Brad Johnson was a 9th round pick? Wow. Guess that really couldn't be considered a bust, either. The other names on this list are good examples.

9th Round picks don't exactly count as busts.

Now that's a really good one.

We even had that joker for a while, and then let him go right before he exploded. You wonder what happened there. I remember seeing some show where they were attributing it to yoga training or something, but there had to be something else.

A "change of scenery" can make a difference. Draft position should not be a major factor in the success of moving to a new team. Unless it's a late round pick (or an undrafted player), which normally has marginal talent relevant to the rest of the league.

Tommy Maddux - First Round pick in Denver who was terrible. Years later he makes the playoffs in Pittsburgh after selling insurance...

Jimmy Smith - 2nd round pick in Dallas. Went on to be a badass in Jacksonville.

Bettis was really good with the Rams if I remember right. I don't recall why/how he left that team. (Hmm, in looking at his stats, he had a fantastic rookie year and then ran in mud his whole second year and tailed off his third year before leaving. I just remembered his fantastic rookie year. The Rams wanted to move him to fullback and he instead requested and got a dirt-cheap trade.)

Hearst is a good example. He was nothing in Arizona, despite being a "can't miss" prospect. That one really makes you wonder.
