I would call Trent Richardson a bust at this point. Great college career but NFL work aint gonna last very long and then he will have to depend on that Bama education he got...

We're only talking about college here. In college he was the man.

NFL bust based on his 1st round selection? Absolutely. But this is a list to evaluate college careers, how well their colleges developed them and whether a 5 star ranking translated into a high draft pick for these kids. There is no way you can say that Rivals "messed up" by giving Trent 5 stars when he was a college star, Heisman candidate, and #3 overall pick. If you want to make a list of SEC 1st rounders and their NFL success, feel free.

He may be an absolute bust as far as the Colts are concerned, but who cares? I don't think that's what the purpose is here. He was an absolute boom for Bama and was a first round pick. What they do after that is on them. For recruiting purposes re: what Bama can tell potential 5 star recruits, he's an absolute boom.
14 five star picks...50% of them become NFL first round draft picks. No other school can touch those results.
