent mechanics, makes questionable decisions and hasn't exactly shown up when playing top competition in college like Stafford and Sanchez have. Whoever drafts him will thrust him into the fire too early when he'll need the first year or two to properly develop.

Vontae Davis -
More athlete than corner and gives off a DeAngelo Hall-type aura with the way he gambles and freelances in coverage.
