Predict Which Rookies Will Become A Bust

[jnday]

Wentz due to the situation he is in. He could be a good QB, but he is going to get rushed into starting and that ruins many young QBs. Ramey will disappear and be an average safety.

 

[Yakuza Rich]

I think Eli Apple.

CB's with little collegiate experience are a problem because they move up to the pros too soon and get abused. And once their confidence is gone, it may never come back.

1-15: Corey Coleman, WR (Baylor)....He's gonna rot in Cleveland. NO QB..Cold weather
2-57: T.J. Green, S (Clemson).....This was a media hype machine pushing this kid up the board.
2-37: Chris Jones, DT (Mississippi State)...Could boom...More likely to bust once he gets some $$$ and gets lazy.
1-13: Laremy Tunsil, T (Ole Miss)....Worst spot for him to land. Miami gonna try and turn him into a G....oh boy
2-38: Xavien Howard, CB (Baylor)...Slow 40 time...Don't be fooled by his pro day.
1-10: Eli Apple, CB (Ohio State)....Doesn't like to tackle
2-43: Austin Johnson, DL (Penn State)....Was very average in the SR Bowl

<<<Waiting for Scandric100 to post 'Zeke' as a definite 'bust'>>>

I think Wentz will be populating Bustville if the Eagles get antsy and push him to start before he's ready (probably anytime in 2016). Philly is a place that can kill even John Wayne's confidence. Don't let the fact that he's a ginger fool you...he has a soul (daywalker?) and it will be crushed by the Philly unfaithful if they lose 3 games in a row or more.

Not hardly. I mean, I think you are right about Philly with relation to QB situation but not about John Wayne.

John Wayne once said the following:

"Life is hard; its harder when you're stupid."

I think he was talking about Philly here.

QB always tend to lead the list as a bust one because it is the hardest position and 2 they normally go to teams who do not have a lot of talent to put around them. However I think Bosa will end up being the biggest disappointment

Completely wrong on Tunsil...clearly the safest bet in the draft.

In relation to where they were drafted.....

Goff
Wentz
Lynch
Bosa
Apple
Floyd
Nkemdiche
Ifedi

Jaylon.

Predict which non-Cowboy rookie will be a bust. I see Ramsey as being the biggest bust as the draft, I won't be suprise if he is, but I won't be surprised if he's an all pro.

Any and all of Jerry's picks.

I don't think Bosa will be a bust, though I don't think he will make any all-pro teams either. I think he will be an average+ player. His best trait is his run stopping ability. I said Greg Ellis before that became popular, but that is what I think he will be.

 

[This is Our Year]

Artie Burns

 

[erod]

Jaylon.

He could be a footnote, or he could be Von Miller.

To me, that would be a bust at #3, especially if some of the guy later turn out to be elite.

 

[CowboyChris]

Any and all of Jerry's picks.

hey that's cheating.

 

[dallasdave]

Eli Apple

 

[ghst187]

Buckner and Bosa, possibly Ramsey since he apparently can't snag an INT

 

[YosemiteSam]

To me, that would be a bust at #3, especially if some of the guy later turn out to be elite.

That's inevitable. That always happens in every draft. We very well may have gotten that guy in Tapper.

If Bosa, Elliott, or Ramsey don't turn out to be elite, they are busts given their draft spot.

Pretty sure ALL Cowboy fans that preferred Dallas take Ramsey WILL be pulling for him...especially since he's not even in the NFC.

Doesn't mean they won't be pulling for Elliott to be a monster as well though.

People tend to like to see their favorites succeed.

I very seriously doubt ALL that preferred the Cowboys taking Ramsey will be pulling for him I believe very few if any will be "pulling" for him unless they were FANS of him and his college team. Fans tend to pull against the players you passed up and hope they don't pan out so there's no regret for passing them up. If Ramsey becomes a great player and a better player than Zeke it's going to torment the fans that wanted Ramsey over Zeke. It's going to tear them up for YEARS that we could have drafted Ramsey the player they wanted so they'll pull against him so there's no looking back as to what could have been had we drafted him. If you've noticed not one person has picked Zeke to be a bust and there's a lot of fans on this board that weren't happy with the Cowboys picking him. Because they did pick Zeke every Cowboy fan even those that wanted Ramsey are pulling for Zeke.

Those players that are being listed on this bust list are a lot of players that some fans wanted the Cowboys to pick. Go back to the Randy Moss draft in 98 most Cowboy fans wanted the team to take Moss and are tormented to this day that he turned into a HOF player and a lot better player than Greg Ellis who the Cowboys took instead. I know for me personally I was hoping Moss would have a troubled career so I wouldn't feel bad that we passed him up but unfortunately his career was so much better than the player we picked we live in the world of what could have been had we drafted him. Just look at the debates over the years with fans convinced the Cowboys would have won more SB's had they drafted Moss.

It's pains a lot of fans that we passed on a player who became great so the tendency is to pull against the players you pass up so you never end up living in regret that your team passed on them. Look at Manziel I'm sure every fan who wanted the Cowboys to draft him are breathing a sigh of relief we passed on him. Had he become a great QB there would be a lot of anger amongst Cowboys Nation by those who wanted the Cowboys to draft him. It's the "what could have been" that tortures fans through the years. It's knowing your team passed up a player who became great that eats at you and will continue to eat at you forever especially if the player your team ended up selecting didn't live up to expectations or went bust.
