why is tim couch 19th?
when you are taken number 1 overall and are not capable of being 3rd string 5 years later you should be in the top 5
reggie bush should be added to this list if he doesn't step up his game, when people say you will be "the michael jordan of football" and you're average at best that makes you a pretty big bust

every once in a while you still see someone with a sense of humor wearing a leaf jersey here in San Diego
-
Madden had Manderich on his all Madden team before he was drafted ;D
-
Maurice Clarett... ah, what could have been...
Dude had a terrific chance and he totally, completely blew it...

Nice list, I agree a little high on Couch. He played very well at times on a poor team.
-
LOL come on DAVID FVCKING CARR ought to be in the top 50 for sure man number one in the draft and hasnt done jack yet, relegated to 2nd or 3rd string he is the biggest waste of a number one draft pick I know of
-
Thank God for Lawrence Phillips, he was the reason we got the Bus. ;D
-
hhah poor Leaf, he is such a joke.
-
hhah poor Leaf, he is such a joke.
Can you imagine that some teams were thinking he would be better than Manning :o
-
Where's Bosworth? I loved it when Bo literally steamrolled over his ass, and in to the endzone................. ..classic
-
George Rogers,# 1 pick by the Saints.
the # 2 pick was Lawrence Taylor.the rest is history 8)
-
George Rogers was pretty good, though. Not exactly a bust. Still holds the Redskins single game rushing record of 221 yards.
But compared to LT..I get what you mean.
Suprised Desmond Howard wasn't on that list. Sure, he was a hell of return guy later in his career but he was definitely a bust as a wide receiver out of Michigan. He was selected at #4 in '92 by the Skins.
That's a high draft position for a WR who produced exactly DICK as a starting WR.

Giants took Ike Hilliard,wr,Florida at like #7.
not one of their better picks :-\
-
Hilliard is still playing in the league, though.
Going on 11 seasons now so he's not a complete bust.

True,not a complete bust.but stiil not a single pro-bowl in all that time.
-
When you consider how his career ended and the devestation he gave the franchise, I think Mike Vick deserves honorable mention.
-
I'd add Steve Emtman, Brian Bosworth, Peter Warrick, and Aundray Bruce. Wouldn't really include Desmond Howard. He wasn't as good as advertised, but winning a Super Bowl MVP keeps you out of the bust category IMO.

Aundray Bruce, another classic.
How about a kicker in the first round, Sebastian Janikowski. Taken ahead of Shawn Alexander. I think in time, Robert Gallery will be considered another epic bust.
-
David Terrell.
-
Giants have a nice list of first rounders that didn't pan out :-\
Dereck Brown
William Joseph
Ron Dayne
Cedric Jones
Tyrone Wheatly
-
Is "touchdown" Tommy Vardell on the top 50 list?
I think the guy had 6 touchdowns over an 8 year career.
-
How about Gino Torretta?

:o Forgot about that.
Agree about Gallery.

Definitely a bust.

Nah. He was a seventh round pick.
He should give his Heisman back. >:( Faulk should have won it.
-
How about Mark Malone. 28th pick of the 1980 draft. Taken ahead of Dwight Stephenson, Ray Donaldson, Matt Millen, Keena Turner, Joe Cribbs.
Also taken that year with the 26th pick, Charles White. What a bust.
-
Definitely a bust.
True, but received strong recommendations to make the pro bowl in 1994 as a fullback. That was the year that Barry Sanders rushed for over 2,000 yards. The only year that Sanders has ever run behind a fullback(Vardell) in the pros.
-
To me, Mandarich is the biggest bust of all time.
Tony "Juggs" Mandarich was considered the finest NFL lineman ever without playing a down. When he did play, he was terrible.
To think GB passed on Barry Sanders, Deion Sanders and Derrick Thomas.
Oh the horror...the horror...

Barry getting stuck in Detroit was just a crime (with no FB, TE, and a bad offense). He would have rushed for 20,000 yards if he played in Dallas instead of Detroit.

I still have the cover of SI with him on the cover as a senior. He was 6'6", 315, and ran a 4.6. A total chemical creation. Could not play without the sauce.

You mean you wern't a fan of the Mouse Davis Run and Shoot offense? Four wideouts, no FB on ever down where little wide receivers were forced to block for Barry Sanders on running plays? LOL! It was a good thing Barry could produce that yardage on his own most of the time.
Poor Barry. I bet he thought Detroit would be a playoff team for years when they made it to the NFC championship game during the '91 season. They lost to the Skins 41-10, oh by way. Guy should've been traded out of there after 5 seasons in Detroit. In today's NFL free agency, he could've caught on with another team.

That was such a retarded article. The amount of food he claimed he ate was all a bunch of bullshit. I remember when John Madden put him on the All-MAdden team back in 1988 when he was still a college senior at Michigan State. He many more All-Madden teams did John put Tony on when he made the pros? hmmmmm.
Mandarach was pathetic. Just an overhyped needle using douchebag who was exposed as a fraud in the pros.

What he did with that cast in that offense is nothing short of amazing. Best RB I've ever seen.

He was a monster at Michigan State. I remember him blocking a guy by putting his hand underneath the guy's face mask and driving him into the ground.
He turned out to be the flip side of Bosworth, without the marketing savvy.

This is the year that will tell whether or not Alex Smith belongs on that list.

Most definitely.

Ultimately Vince Young will be regarded as a bust.

Browns had some winners lately, Couch, Gerard Warren, Courtney Brown, William Green. :-X

i don't think so he was rookie of the year, made the pro bowl and playoffs

But it is case where pereception overcame reality. Eventually people will see the Vince Young mirage (hence my use of the word "Ultimately"). One need only look at his stats to see it coming. He has a career 69.0 QB rating and nine more interceptions than TDs (last year 9 TD and 17 ints). Joey Harrington last year had a QB rating which was 6 points higher than Young and Harrington is already considered a "bust."
Here are some of the other noted QBs, among numerous others, with a higher QB rating last year than the "great" Vince Young:
Sage Rosenfels (84.8)
John Kitna (80.9)
Damon Huard (76.8)
Kyle Bowler (75.2)

Don't forget about Freddie Mitchell. 25th pick in the 1st rd 2001
