Little prognosticating here. Who, of this years top ten is gonna, be a bust. You know there are 2-3 every year.

I'll put my money on McFadden?

Vernon Gholston.

Well, he's been sentenced to HELL in the NFL, but he'll have an okay career. He would have done much better in our system I think. I'm okay with Mayo, I think many of his negatives are "coachable". He play bigger than he is.
 
"Blair" Goatston...another in that long line of storied Rat busts
 
I'm playing the percentages and saying it will be someone with the last name of 'Long'. But seriously, I think it's Gholston, McFadden or Jake Long. In that order...
 
Mc Fadden was hyped so much he prob will be good, but not as good as the media hype.
 
Lets not forget Ryan. He better be tough, cause Atl. doesn't even have a O-line, do they. Ryan is gonna spend a lot of time on his azz.

Unfortunately for him, with the lack of protection he's going to get in Atlanta, Ryan is going to get owned.
 
I just don't see top ten talent in Harvey, at all.

McFadden has a few holes in his game as well, but he should be pretty productive.

I love Dorsey and think he has a great attitude and a high motor to go along with his obvious skills, but I don't think he was anywhere near the #1 talent in the draft.

Jake Long might play great, but nobody will know it with Jeff Beck at the helm.
 
OK seriously, McFadden. Not that he'll outright suck entirely but no one can live up to that hype.
 
Ryan, Harvey, if I had to guess. I hope Gholston is a bust, and he could well be, but with his freakish measurables he'll have to be a mental basketcase to not at least be a solid contributor in the pros.
 
I'm going with Ryan, escpecially with the WRs and OL he's going to have in ATL. I rooted for him at BC but I just don't see him making the jump, too many bad reads that he got away with in college. I'd have taken Brohm over him.
 
Gholston!!!
 
Lets not forget Ryan. He better be tough, cause Atl. doesn't even have a O-line, do they. Ryan is gonna spend a lot of time on his azz.

I'll go with Ryan also. The guy has talent and maybe has the mental toughness to endure and turn around the Atlanta franchise. If he can do it, it will be very impressive.

On the downside, though, he threw a lot of INTs in college. And this wasn't just against the best teams. Ryan had 2 INTs against Army, for example.

The counter to that argument is that BC lacked elite wide receiver talent and Ryan will be able to work with that in the NFL. Of course, that could be negated by playing against elite DB talent in the pros.

There's a solid chance Ryan end up as Trent Dilfer without the ring.
