Chance Warmack was also drafted top 10 and also stunk something awful. Good call. Forgot about him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That, and being a huge turd, probably had something to do with it. The super soaker bong rip thing is a @MOSteelers56 insider exclusive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked him a lot that year too. But mostly I remember thinking people were crazy to think that there was even a chance he was better than Jalen Ramsey. 3 hours ago, SteelKing728 said: Why did Dorial Green Beckham bust? Because he was drafted solely on his freshman season. I think people knew he was a roll of the dice when he was selected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Rex arms was the reason many said he busted at LT but I always wondered if there was more to it. Short arms, slow feet. This was back when the gap in speed between a conference like the Big 10 and SEC or Pac 10 was pretty large. He got used to blocking Linebackers who moved like linemen as opposed to Lineman sized guys who moved like linebackers. He kicked inside to guard and was fairly decent IIRC. If he was the 42nd overall pick instead of the 2nd, you'd say he had a solid career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerbertGOAT Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 4 hours ago, RaidersAreOne said: For once Al didn't take the flashy weapon (Larry Fitzgerald) and opted to go the safe route on OL.... and he's a historical bust. FFS. Gallery turned out to be a solid-ish Guard but he was supposed to be an elite LT for 12+ years man. A couple of things. This was when Al Davis was transitioning from "I prefer speed" to "I literally want speed and nothing else". Second, I've never understood why OL are always thought of as "safe picks", like they can most definitely bust as well. And a bad OL can ruin a game for you much more than a bad WR or RB can (see 2021 Week 18) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerbertGOAT Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Josh Rosen busted because he was soft and his only above-average quality was his decision-making, which was exhibited against a very weak Pac-12 at the time. Sam Darnold busted because he was infinitely too turnover prone against mediocre college defenses, and that was only going to be exemplified against NFL teams who can make you see ghosts. I wasn't on this website at the time, but I wish I was. I absolutely HATED those guys as prospects and never understood the hype. Granted I also really liked Dwayne Haskins and Isaiah Simmons so it evens out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Injuries derailed him nearly immediately - then substance abuse took over as he got hooked on pain pills and other substances following his broken collarbone. Rogers had a few rumors of substance issues in college, and that came home to roost when you introduced painkillers into the mix. No telling whether or not he’d succeed if these things didn’t happen… but who knows? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn’t very quick or fast vs NFL WRs, was too grabby and drew a ton of flags, couldn’t create turnovers and got lost in his own zone assignments at times. Couldn’t really do well on ST, was a below average depth CB overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
