I had mentioned Jonathan Sullivan, but did anyone mention David Lafleur? I believe he was a can't miss TE coming out of college, am I not correct?

Yea but if you draft a HB in the top 5, you are expecting him to be an absolute star. Cadillac was an absolute bust.

He's a QB with 1 year of experience. Good Lord man.

He might turn out decent, but I'm gonna go ahead and call Andre Smith a bust. He has started a few games, but Cincinnati drafted him to anchor the RT spot with the expectation that he would be excellent and he has barely held the position.
Kareem Jackson will be a bust.

Aundray Bruce hands down. Tim Couch 2nd place.

I'm not sure how you can say Gabbert is a bust, he's only been in the league for one year, and on an awful team. People want QB's to come in and just dominate right away but it generally doesn't work like that, he could still end up being great.

I would also nominate Tyson Jackson. 3rd overall pick in 2009 and he has been terrible. Definitely a bust.
I was super surprised when he went that high, he was great at LSU when Dorsey was with him, he was good without Dorsey but you could tell the guy just didn't have the drive to be a beast in the NFL. This was a case of making a pick based on stats and not from getting to know a guy

Russell is probably number one, with Aundray Bruce second.
I'll also throw out Alvin Toles one of the Saints blunders.

I think we can make a ruling on that one

Nah, Anderson is still playing, and actually starting for the Colts.
If ur looking for a hog bust, you need to look back at Ahmad "Batman" Carrol. Packers took him in the first round and he only lasted 2-3 years there.

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.

Bo first overall to the Bucs.
Naw. Bo just wouldnt play for the Bucaneers. They sucked too bad.
Aundray Bruce was the biggest bust of all time from Auburn I am sorry to say. Great college player. Nothing in the pros. As an ATL fan, I was very disappointed.

Definitely not a bust. Not even close. As a Dolphins fan, I still have nightmares of him torching our secondary in Buffalo.
Sweet Jesus. By the time Peerless Price got to Atlanta he was a disaster area.

Rex Grossman. He was a first rounder.
Steve spurrier. 1st round, pick #3.
