Vernon Butler and Armanti Edwards are the first to come to mind. I’m sure there are others equally deserving but my memory ain’t what it used to be. 

and I definitely wouldn’t say Otah. He was a beast the one year, then he got hurt. It happens. 

Edwards is just one of those picks you can never forget.

 Biakabatuka and Otah weren't busts. They were derailed by injuries. I wouldn't consider either as even close to busts.

 

i used to call Biakabatuka "the fumbler"

I remember Gantt talking about the game where he was running all over Washington and George Seifert inexplicably benched him.

Seifert was a weird dude.

Jeff Otah has to be on that list.

Vernon Butler never gets mentioned, but is definitely Top3

Jimmy Clausen and Armanti Edwards should tie for 3rd. 

Hey how bout Eric Shelton?

 

Edit, he was well covered on page 2.

Otah's career wasn't "derailed by injuries".

He got the same typical bumps and bruises that EVERY player gets, then used it as an excuse to kick his feet up and do nothing for months on end. He wouldn't play through the pain or put any effort into rehab. His heart just wasn't in football. All of this was already well documented before we traded a truckload of picks to move up to get him.

I still remember that he had a minor injury at the very beginning of training camp that was suppose to sideline him for about 2 weeks, but should be ready to go by preseason games at the latest. But he didn't even try to rehab or come back, ended up on IR and missed the entire season (LOL)

We also traded up to get Little.

Throw in the future first rounder for Everette Brown plus the near miss at trading up for Clausen and yikes

won 1 game under him

he used to say every game "it was brutal"

[LinvilleGorge]

IMO, the guys who busted largely due to injury are in a different group than the guys who busted because they just outright sucked.

[Scott12345]

our former GM's sure did make a lot of bonehead moves

Gantt particularly seemed to hate how he'd always say an injured player was out for "one to six weeks".

2000 Rashard Anderson 1st round drug addict

2005 Eric Shelton RB Florida State.  The guy never saw the field.  Terrible pick in the 2nd Round

2007 Dewayne Jarrett WR USC was supposed to be a Keyshawn Clone more like a Keyshawn Clown

2010 Armanti Edwards QB/WR another pick that was such a waste

2019 Greg Little was supposed to be our answer at LT turned out to be worse than Mike Remmers

Mentioned elsewhere today, durability at the pro level is damn near impossible to predict.

Dan Morgan is, of course, the prime example of that.
