Art Schlichter: don't gamble
NFL: this is brought to you by draft kings sports book 😂

Bosworth selling the anti boz shirts is the absolutely brilliant. He may have been a meathead but the man was a genius.

I'm impressed with whatever scout looked at Joe Flacco playing QB in a FCS/1AA Wing-T offense and said "This guy is 1st Round pick material."

If Dick Vermeil can't bring out the best in you then no one can. Much respect for Mr. Vermeil.

Never forget...Mel Kiper criticized the Colts for taking Marshal Faulk over Heath Shuler. Keep that in mind the next time you hear him speak

I was living in San Diego when Leaf was drafted, and I remember the optimism and hope among Chargers fans. There were some who thought Manning the better pick, but everyone agreed that Leaf should go far as well; maybe even better. The confusion and disappointment by the end of that first season was something.

Given how bad Bosworth's shoulders degenerated, he was screwed no matter what. At the end of his second year, the team doctor famously said: "He was a 25 year old with the shoulders of a 60 year old. He flunked my physical."

Bosworth is a guy who has learned from his mistakes as a young player. Kudos to him

It's so haunting that an RGIII draft segment is on the program after the end of the countdown

Years later and I still think it's fascinating how they made this list in preparation for a draft (2007) which debatably produced a bust worse than all these.

Dick Vermeil crying after cutting Lawrence Philips was honestly good. Football often seems so heartless

Phillips: Dead:
Schlichter: Prison from 11-21, was just released in June on 2021.
Update with JaMarcus Russell in the top 2

They really need to update this to include Johnny Manziel.

"No athlete is an athlete with the intention of being a bust.".

--Brian Bosworth.

In his last interview before he passed, Dwight Clark said his biggest regret was not taking the Saints up on trading them number 1 in ‘99 for all their draft picks. What they could’ve done with all that draft capital.

Heath Shuler: "Caoch, why do these people hate me so much?"
Coach: "Because you suck."

I wouldn't necessarily put Tim Couch and David Carr as busts. They were put in a lose lose situation. No blocking, good players,  or time to develop with a good better team. Their offensive lines were swiss cheese.

This list needs to be updated. Lately a LOT of teams have been taking players in the first round who turn to be massive busts.

As bad as Jamarcus Russell was, he actually LEADS Ryan Leaf in every single offensive stat including the analytics' advanced stats. So even in an updated list, Leaf is still #1.

The David Klingler one is actually sad what happened to him. From his wiki: "Klingler injured his elbow and shoulder in the offseason before his third season. After the 1994 season (his third), he underwent elbow surgery. Being informed that his injury was career ending, he knew that his career was all but done. Before the operation he could heave a ball 85 yards; afterward he struggled to reach 35"
