He's a bust as a #3 pick.
Not a bust as a player. Solid player.

You are beating it to death and for no reason. Going into that draft, we as fans knew our options were extremely limited. Replace Albert at LT, take Raji, a pass rusher we were all skeptical of, or the safe pick in Jackson. We also knew we would like to have traded down, but it wasn't an option.
Given how things turned out for the other guys, and that draft as a whole, we did damned good.
You act as though all #3 overalls are equal in value they are not. That year, there weren't 10 players deserving of a top 10 pick, we were screwed. Whereas this past drafts #3 was extremely valuable b/c of the talent available. Hell, in 2010, 5th round picks were worth the moon.
STOP BLABBING ABOUT IT! HE'S NOT A BUST! No matter how you slice it. It was a solid pick and amounted to more than most picks in that draft did in relationship to their draft position.
