For me it is Brian Burns. I do not understand the attraction. What I see when I watch game film is a guy who lacks strength, does not pursue the play with any effort, has limited pass rush moves.
Who do you see as the biggest potential bust in the upcoming draft?
RB: Dexter Williams
TE: Noah Fant
OL: Greg Little
DL/Edge: I agree re: Burns. Also Clelin Farrell.
DL/Interior: Jerry Tillery
agreed
But I agree he has bust written all over his artificially engorged muscles.
I've said it before, he's like picking a number on a roulette wheel. The odds are you're going to lose, but if you hit, you'll hit big.
Jawaan Taylor
^^^^ This.
DK Metcalf and Jerry Tillery could also flame out.
And it's going to rock him about the choice he made to commit to football.
When every player you play against is suddenly as good as the BEST guys you faced in college, the size difference will come into play.
Not saying he'll be the "biggest bust", but I could see QWilliams not be the second coming of whichever great DL comp you use...
Count me in the Metcalf camp.
Metcalf
Gary
None of that sounds like best-case scenarios for 1st round QBs.
Was going to say this as well.
Metcalf
Gary
I think Haskins will be ok, but I like the rest of your list.
Daniel Jones
Greg Little
DK Metcalf
NKeal Harry
I think Gary has the potential to be a huge bust, but I think he's someone you want to take a chance on. If I have to go on record as to who is going to be the biggest bust, I'm taking Montez Sweat.
Grier is not being looked at as a franchise guy. Most think he is a backup with starter potential.
I don't think he "plays like Jane" at all. He's extremely stout versus the run. Has a nice bull rush as well. Now if you want to say he lacks a decent repertoire of pass rush moves, that is valid.
Made me laugh
Strange that Haskins gets this knock repeatedly on BBI but that concern is never voiced about Murray, along with future RD1 QBs like Tua, Fromm, Lawrence.
I am going with Montez Sweat.
I am going with Montez Sweat.
Dep and I think thats what he projects to, a solid player who excels vs the run but not really a great pass rusher. Not a bust but not good value top 10 in the draft.

No way he busts. At worse hes a 6-7 sack guy who plays the run.

Believe it or not. I am not going to disagree with this. But people act like the dude cant play... haha
Now imagine if he slips to 17??? We should run to the podium.
Fine. In that case, Jawaan Taylor.
Agree. I don't not see how a pass rusher whos main purpose is to get sacks does not produce more than 5.5 in any season does it in the NFl where the blocking and talent level are much better.
Just like I do not see how a qb who has a low comp % is going to be better in the NFL...a passing league.

Has huge bust potential as well. He's going to have a big curve ahead of him when he realizes the teammates he has around him aren't playing at a huge athletic advantage against the defensive players on the other side.

I used to think Murray would bust but I've come around on him. I think his arm talent is there, his ability to make all the throws on the move, and his escapability is 2nd to none. If he stays injury free, I think he'll be successful.
Haskins has a lot of good traits. The reason why he gets the bust potential label from me and likely others is that he has very little tape...he simply didn't play that much, and he played on a team where it is tough to evaluate him because most of the time, his OL kept for him a clean pocket, and his receivers were far better than their opponents.
If all you're teammates are superior to their opponents, they can make you look better than you are.
Lastly, he's not athletic and I question his escapability and movement in the pocket when he gets pressure. I'm not saying he can't move in the pocket...I'm saying he didn't play enough college games against top opponents to be able say, "yes, this guy has shown repeatedly he has these skills."
He could be the next Peyton Manning. If he played another year at Ohio State and continued to dominate, then perhaps a lot more people would feel more confident in his ability to be a star at the NFL level.
Gary and Metcalf are good candidates.
Daniel Jones
Greg Little
DK Metcalf
NKeal Harry
N'Keal Harry is going to be a #1 receiver in the NFL. And I think he's going to go in the 20-30 range of the first round.
DK Metcalf
That's a good one.

I think so too! So many impact players and these guys are shrouded in measurables.
Drew Lock
D.K. Metcalf
The question is "biggest bust." I think while White's ceiling is absurdly high, his floor is significantly low. He has awful tackling technique and his instincts are suspect.
His athleticism will ensure that he'll always be on a 53 man roster and likely will be a decent starter but it would be a huge disappointment if he's not a Pro Bowler given the hype and possibility of being picked in the top 10.
Sweat (I know a physical freak but if he goes high and that heart problem becomes a bigger issue that's a bust)

I actually almost picked him also. I've seen some film on him that was not real glowing

Not sure when you read BBI, but Murray's size has been robustly debated. And Tua's injury history has been discussed. But they have a dimension that Haskins doesn't - the ability to improvise.
Fromm was debated again today. He was compared to Daniel Jones.
Lawrence would have been a top twenty pick out of high school. He would be the clear #1 pick this year. And next year. When he is eligible in 2021, he will be the #1 pick without debate.
He may be the greatest QB prospect since Elway.
Bill, I was thinking of Sweat also. Heard he did very well during drills in the week leading up to the Senior Bowl. Do you (or anyone else reading this) know how he did in the actual game? I tried to find stats/box scores for the game, but couldn't. I do know that for the two or three plays I saw, he got ridden out around the pocket pretty handily.
My concern is that some athletes practice better than they play, and some play a lot better in the actual game.
Now, if somebody says they watched the whole game and Sweat spent the day in the backfield with QB hits and pressures, then I will excuse myself from the conversation.

Two things: Gary is going to develop into a solid pass rusher. He is just too athletic. In terms of his production in college, he spent his senior year playing injured, and the scheme demanded other things of him.
Second and you can mark this down: Buffalo Josh Allen is going to be a terrific QB. He will excel, and so will Buffalo as a result.

What are you implying? First of all, Tua, Fromm, and Lawrence aren't even in this draft. There is plenty of time to analyze them as prospects, including another entire college football season.
There is a diversity of opinion on Haskins, you seem to have a problem with that. I think the concerns are valid, are you intimating something that will make you look like a complete fool? Because if you are, then you should stop right there.
Shouldn't be unpopular. Id argue that it's more likely than reaching the draft hype. The top 10 of every draft is littered with more underachievers than it is guys who deliver on their promise. Out of White, Williams, Bosa, and Allen odds are at least 2 of them are going to disappoint.

I almost said White also, but I believe his quickness and speed are so good he is at least going to be somewhat of an effective linebacker, not really a bust. A bust to me is someone who washes out of the league before the conclusion of that first contract.
