Who will be the major busts in this draft?

[Thelonious]

Williams almost certainly. Character does matter, and he hasn't got a lick of it. I also have a nagging feeling Drake Maye might be a somewhat beefier Mac Jones whose limitations - inaccuracy, intemperance, ADD - will be similarly devastating at the next level, but that's just crazy talk, right? Huh?

Inspired by my post in the Nix thread and her bust.

Looks inflatable.

Bo Nix

Wow, OK, this could be interesting. I was thinking that Bo Nix would be a great choice later in the first round or second round, but, heck, I have only see a few minutes of highlights. Highlights only show the Good Stuff, not the muffs.

Right now, on flimsy evidence, I think that Daniels and JJ are the best bets. I like JJ because of his work ethic and concentration; I watched a few highlights nad he has decent escapability and can trhow on the run, but his passes were not perfect and the WRs had to break stride slightly. As far as Daniels, he has incredible foot speed, but he might be crumpled up like a paper doll in the pros.

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. Williams seems like a flake. Was it the Combine or the pro days where Williams was horsing around and not serious at all while JJ was all business? Based on this flimsy evidence, I thought that he will be a bust and JJ wold be good. Could Williams turn into the next JaMarcus Russell?

Williams has good escapability, but Merrill Hodge thinks he is very inaccurate on the run. I see a train wreck coming up....If Daniels is taken at 2, I sure hope that the Patriots trade down....

The Bears 1st round QB pick will be a bust.

The only QB that they ever picked and he worked out - if you want to call it that- was McMahon. 15 TDs and 11 INTs in the 1985 Super Bowl season. He never threw beyond 15 TDs in his career.

Terrion Arnold

It would appear that he only ran 4.5 at the Combine, yikes...there are LBs faster than that

 

[Give Kraft A Hand]

McCarthy and Williams.

 

[PatsFan2]

I suspect that Caleb Williams will be a bust. Possibly Drake May also.

Hopefully no-one we Draft early especially on Day One and Two.

Keion Coleman

Be careful Sam and Fred look how Drake London turned out. A Harry Clone he's not I would love to get Coleman.

Jayden Daniels.

Though I would love it don't think we get a shot at him.

Harry runs about .05 faster than Coleman. Just saying.

Funny how Harry never showed that Elite Speed.

 

[maust]

Wow such venom. Well I suppose it is good that one person is happy with the Patriots' offseason. Are you happy with 4 wins also?

No TBH, it was one win too many. They should have had the good sense to lay down against Denver.

 

[borisman]

He never had elite speed. Coleman ran 4.61 in case you missed it.

I Think Anquan Boldin ran a similar time and had a Great career I don't put much stock in 40 times it's not an exact science I like the other things the players do. You can't teach 6'4 215.

Drake Maye

 

[captain stone]

Not that he was going in the first round anyway, but I wouldn’t pick short, slow Safety Kamren Kinchens until all 3 of the killer Bs - Bullock, Bishop & Bullard - are off the board first.

 

[MahomestoKelce]

I think Williams will be a bust. Moreso because Chicago is QB hell.

This is actually an interesting way to frame the #3 choice.

I've been so back and forth on Maye & Daniels. But, if the question is: who is more likely to bust - I just commented on this yesterday that Daniels seems like a long shot to actually bust - at least in the first 3 years - due to his natural physical traits (speed, mobility, arm talent).

We don't know how he'll handle the NFL schemes, or durability, but his level of prolonged success in the SEC rarely produces a bust.
(Mac had a very short run of success) But I think it's not hard to see Maye busting - if thrown in like Wilson was at NYJ. He has lots of physical tools, but lacks consistency and still very young mentally.

Daniels is the better "bust-proof" QB prospect - maybe of all the top 6.
