Auburn 1st round picks since 2012 graded
2014 #2 pick : Greg Robinson, tackle, #77 (30.3) - below replacement (5th worst starting tackle in the NFL per PFF)
2014 #23 pick : Dee Ford, edge rush, #104 (46.3) - below replacement (7th worst edge rusher in the NFL per PFF)
Who would say has the higher bust rate the last few years? I'd say 100% would be hard to top.

Look at the Carolina Panthers first ground picks in the last 5 years to see what a successful first round draft pick looks like:
2011- Cam Neeton
2012- Luke Kuechly
2013- Star L
2014- Kelvin Benjamin
2015- Shaq Thompson
Cam, Kuechly, and Kelvin Benjamin are basically pro bowl level players. Star L is just below that. Shaq Thompson didn't get s ton of playing time as a rookie because the Panthers are already in pretty good shape at linebacker. However, he looked pretty good when he did play and looks to be a good pick for the future.
Those players are light years better than most of bammers first round picks
