Odds are that whoever Jax, Oak, and Clev pick have a better chance as being a BUST.

Just going off what most "experts" have said about who will go in the 1st round, I would put the busts in this order from most likely to bust to least:

1. Bridgewater (dude has played NOBODY)

2. Bortles (see above)

3. JFF (see above.....

)

4. Bwaa Ha Clinton-Dix (all Cowboys drafts are busts)

5. Clowney (only because the expectations are so high)

6. C. J. Mosley

7. Marqise Lee

Least likely to bust:

1. Cyrus Kouandjio

2. Greg Robinson

3. Jake Matthews (high expectations keep him out of #1)

4. Anthony Barr

5. Dee Ford

6. Mike Evans

7. Marcus Roberson

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? Drafted sixth overall at LT and then moved to RT with no pro bowls? Bust.
R. McClain - yes...idiot Bust
K.Jackson- hasn't been great but started every year He wouldn't be playing right now if they hadn't wasted a first round pick on him. Not a good player.
Dareus -No,pro bowl
Julio-No,pro bowl
J.Carpenter -started Super Bowl
Ingram -4.1ypc career, near 5ypc last year Bust
T.Richardson - yes,based on last year Bust
Barron-no,started every game
Kirkpatrick-TBD,got to start at end of year and had a couple of picks Bust
Hightower,no. started every game
Milliner,TBD.not a good rookie year but finished year strong Bust thus far
Warmack, no started every game
Fluker, no started every game

7 out of 14 are strong busts. Only 3 or 4 are good players.

Bortles

Kelvin Benjamin

Bradley Roby

Greg Robinson ....only if a team plays him at LT too early....if a team sticks him at LT, not sure he is ready to handle that for 16 weeks as a rook. Pass pro isnt that good yet. Keep him at RT for a year then flip him to the left ala how the Panthers handle Jordan Gross

This is hilarious.

Pro Football Focus listed Andre Smith as the best right tackle in football last year. I guess they should trade him right now for a LT because that's the only position on the offensive line.

Kirkpatrick ended this season with 2 picks and a touchdown after being hurt much of last season and this.

Milliner was named the AFC Rookie of the Month in December to finish the season. Just because the guy isn't Darelle Revis doesn't make him a bust, he will be a great NFL corner.

Sheesh, if you were a GM I guess you would get rid of Peyton Manning after his rookie year, right?

So we have to first predict the first round, and then predict the bust? I bet no one predicts it right

I guess if we're doing this for realz, I think Zach Martin out of ND will be a bust. Will probably be drafted in the 20's somewhere to possibly play left or right tackle. I don't believe he will cut it in the NFL. Short arms will keep him from playing outside and isn't powerful enough to play inside.

All true but the biggest reason he wont be a bust is, that he aint going in the 1st round, unless he improves stock at his Pro Day

Kirkpatrick is below average. Two picks against the Ravens doesn't change that.

Andre Smith hasn't met expectations, no matter now you spin it.

Milliner isn't Peyton Manning, and he isn't a QB. A more apt comparison would be Ryan Leaf.

Kirkpatrick hasn't had much of a chance to do anything because of injury. He misses tackles though.

So? It isn't his fault idiots put stupid expectations on him. He's one of the best, if not the best, RTs in the game. His position is RT.

Milliner missed some camp. He was a rookie at the hardest position to transition to in the NFL. The way he finished the season is a good sign of things to come.
