What NFL Draft Busts suprised you the most?
 

I wanted this in the lounge so I could get more looks. Who were some sure fire college players you thought would be great who weren't?



Some that really suprised me:


Vernon Gholston; he was dang near unblockable his last year at O-State, when he was matched up against Jake Long he absolutely dominated him. I was really suprised to see how bad he did in the League.

Taylor Mays; I never cared for the kid, but I honestly thought he would be a baller and boy was I off.

Big Daddy Dan Wilkinson; He is one of the first players I watched that I could actually tell was dominating. At Ohio State he was unblockable, he fizzled out in Cinci (common theme), but he bounced around and never made himself a name.

There's plenty more, but that's enough for now.

I guess bust maybe more than I intended, this should include someone who didn't perform as well as you thought they would have.


Carson Palmer was another let down IMO.

AJ Hawk, I thought that kid would dominate in the league, he has done very well, but he had hardly the impact I thought he would.

Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III

For a chiefs fan to start this thread you must be into self torture.

I'll get flamed for this, but I'm going with Adrian Peterson. He was SO much better than everyone around him in college. While he has had a few years where he was awesome in the NFL, I was really expecting him to be the next Emmitt Smith who was great for a LONG time.

Ryan Leaf, that kid had such a fantastic arm

It's not like Peterson is out of the league or anything... The guy is still doing it....

Probably this "bust"

Well that's just unrealistic in today's NFL. The position just takes too much of a beating. Particular for a power back. AP has been great.

Emmitt Smith's record might not ever be broken.

Not flaming you, but just imagine AP running behind the lines that Emmitt did. Yes Emmitt was great, but i don't even think he was the best back of his time.

Robert Gallery.

I knew he was going to be the next great LT. Oops.
