With the draft coming up this week it's time to address the biggest SEC busts in NFL history.

Jamarcus Russell-LSU (2007 Draft Round 1 Pick 1)
Tim Couch-UK (1999 Draft Round 1 Pick 1)
Heath Shuler-Tenn (1994 Draft Round 1 Pick 3)
Keith McCants-Bama (1990 Draft Round 1 Pick 4)
Aundray Bruce-AU (1988 Draft Round 1 Pick 1)
Dewayne Robertson-UK (2003 Draft Round 1 Pick 4)
Troy Williamson-USC (2005 Round 1 Pick 7)

Who else belongs on this list?

I'm still waiting to see if this "Cam Newton" fellow pans out. 1st pick last year, and he may not pan out.

Arky - Matt Jones 2005, round 1, pick 21
Florida - Derrick Harvey, 2008, round 1, pick 8
Kentucky - Tim Couch (mentioned in OP)
LSU - Jamarcus Russell (mentioned in OP)
Missouri - Blaine Gabbert 2011, round 1, pick 10
South Carolina - Troy Williamson, 2008, round 1, pick 7

Tannehill has been labeled a bust before the draft has even occurred. Not sure if that counts

Jamarcus Russell beat Jon Gruden and put him out of the league, if not made him quit. So therefore he is not at the top of the list for biggest bust ever.
