DirtyDez Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 (edited) Too early to judge guys in the third year or less so I’m listing 2015-2019 [b]drafted in the first 2 rounds[/b]. Not calling them busts just players that were underwhelming: (in order of drafted) Kevin White Breshad Perriman Phillip Dorsett Devin Smith Dorial Green-Beckham Corey Colenan Josh Doctson Laquon Treadwell John Ross Zay Jones Dante Pettis Anthony Miller N’Keal Harry JJ Arcega-Whitesidd Parris Campbell Andy Isabella - I’ll start. Isabella couldn’t beat press coverage or track long balls. They thought he could fit in Kingbury’s YAC offense but he couldn’t shake anyone with the ball in his hands.

He relied on his physical tools IE; jumping, size, strength. When opposing DBs had comparable measurables, he floundered. He could no longer play that game the same way he had been probably for his entire life and he just never adjusted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Miller had the potential just didn't have the desire to put in the work to reach that potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tack on a bunch of off field issues and you have a failure at the pro level. Think he's in jail right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not calling them busts just players that were underwhelming: N’Keal Harry Couldn't get open, basically. No wiggle or acceleration whatsoever. He was supposed to play like one of these big, strong possession receivers who could outmuscle guys for 50/50 balls (think Alshon Jeffery) but he had literally no real skills as a receiver. He should've gained 15-20 lbs and transitioned to TE when Belichick put him primarily in run blocking duty, but I guess that's not in the cards for him with the Bears, either.

KhanYouDigIt Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Zay Jones is good. That man is always open. Highest graded Jaguar on offense per PFF fwiw 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigTrav Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 I'm guessing with most of them you could throw a blanket of "they either can't get open or they don't have a football brain" over them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few injury prone guys - John Ross, Parris Campbell, Kevin White, Corey Coleman, Devin Smith, Breshard Perriman come to mind. We take for granted how people quickly recover from knee injuries such as an ACL, but the truth is - not all bodies heal the same way. Some guys lose what makes 'em special when the body gets out of sync. 19 hours ago, DirtyDez said: Phillip Dorsett He's actually the starting slot WR in Houston - if he had a QB who can throw the ball in his general vicinity, he might be able to do something. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. He was only ever a deep threat in NE, never had the chance to even get decent snaps in the slot for obvious reasons. Body catcher that could adjust to the ball somewhat well but it had to be a drop in the basket. Before he was drafted, I thought he’d be what Tyler Lockett turned into.
