Which prospects have the highest likelihood to end up being busts in the 2014 NFL draft? These are some of the most common names being tossed around.
  • Adrian Hubbard, OLB, Alabama
  • Brett Hundley, QB, UCLA
  • Taylor Lewan, OT, Michigan
  • Bradley Roby, CB, Ohio State
  • Johnny Manziel, QB, Texas A&M
  • Loucheiz Purifoy, CB, Florida
  • Tajh Boyd, QB, Clemson
  • Will Sutton, DT, Arizona State
  • Marqise Lee, WR, USC
In my personal opinion Jadeveon Clowney, DE, South Carolina will be one of the biggest busts to enter the NFL in the past decade. He has a ton of physical talent but does not seem to have a very good mental makeup from what I have read.

OK firstly, you should watch Clooney's tape against Tennessee. I will sell my Mum if Clooney is a bust. The kid is unreal. He made Antonio Richardson, who is talked of as a first round LT, look stupid.

Secondly, pretty much everyone on your list has good potential to bust. I don't think there's a sure bet there unless you are considering Tajh Boyd as a good backup QB. Lewan and Lee are probably the better bets to be good NFL players whilst Purifoy and Roby are, in my opinion, the better Patriot fits.
 
Clowney, Manziel, Mike Evans.
 
Maybe Clowney, maybe Evans, definitely Manziel, Carr
 
I'd bet that Clowney would privately tell you that he's pissed he couldn't go into last year's draft. Why hurt yourself when there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. South Carolina didn't tell him to go there to get a degree. They sold him on SEC football. Clowney sees that it's all about the Benjamins. Robert Quinn - UNC didn't even play his junior year and he's fine. Clowney is a better player and didn't miss a year. Stud.

I'm mostly thinking Manziel or Carr. Manziel I worry will get the Diva label and he will get benched and Carr I just worry that he is Brady Quinn. The real problem is that everybody is expecting college QB's to be stars immediately and it does take time
 
For some reason I see Kyle Van Noy busting.
 
Whoever Oakland drafts. ;)
