Biggest Draft Busts/Home Runs Ever

Recommended Posts

What are (in your opinions) the biggest draft busts and home runs ever... For the purposes of THIS THREAD AND DISCUSSION this does NOT include players who were injured and their career spiraled due to injury, so leave the Timmy B hate in the cabinet... ALSO, for the purpose of this discussion, UNDRAFTED FAs don't count... Strictly drafted players... +1 it if you agree, -1 it if you don't, but offer why you feel that way too... And if you +/- someone, you have to add a player to the discussion... Try to bring something new... We all know Ryan Leaf is a bust... Doesn't need to be limited to just Panther players...

I'll start it off... One that I had the Panthers drafting in my mock, and was excited to get... I defended him, and called for patience to let him grow into the role... I just knew he was gonna be something special... Well, he was special alright... Especially terrible...

RB Eric Shelton, Louisville, 2nd Round Carolina Panthers

    • I'll be patiently waiting to see what OL additions we snatch off the waiver wire.
    • Look don't get me wrong here. I'm not arguing it's going to just change his arm talent overnight. I'm just saying doing anything on the physical front after the GM who stuck his neck out for him over the concerns around his physical traits got fired is better than doing nothing. That's another layer. It could easily be argued overall he needed to add at least 10 pounds not just for the sake of working in the pocket and not going down so easily but let's be honest eventually no matter how much we invest in the OL he's going to get hit some and those hits will add up. His frame as it stands is only going to absorb so much over a 17 game season. Oh definitely good or bad we will have to run a lot of under center stuff. Bryce will either look good or flounder. But our offense will remain stagnant if we just keep running shotgun plays 90% of the time. You're telegraphing your offense otherwise. That's why I'm not giving Chuba Hubbard too hard of a time over his YPC last year. We weren't fooling anyone. We'll see what Canales has cooked up. It better be pretty damn clever.
    • Why would a team ever not be aggressive in improving the roster? It may look different from year to year but even the best rosters churn at the bottom. That's a no-brainer.
