Always one... rite?

Some dude getting all the praise leading up to the draft and then after a couple years turns out to be average at best and labeled the guy that was never worth is slot selection...

Anyone remember Dion Jordan?

Drafted 3rd overall with the Dolphins and waived after just 3 seasons, injuries, suspended etc.. just never panned out

Top 5 players most likely :

Kyler Murray- Not sold on dude- he'll be another RGIII and will leave the NFL for baseball after 5 years

Nick Bosa.. will have a great NFL career but more than likely the kinda player that misses a couple games a year

Josh Allen... see video below

Q. Williams.. will have a solid career, He wont be Suh, but still a solid DL that wont get mentioned much other than by the fans of the team he plays for-

Ed Oliver... Olive is exactly that player we see every year that slated in the 6-8 pick, usually 2nd-3rd rated at his position that ends up being a multi pro bowler and proving a handful of GM's wrong-

This is a great video about Josh Allen.... unbiased, not your typical hype highlight reel but instead a breakdown of dudes flaws...

 
I honestly think Hicks makes that defense nasty for Chicago. Not hating on Mack, Macks a stud I just think Hicks just brings a little more to that defense.

I think Q would have a impact like Hicks.
Maybe the better pass rusher.
 
Things Kyler Murray and RG3 have in common:

1. Black
2. Fast

Just a terrible, lazy comp.

If we’re force fitting a black QB that busted how about Troy Smith?

To be fair, Dion Jordan was a drug addict and that was what derailed his career. It's actually pretty damn impressive that he came back after three years of no football and turned into a decent role player for the Seahawks... he would've been our best pass rusher this year haha.

Having said that, I think Daniel Jones is going to be a big time bust. I tried liking him earlier in the process and he's just... bad. At his best he looks like Ryan Tannehill and that's not very often. I hope the Giants take him early and complete the shit show in the Big Apple with Gettleman ruining another franchise.

Rashan Gary is an easy one to pick. He'll go higher than he should but will be an afterthought in three years.

Andre Dillard might be another one. He needs a lot of work. Lots of talent but he's not even close to a finished product. If he starts right away I could see him getting worked Kolton style early on.

If I had to pick busts: Gary, Metcalf, Lock.
Guys who wouldn’t surprise as busts, but only because of physical limitations, Murray and brown.
Guys who probably will be better than draft slot: risner, winkovich, Bush, JJ arcega whiteside.

DK Metcalf...

This is Davante Parker all over again... only worked from one side of the formation... limited route tree... very straight line player

They showed a blurb on NFLN with Reggie Wayne or Steve Smith one of the WR guys and he ran 3 routes 70/80 percent of the time. Streak, post and dig. Calvin did this and made a HOF career, but its not the norm.

You gotta have at least a little bit of nuance and skill with some other routes in the NFL. He could hit big, but I wouldnt bet on it.

Thats a great comp... ya dun good
 
I agree. RGIII is way bigger than Murray, in both height and weight.

Among just about every other actual comparable factor.

Like I said, Troy Smith if you must.

Agree with PDX

Busts: Metcalf, Gary and Lock. I think Murray will be a good QB but only if he can stay healthy

Maybe Murray will grow another 3 inches and fatten up that skinny body. :rolleyes:
