Who are these busts you are talking about? How do you define bust?

Andre Smith - no, been one of the most solid RT and I believe signed contract extension making highest paid RT?
R. McClain - yes...idiot
K.Jackson- hasn't been great but started every year
Dareus -No,pro bowl
Julio-No,pro bowl
J.Carpenter -started Super Bowl
Ingram -4.1ypc career, near 5ypc last year
T.Richardson - yes,based on last year
Barron-no,started every game
Kirkpatrick-TBD,got to start at end of year and had a couple of picks
Hightower,no. started every game
Milliner,TBD.not a good rookie year but finished year strong
Warmack, no started every game
Fluker, no started every game


I don't see many busts. FWIW, I don't define busts by Pro Bowl appearances. Being a starter in the NFL is not a bust.

In comparison, if you go look at past first round picks, you don't find many pro bowlers. In fact, the bust ratio for first round picks is about 50/50.
