I mean he still had some really nice plays and a few REALLY good games (I'll never forget that one Cowboys game in 2004 on MNF) ... but never was able to put it all together and dropped some REALLY bad balls...but again I wouldnt mark him as a complete and total bust.....
You have to take Westbrook over Ramsey just because he was picked so high. You can't miss at #4 and you look at some of the guys taken behind him, notably Joey Galloway and Warren Sapp, and you have to take opportunity costs into account. Westbrook was always a supreme talent, but only played 16 games twice (1999 and 2001) and only had one very good season as a pro (not coincidentally, 1999). He put up some semi-decent numbers for a 2nd or 3rd receiver but was never a #1, which you have to get a #4 overall.
