who is your big bust in the NFL draft

[Jetstream Green]

My best friend whose nephew plays at Baylor had lunch with Griffin, and play on the field removed...he said Griffin was one of the most humble and confident individuals he ever met and my friend holds a important position as a top marketing manager with a major financial group. He is a Texas EX and his loyalties are burnt orange, so when he says the guy's character is something special, I believe him.

I think RG III is going to be very successful in the NFL. I don't know if he'll be worth 3 one's and a two but very few players are. To me, he's only a bust if he falls well short of the normal expectations for a guy drafted with the 2nd pick. Barring injury, I think it's almost impossible for this guy to go bust. He has all the measurables, he can make all the throws, PLUS he has integrity, work ethic and he clearly understands the game. If I were picking for the Colts, I'd draft him ahead of Luck and I consider Luck to be one of the safest picks ever. I just think Griffin's ceiling is higher.

My bust pick would be either Coples or Poe. I know a lot of people are high on Kendall Wright and while I wouldn't call him a bust, I don't think he'll be anything special at the next level. Tannehill would be a gamble in the third round, so if someone takes him before that he'll headline the bust group.

Actually Texas hasn't played stellar defense in a long time. Like you point out you can go back to most of their games against top opponents the last 10 years and you'll see high scores by both teams. They've been very much like the Cardinals the past few years. An offense that carried the team for several years, lost their QB, fell off the charts for a season, and rebounded with the Defense carrying the team in 2011.

Odd thing is their individual players do well in the NFL and their Defensive Coordinators become SEC head coaches.

that may be true maybe i should have went back further. Although they have had some years where the defense was very strong and have a lot of great players from that side of the ball in the NFL. I think the last 2 years they have been more disappointing... I think the year they won the national title they had a very strong defense. I throw out the national title game because they were playing against a historic USC offense.

yeah what's up with this Poe guy? is he just there because of his 40 time? I don't know much about him at all. I do know dallas needs a hoss nose tackle and he could be on their radar. But I would be scared that he might be a bust if he wasn't dominant in college at Memphis in a weaker conference?

as far as griffen I mostly agree with agree with you about him personally. However, I do think that busting for a QB can sometimes be a dual process. The player and the team that he goes to.

I'll go with RG3. Let's say he's the next Vince Young. Would have been a crazy statement in 2006 too.

 

[RugbyMuffin]

Biggest bust? Martin. And I'm scared we'll draft him.

+1.

Mike Adams, and Jonathan Martin.

Two tackles that seems to be getting by on hype, association with good football teams they played on, and the college they went to.

I don't care if it is consider easy, but the way they are hyping this guy is beyond insane...I stay with Ryan Tannehill

Since Tannehill is rather well known I can see why one would select him. Some talking heads think he might not be a bad pick if you do not take him to early. Perhaps late second round if your team GM likes him for what ever reason. If he sticks in the NFL as a backup does that make him a bust? Bust can be a guy who just does not live up to his expected potential. Is Gabbert a bust? A lot was expected of Matt Leinart so based on that he was a gigantic bust. Yet to be decided is will Kolb be a bust? Going into his 5th season and still not a starter things are not looking good for him. I think this is his last year to prove himself or become some sort of permanent backup. If we had signed him for a 5th or 6th round pick he might not be considered a bust. Unfortunately we gave up a big ransom for him and expectations were he would be the QBOTF. Based on that he looks like a bust at this point. Was Jake the Snake a bust? It is sort of in the eye of the beholder in some cases.

Trrent rrichardson...

Trent Richardson is one of the last guys I would pick as a bust. You can see what a RB has in college. Is he strong? Is he fast? Does he have heart? Does he have moves? All these things are much easier to measure than what it takes to be a lineman or DB. Good RB's normally arrive in the NFL ready to do battle with little training. Trent Richardson is a very good RB and he will be the first one selected and likely be a top 5 pick. I see no way this guy is a bust as he ran wild in the SEC and for the national champion team. He is a real deal RB. He want be there when we select but if he were I would sprint up to the podium as he clearly would be the BPA. I see him as an all pro if he is on a good team.

I think we'll have numberous offers if Richardson falls that far. But so will the teams ahead of us 9-12. Someone is going to take this kid early.

Vick is really unlike any qb I've ever seen. If Rg3 is anywhere near the qb that vick is it will not be a bust.

I agree.

As an aside, the thing that I find most amazing about Vick is the effortless way he throws the ball. Seems like he just flicks his wrist and the ball looks like it's shot out of a cannon.

Hmmm Pretty much the same was said here about Cadillac Willimas & Ronnie Brown coming out of the SEC

I don't think Richardson will bust, but I also don't think he will be anything special as an NFL RB. IMO he runs stiff & while he has some moves they aren't as quick & deliberate as say a Barry Sanders or Peterson. We'll see...

BTW I see no way he goes top 5 & probably top 15 given the way RB's are used today.

yeah the dude has a rifle. he isn't always the most accurate guy, but neither was donovan and he won a lot of games with philly too. Imagine RG3 playing for andy reid..yikes.

I watched vick at cowboys stadium last year. he's even more electric live than on tv. I really wish he would have had it all together(before he came to philly LOL). He could have been one of the all time greats. I've been critical of him the person and his work ethic, but as a player he deserves a fair shake. he is very good.
