Who Are The Most Notable NFL Busts In Last 5yrs?

[seldomseen]

I know someone fairly connected in football world and he told me Trubisky will get a starting job next year. No clue how true that is but not something I expected to hear.

Tend to agree. I think him and Mariotta are going to garner some interest in the offseason.

Too many to name but Mitch is up there

Kind of tough to say someone drafted in the last 2 years in a bust. Shit Eli Apple was a top 10 pick. Fournette going 4th overall and Barkley going 2nd you were never going to get return of value for those guys. Put those more on the incompetency of Caldwell and Gettlemen. Almost forget Aguayo went in the 2nd in 2016 (?). That might be the worst pick of the last 5 yrs.

Are you calling fournette a bust ?
Eli Apple also playing good ball for the bengals right now

More that he wasn't worth the draft pick then an outright bust. He's having the best season of his career right now. Does he offer that much value over the baseline that you would give up the 4th overall pick for?

Apple has been playing well the last 3 weeks. In my mind that's not enough to offset the totality of the season or his career where he has been bad. I seriously doubt OCs are up late night worrying how to game plan around him.

devin bush well on his way to becoming a top 10 bust and they moved up to get him trading 3 high draft picks to move to #10. Last I saw PFF had him rated #80 of 83 middle LB. Dude is brutally slow, misses tackles, and can't cover backs or tight ends.

Clowney
Dwayne Haskins
Corey Coleman

and that kicker Aguayo that went to TB, he turned out to be a huge bust

Dave Gettleman.

Clowney
Dwayne Haskins
Corey Coleman

i don't get the clowney thing. he's never been TJ or JJ Watt but 8-yr starter with 3 or 4 pro bowls isn't a bust

haskins for sure and also makes me remember paxton lynch as both have been 3rd QB and practice QB for the steelers last few years. nfl has since gone away from their salivating over 6-5"-6'7" QB and gone after the more mobile kids even at 6' or under

i don't know the name corey coleman so i guess he would be a bust

 

[VIEJODINOSAUR]

Darnold and Rosen for sure…

 

[Railbird]

Fields, Haskins, Stafford

 

[HotRocks]

I guess there is an argument for Clowney, it really wasn't his performance cause when he plays healthy aka full strength, he is a beast, but being sidelined with injuries and playing with injuries really got the best of him

Corey Coleman was that speedy WR out of Baylor, had almost 1400 yrds and 20 TDs his last year and was drafted top 20 by the Browns, he's bounced around the league for the past 4 yrs, I think he plays for Giants now
