The busts are players I think are overrated and will not live up to their hype. There are of course more potential busts than not, but the players I chose were ones where I disagree with the experts.

Crush - Neal 

check out that tricep, GAWD!!!

 

Bust - Howell

One weekend I drove into draft mode and he is one guy I came away with hating after giving him some 6th overall consideration. Not sure if hes in my top 7 and I dont even want him til round 5. Soured badly on him.

Crush prior to combine and after: Jelani Woods. His speed popped on tape and at the combine 4.61 at 6'7" and 259. 25 reps at 225. Plus he was super productive this year.

[Panthers8969]

Verone McKinley III. Led CFB in ints. Free safety.

CRUSHES

the top 3 LT

RB Breece Hall - elite athlete with tons of college production

DE Aidan Hutchinson - will be really good for a long time

S Dax Hill - speed, speed, speed

WR Drake London - total beast at WR

CB Trent McDuffie - year 1 starter

LT Bernhard Raimann - is already good and just going to get better

LT Trevor Penning - nasty attitude

C Tyler Linderbaum - core piece of an NFL line for a decade

 

BUSTS

CB Derek Stingley Jr.  -  talent but his lack of games played and injury history is concerning

DE Kayvon Thibodeaux - talks too much about his "brand".  Seems like he's not that into football 

WR Jameson Williams - super talented but that torn ACL in the championship game leaves a lot of uncertainty

QB Malik Willis - great raw ability but if he goes to the wrong team (such as the Panthers) he'll never fully  develop

QB Kenny Pickett - if he goes to a domed team, maybe OK.  I think his upside is Andy Dalton.  

[Panthers Rhule]

CRUSH

Kenny Pickett. I read above that he needs a dome but he played 4 years outdoors in Pittsburg without any problems. If he could play there then I don't think Carolina should be a problem. Everything I've seen, heard, or watched about him looks good to me. I know everyone says this class is bad but I'd honestly rank him as the 2nd or 3rd best QB in LAST season's class.
