Bust of the draft

My closest friends know that each year as we approach the draft I like to predict which player or players I think will be absolute busts in the NFL. Now you have to take my word for it but I have a fairly good track record. In the past I have picked such players as Aaron Maybin, Johnny Manzel, Ryan Leaf, and Greg Robinson to name a few. That said I have been off as well as I felt Cam Newton would be a bust too. So there is that.

I start looking at this years draft there is a lot of talent but there are some players who I will admit I am not as sold on as other may be.

Now my first rule is to truly be a bust you need to be drafted in round 1. So there are a few that I am looking at this year.

So this year I am looking at guys like Cam Robinson who I think will be a failure as a Tackle in the NFL but might be an above average guard (think D.J. Fluker). John Ross is not high on my list the small fast receivers always scare me because teams think they are going to be huge when they are nothing more than role players (Roscoe Parrish, Tavon Austin are perfect examples)

However the man who tops my list this year is a popular pick for Buffalo on many fan sites and even some mock drafts.

Jabrill Peppers from Michigan. When I go back and watch him play I am underwhelmed. Not a great cover guy, not a great tackler. A big name who will be drafted high but much less a hybrid and much more a tweener in my book. I don't see him having a successful NFL career.

So there you have it. This year I am putting it out on BR my prediction of who will be the Biggest Bust of the 2017 NFL draft.
