Ennjay Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Hard to beat Ryan Leaf or Jamarcus Russell for biggest bust ever. They were first picks (Leaf overall #2, Russell #1) back when rookie salaries weren't capped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metzelaars_lives Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 (edited) Of course not. Young people have to stop throwing around "ever" so haphazardly. And I'm only 38. For one, he's not that big of a draft bust because no one even thought he was that good to begin with. This I will say- that was the worst first round draft since I've been following football and it's not even close. And the thing is, everyone knew it then too. Maybe worst trade up to draft a guy.

Plus Mike Williams because personally im still peeved about that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. On the whole thing. That said I think that Jamarcus has a chance at the title given that he went #1, got one of the richest deals in draft history (which he held out into the season to get)... and then was a lazy drug using gambler. He also was followed by Calvin Johnson, joe Thomas and a few picks later Adrian Peterson so there were some all time talents on the board too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mannc Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 (edited) Taking into consideration what the Redskins gave up for him, RGIII deserves serious consideration for biggest bust ever. He did play one decent season of football though. Bonus Question: Guess which AFC East team Ryan Leaf beat in his NFL debut?

dgrochester55 Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Jordan is a big time draft bust, but I would like others have to say Russell and Leaf are the two worst, at least in the modern era. Jordan is Miami's version of Maybin. Both were drafted much earlier than they should have been. Each of them virtually did nothing for their team and both had character issues. Based on being a #3 pick, Jordan would have to rank higher on the bust list than Maybin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Yes. 3rd overall pick. Traded up to get him. Zero production. Started one game for fish in 4 years. Now waived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
