Dylan Moses is a guy that I could see being a wasted pick.

Also, any "tweener" DT we try to put at 1 tech.

Mac Jones is trash. The 49ers taking him over Justin Fields will be remembered like the Jaguars drafting a punter over Russell Wilson.

Jaycee Horn has a bunch of Mike Jenkins to him as a grabby reactive CB with bad tackling form. I wouldn't blink if he washed out of the league in 5 years. He's an extreme high-variance prospect.

Kwity Paye is too sound of a run defender to totally wash out, but he'll become a has-been rotational DE really quickly if he can't start getting around tackles.

I'm a Rousseau fan, but I'd be lying if I said there wasn't a lot of risk to his game. Average athleticism to get around the edge and too lean/lacking in power to play DT full time. I think his length will play like it did in college, but that also forms a worryingly large part of his projection.

Phillips missing his medical checkups is scary.

Parsons seriously seems like he has mental/emotional issues and is almost guaranteed to do something stupid off the field before his rookie deal is up. For comparison, we knew Zeke was a party boy, we overlooked it, and that came back to bite us repeatedly over the next five years. But Zeke's just careless and lazy. Parsons has a violent edge that I don't think Zeke has (he-said-she-said DV allegations aside). He could Reuben Foster his way out of the league very quickly.
If parsons goes to the eagles or giants we are in big big trouble. Mark my words

Phillips is scary because a) there is medical risk, including concussions, and b) he apparently is a big music guy who is also very talented. You could see a circumstance in which you can't blame the guy from walking away from football to pursue his other passion. There is also risk there with Kelvin Joseph, but not the same injury concern.

This isn't meant as a knock against Phillips. It just might be the smart decision for him.

Yeah, Mac Jones had a lot of primo talent to work with. It's Alabama. That doesn't mean it was all puppy dogs and rainbows for Jones, and doesn't make his pinpoint accuracy any less impressive. (Consistently hitting guys on the numbers and in stride - even from a collapsing pocket - will translate, just as it did with Joe Burrow.) Bama lost three first-rounders (Jerry Jeudy, Henry Ruggs and Jedrick Willis) heading into 2020, then lost Jaylen Waddle and Landon Dickerson to season-ending injuries for the stretch run. Jones never missed a beat, consistently dominating even in the few games when DeVonta Smith was his lone premier target, and in the second half of the National Title game, when Smith was out with injury

I promise all of you Pitts doesn't live up to what he is going to need to be in this league to justify the draft position.

Barmore is a likely bust as well.

They're is at least always one high prospect that will bust. They will fail because of injury, character, going to a bad team,overhyped.
So give your best bet who ends up a bust.

My prediction

*Zac Wilson QB BYU.
I like him has everything to be successful except he is going to the Jets. Just like Sam Darnold the Can't Miss QB a few years ago. Wilson will get blamed for a badly run organization. Zac Wilson likely starts Day 1 as a rookie not even getting a chance to sit and learn behind a Vet. ( Other QBs right now on Jets roster are James Morgan & Mike White) .



* Jaelin Phillips DE Miami
Multiple concussions, serious injury to his wrist ,both ankles have had injuries and he is just now entering the NFL. If concussions don't do him in, something will. I can see him living on IR like Tyronne Crawford for a career. He originally retired playing at UCLA and then went to Miami. I can envision Training Camp, he gets a concussion retires over CTE. Never playing a down in the NFL and living off the signing bonus and contract that he duped some team to draft him.
.

* Devonta Smith WR Alabama
Weighs 166 lbs. He needs to go to the right situation. He will need a big receiver or a true #1 WR to take the pressure off of him. He will get pushed around with his slight frame. Also he is not super fast. Average NFL WR speed of 4.48 forty. Reminds me of the situation of another Heismann WR Desmond Howard who ended up a returner and a slot WR at best in the NFL.



So who are your guesses?

Phillips for sure, simply because catch17 is endorsing him every chance he gets as the best defensive player in this draft. It all but guarantees he will bust.

If he doesn't go to jail.....dude was practically raping people....these cases aren't over. Wouldn't shock me to see him on the suspended list before the season starts......funny how the NFL hasn't said a word. I bet if we were to draft him....he's gone for the year.....if the Giants or Philly take him.....he probably sits for 2 games...4 max. :rolleyes:
