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.

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.
