That's EIGHT picks for one player.
That's why he's not only a bust, he's one of the most monumental busts in NFL history. You can't even discuss him the same way you discuss other picks. Because a team traded their entire draft for him. You don't do that for a guy who gets suspended twice and spends a year playing in canada, a guy who only once in 9 years surpassed 1500 yards and/or 10 TDs.

What someone gave up to get a player has nothing to do with whether or not a player is a bust. Again, you don't understand the difference between busts and disappointments.
If Bill Gates buys an NFL franchise in 2010, which turns out to be an uncapped year, and he pays $10 Billion to get Matt Cassell and Matt Cassell wins him 2 Super Bowls, you would be spouting, "Cassell is a bust. For $10 billion, he should have won 811 Super Bowls." Fortunately, your stupidity would be difficult to understand, as it's difficult to enunciate while licking a window.
