Twenty Biggest Draft BustsNice list collegegrl. There are 8 QBs on the list which says to me maybe drafting a QB with your number one pick is very risky. QBs usually take longer to develop and it is harder to tell how they will do at the Pro level. But if you need one, it is hard to win the SuperBowl without a good QB. Ask the Bears.

Twenty Biggest Draft BustsYou do all the work, and the community critiques. Good deal (for us hehe). A list like this is hard to do because all of the players are easy to forget. Another running back worthy of the list is Charles White drafted by the Browns with the 27th pick in the first round in 1980. A hiesman trophey winner while at USC, he floundered in his first four years with the Browns only collecting 942 yards with a meager 3.4 yards per carry and 11 TD's for all four years. He later admitted to a cocaine addiction during this portion of his career He then played three years for the LA Rams. Although he had a probowl year in his final year as a pro in 1987 with 1,387 yards and 11 TD's, it was too little too late to salvage a miserable NFL career. What's your major collegegrl? |
