Statistically speaking we should expect at least one of Vereen, Ridley or Dowling to bust. I'm not particularly down on any of these players but recognize that I'd be betting against the odds to expect all three to be quality players. I'm interested in seeing if anybody has actual reasons for expecting a guy to be bad. So who do you expect to bust?
I'll pick Dowling. I don't like drafting guys with injury histories. Sometimes it can land you an elite talent later in the draft when said player should have gone earlier (see Gronkowski, Rob) but often times it doesn't work out. Dowling's injury history isn't terrible but I really have no reason to predict any of these guys busts so I went w/ Ras. Hopefully he proves me wrong.
Side note: Let's stick to the 3 guys I mentioned. All 3 should see some PT this year. I leave out Solder because there has already been a lot of discussion on him since the draft. What makes Mallet a bust is a whole different topic so we'll leave him out. The rest of the guys were picked so low I'm not expecting much although Cannon and Smith show promise.
