Can a 4th round pick really be considered a "bust"?

Good question. I would say yes. The reason is that each of the 4th round picks for 4 years now has a pattern of being developmental players. Too weak, too short, too raw, too inexperienced, always get hurt, etc. We have had better drafting in the later rounds and in the un-drafted circles. I just think they select 4th rounders based on being backups rather than starters. Thus the lack of talent in drafted 4th rounders.

What on earth did you guys see in Hamilton lol? I know he racked up a lot of sacks at PV but PV isn't the NFL. Who knows if it could translate but are we convinced he's anything more than a PS guy right now? Chances are....he may get cut so if they want a look at him they maybe can have a shot at him. I just don't know what he's done in these 2 years....I know he's had some injury problems but isn't that enough to stay away from him?

Well I Do think you need to hit on some of these 4th round picks.....but in a league where the majority of 1st round picks are busts? I can say that about the 1st round. Even the 2nd. But after that? Its such a crap shoot. Not saying you can't find guys there but it is relatively hard. Some teams can't even hit in the 1st round.

LOL I forgot about that. Well, props to him. But he's shown nothing on that field to warrant the excitement expressed in this thread lol.

We already have Adrian Hamilton.

This year, his name is JC Copeland.

Another internet hyped star that can't play in the NFL.

Yeah, Copeland kind of sank like a rock here in camp, didn't he?
