After one year? Surely you jest.
Not at all. I just said in the other thread that Claiborne and milliner are both is bad systems (for their strengths) and both are underperforming, and will continue to do so, until they move on to other teams. I think both guys will end up having good careers if they get into the right system and can stay healthy

I just realized Claiborne has been in the league for 2 years. Put him in the group with Trent and Dre Kirk.
At the end of last season, it looked like the lights were beginning to turn on for Milliner. He had three interceptions in the final two games and was named NFL Defensive Rookie of the Month. Calling him a bust is extremely premature.

Wouldn't that be the very definition of mitigating circumstances for Claiborne and Milliner, though? "Bust" is highly pejorative, so labeling someone thusly because of a draft process they had no control over landing them on a team they don't fit well into tends to contraindicate the term "bust" until they've proven they just aren't that good in general. It's like all those players who disappeared into the gaping black hole that is Oakland over the years -- they were hamstrung from the very beginning.
