I think he will be far from a bust. An unbelievable talent with a WR body like any I've ever seen coming out of college. Most wr's build their way over a few season to amass that strength and conditioning. He's already there. I don't think there is a CB in the league that could muscle in front of him to get a jump ball or bump him on the run.
I think it was a mistake not drafting him but I also believe in BB's track record with his first rounders. McCourty is a fine pick and fills a glaring need on this team as far as special teams and returner. He was a shutdown against meager competition but that still says a lot. I'm very interest to see him challenge Butler for playing time and think it makes for a good training camp battle. As much nickel and dime as this team plays they both should see the field a lot.
That "meager competition" thing is pure blowsheet. People made Brandon Graham their binkie, yet all of his highlights came against teams like Michigan State. I love Michigan State but watching him sack Cousins twice in his ESPN highlight reel made my roommates and I laugh hysterically. I was at half the MSU games, penetrating the Spartan offensive line this year was common practice to teams like Central Michigan even. And watching Ryan Matthews "epic" highlights against Wyoming two times was hilarious too.
All these players play "meager" competition at times. But I can guarantee you he's played some good players too.
