Most Likely First Round Bust

Going with Sanchez. Eager to see how the tackle from Baylor plays as well. Matt Stafford has the talent of an expansion team around him(exception of C. Johnson), so him not performing wouldnt be a surprise, but not entirely his fault.

I was thinking the same thing. For the first tackle chosen, in the market he played in, I think he'll be a bust by his draft status only. Sure, he might start, but selected that high I can't see him being a linchpin of a line.

I have a lot of potential busts, but if I were to give you my 5 they would be:

1) heyward bey... High pick, bad team, ok in college (troy williamson?!?)
2) maybin...too thin, should of stayed a year in college
3) cushing... Injuries will hurt him
4) freeman, your arm is strong but your football iq isn't
5) kenny britt...never heard of you till the draft and isn't that fluid/ smooth when he plays

Honorable mention: Jason smith (tore ACL in college, and light weight), clay Matthews (didn't start at USC and was ok not a sack every time type player or good coverage guy now the pack want him to play OLB)

I think Matthew Stafford is gonna get killed in Detroit. He's my bust pick.

That is my pick too. He is going to be eating a lot of turf.

My picks

Top 5 Easy one's

1.- Matthew Stafford I just don't see it.. in all the college film I've seen he was just OK. he might end up being that Just OK but for the 1st pick he will never live up to the hype

2.- H-B Talk about a reach the guy wasn't even projected to be picked in the first round but Al doesn't think straight when he see's speed. Stupid pick the kid has no hands.

3.- Josh Freeman people get in-love with the new thing in the NFL no way he was worth a first round pick the kid is a Q.Carter waiting to happen.

4.- Vontae Davis no hips stiff as a rock they guy will get burned as a regular baisis

5.- Tyson Jackson smells like another Vernon Gholston another twinner LB that we ddin't knew nothing about until the combine. Over Hyped not too much production.

Special Bonus

Brian Orakpo look guys it didn't had too do anything with you guys picking this dude I didn't liked the player since I watched him and saw all the highlights and other reports. I see a guy with tons of talent not too much motivation just looking for the big Payday... for me he reminds me of Ebenezer Ekuban of Dallas or other players that looked like freaks of nature that could destroyed the other opposition but didn't... The fact is that at Texas he took a lot of plays off couldn't beat good LT and wasn't great Against the Run I said thsi before the draft in other boards before the pick came. Know that I'm going to get trashed but hey I always tell yo uguys like I See it I'm not goignt to stop now.

2nd round pick I like.

Maualuga, Rey -Cin I still don't know how Cushing and Matthews went before this guy he was the LB corps of USC for me he was the best ILB in the draft and he might be the next Rey Lewis to bad he got Cin as a home but man he was a freak at college and showed all the explosion you want in your ILB.

My understanding is that KC intends Jackson exclusively as a hand-down 3-4 DE, not as a tweener.

It is likely good for us to get a reality check regarding Orakpo. However, leaving the Redskins FO out of it, your views on him are not widely shared among non-Redskins evaluators. We'll see.

You mean the DE we drafted to play LB? I dont know if you could call him a bust when he is transitioning to a LB, he is more of a "project".

I would say the most likely first round "bust" would be the Cowgirls. They haven't won a playoff game in....12 or 13 years right? Of course that's assuming they even get that far.

The thread is most likely to bust and players that are transitioning from De to LB are most likely to bust also specially if they haven't shown they have that type of agility.

Example. NYG Mathias Kiwanuka (http://www.nfl.com/players/mathiaskiwanuka/profile?id=KIW059326) he was a DE moved to LB in the 4-3 not the 3-4 like Okampo and he has been bad to average at least. his best year came this past one when he played a lot of downs as DE because of Ozi Injury... but still not 1st round pick numbers.

I can't get upset w/DBoyz for his prediction of Orakpo. Fact is, predicting a 1st round DE will be a bust is about a 50/50 proposition. So many of them don't pan out or are just avg, so it's not as if he's making some bold prediction.

But the real reason I can't say too much about it, is that I had my doubts about Orakpo during the draft coverage. I watched him play some, but not a great deal. He never seemed a really dominant player. The one thing that's grown on me about him though is his IQ & character. Don't underestimate that, smart guys have foresight & will more than likely realize what they need to do to be successful.
