Your kidding right? Sharpe seventh round pick went on to be the all time TE TD sixth round pick rushed for over 2000 yards cut short by injury.

"Cade McNown never did much, but he DID date a Playboy model."
I guess that makes him automatically better than Ryan Leaf!

Hey--Where's Priest? Didn't he get drafted in the 7th round? Or did he just get signed as a free agent?
And where the hell is Ryan Leaf? I didn't see him on the bust list. |

Man, the Colts really don't know how to draft..ha ha Almost half of the busts are former Colts players.

I disagree with labelling chronically injured players "busts".
Guys like KiJana Carter etc. whose talent was undermined by their inability to stay healthy are not busts, IMO. Busts are the guys whose talent was paired with an equal degree of immaturity and nonchalance, like Ryan Leaf. Or guys who were just flat-out overrated by the teams involved, like Trezelle Jenkins or Akili Smith. JMO |

If the team invests a draft pick, signing bonus, CAP space, and roster spot on that player and never receives a return on the investment, then he is a bust. |
