In a general grouping: Rashard Anderson, Bruce Nelson, Eric Shelton, Dwayne Jarrett, Jason Peter (could've had hometown Vinnie Holliday...), Ellison, all of 2009, Mitch Marrow.

I actually completely forgot about Anderson until I started browsing this list. Man, he was a whiff. I remember being excited about him too.

1. Rae Carruth - No explanation needed
2. Jimmy Clausen - One of the most overhyped prospects I've ever seen
3. Rashard Anderson - Literally spent 1 season in the league and then washed out of the CFL 4yrs later
4. Greg Little - I am so thankful that nobody fleeced Hurney when he tried to trade up for him. Also, look at who else was on the board!
5. Rashaan Gaulden - No athleticism, just double birds to the Bama fans

Dishonourable Mention: Everette Brown, Sione Fua

I wouldn't say Otah was a bust, he was steamrolling fools.

Otah suffered from what many of our draft picks suffer from; being high potential and impact players initially but sizzling out quickly (even more so after being paid)

Otah, KB, Turner, and Short are all names that come to mind recently who were standouts that just seemed to suddenly croak.

It also seems like anyone who doesn't stay with the team doesn't necessarily die, but doesn't find quite the level of success they seemed to have had. Norman, Bradbury, Star, and Butler are examples of this.

    • He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes 
    • Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.    
    • I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
