I did not believe in Clausen, but injuries can rob any player of their career. Locker, Okudah, Luck, Courtney Brown, etc., etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rumors were out there well before the draft in regards to Blackmon’s problems. Usually it goes that way. Darron Lee (tOSU, Jest) is another example. Sometimes you can get the kid some help and he takes it and surprises you though. Tyrann Mathieu certainly turned his life around. Where in the draft a team takes chances like that matter a lot obviously. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CookieG Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Actually 2 came from the same team in the same year. Sedrick Ellis and Keith Rivers, 2008. Ellis didn't have a great 40 time, but he had a great senior year and was basically unblockable at the Senior Bowl. RIvers could fly and I thought he was going to be a Derrick Brooks. But then, 2008 was the year of the Top 10 defensive bust. Glenn Dorsey Vernon Gholston (sp.) Ellis Derrick Harvey Rivers Were all taken at spots 5-9 of that draft. But it was Ellis and Rivers that I thought would shine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expected he would have a 10+ year career with some pro bowls appearances and all-pro selections. And he was supposed to be the safest pick in the draft.

Albany,n.y. Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 (edited) JP Losman. Back in 2004 I used to study the draft a lot more than I now do & I would put together a draft board & draft the same time as the Bills. I "drafted" JP at pick 13 & cheered when the Bills traded up for him. Then I doubled down & brought two pieces of paper to a game, onewith J & one with P & when Bledsoe made a bad play I would chant J P and hold up the letters to match my chant.

He killed it at USC and I was ecstatic when the Bills picked him. Not bad but never a star. To call him a bust you must have expected him to be top 5 every year. He is top 25 in total receiving yards since joining the league, with two 1100+ yard seasons while being a great down field blocker. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but he has made a final career for himself in the league This is where I view it differently. I’d say that not living up to one’s draft selection is the exact definition of bust. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
