Who's the bust?

Every year someone takes one. Who do you think it's going to be? And don't throw out a second or third round projection, I want to know which guy who's going in the first half of the first round is going to sorely disappoint, and why do you think so?

To be honest I don't have a pipe lock bust for the first round this year like most. Speaks to the talent in this draft. I think there will probably be more guys drafted too early rather than out and out busts.

That doesn't mean there won't be (a) bust(s), mind you. There are a lot of guys with injury concerns and surely one of them will fall prey to the injury bug. Bradford is the most obvious culprit, but TE's like Gresham and especially Gronkowski present significant risk.

D-Line is usually fertile land for busts, and guys like Derek Harvey and Gholston were fairly easy to spot. Still they can always surprise. I was pretty sure Orakpo was going the way of most UT grads, but he had a very promising rookie campaign. I'd say Jason Pierre-Paul has a pretty good shot at being a bust and a very good chance at being way overdrafted. Still I can see him breaking out in 2-3 years to be a QB's worst nightmare.

There are three guys at OT that I can pretty much guarantee will produce one giant bust among them: Anthony Davis, Trent Williams and Bruce Campbell. I think Bulaga if picked in the top 10 he will be at the very least overdrafted. If Vladamir Ducasse goes in the first round as a tackle he will probably flop his way into being a decent to good Guard a la Leonard Davis.

Dez Bryant

He's big and Physical but he lack's 3 thing to be effective in NFL

-Speed

-Quickness

-Intelligence

those 3 are a must to be an elite WR.

Dez is plenty fast and quick enough but....

Guys like Andre Johnson and Brandon Marshall aren't the brightest in the world and Percy Harvin is widely regarded as being a bag of hammers.

Jerry Rice's lack of great foot speed is well documented.

True. But AJ and BM are freaks. They huge yet very athletic and super fast and quick.

I can see Dez Bryant being a bust due to lack of effort, but he is just as fast if not faster than Brandon Marshall and Larry Fitzgerald, who are regarded as two of the top five receivers in the league. I do agree though he isn't on par with Andre Johnson and probably Calvin Johnson who are just insane athletically.

    • It sounds like QB Tyler Slough is flying up the draft boards, he’s a bit older, but so was Nix, Penix etc. He might, just might, be someone teams want to trade up to get around where we pick 🤞
    • He's only stating the obvious. I always chuckle when someone says we can trade back like it is so easy.
