Where does Bryce rank on the all-time draft bust list?

[MRenshaw]

So what do you all think, is Bryce among the biggest draft busts of all time? If so, where does he rank? Is he in the Ryan Leaf/JaMarcus territory or not quite?

Without a doubt, he's definitely number one.

Ryan Leaf is way worse than Bryce stats wise, but the multiple firsts and DJ Moore might make him all time biggest bust.

when you factor in cost.....if things ended this year?  Cost is going to 100% put him in the top 5 all time convo.

Factor in the trade and he's #1. 

We traded...

2023: #9 and #61 picks

2024: #1 overall

2025: #39

Plus DJ Moore

All for a guy who is borderline NFL roster worthy. Were there even worse individual picks? Yeah, I'd say that Jamarcus Russell was worse. Ryan Leaf was worse. But factor in all the assets invested into that pick and it's not even close. The only reason Bryce has piled up all those starts is because of how bitter of a pill it is to swallow that trade being a bust. If Bryce had simply been the #1 overall pick without that massive trade I honestly think we would've moved on this past off-season. Two years had shown you everything you needed to see.

Very similar in terms of production and what they gave up (2 firsts and a second), but losing DJ Moore (which led to us reaching on XL) is the candle on that poo cake.
