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. 

[LinvilleGorge]

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.

I would say that Russel and Leaf are worse QBs but they only cost their teams a first round pick. Bryce is still extremely shitty and cost the Panthers so much.

this is still the worst draft trade in NFL history, worse than Ricky Williams (who was still a 10k rusher and had a pretty good NFL career)

#1 with a bullet.

Nope. Chargers traded up for Leaf. Picks package was almost identical to our trade-up for Bryce. But we threw in our #1 WR.

The Bears fleeced us good and still ended up with a better Qb at the end of it all. 

If this ain't the worse trade it's giving Minnesota and Hershsal Walker trade a run for it's money.

Ok I stand corrected, I did not know that they traded up for Leaf. Chargers still get the crown imo

[Manna]

I just hate that it happened to MY team. 

[Jon Snow]

For us he's the biggest bust in franchise history. In the nfl league wide he would fall somewhere in the top 10, possibly even top 5.

[KillerKat]

Considering what was given up and that he was #1 overall, there is no way you can say anywhere but #1 draft bust of all time.
