Almost forgot my 2012 bust pick

[NinerSickness]

'98: Curtis Enis
'99: Akili Smith
'00: Rashard Anderson
'01: Damoine Lewis
'02: Lito Shappard - D'oh!
'03: Rex Grossman
'04: Chris Perry
'05: Braylon Edwards
'06: Vince Young
'07: Jammal Andersen
'08: Matt Ryan - D'oh!
'09: Percy Harvin -- Whoops!
'10: Timmy!!! (That one was a gimme)
'11: Cam Newton (whoops???)

And the 2012 NinerSickness first round bust pick, which is really hard to pick because sometimes the first round is loaded, but I'm gonna pick one every year no matter how good the round is, and obviously expectations should be higher based on how higher picks, is.....

Andrew Luck! That's right colts! You jerks! Andrew Luck is gonna be a huge bust! No accuracy, can't read defenses, bad character.

...just kidding. (Jealousy)

Michael Brockers.

I was extremely close to saying Harrison Smith, but I gotta go with the guy on whom I was hating all year.

In '05 I was hating on Mike Williams all year, but I went with Braylon 'cause he was picked higher. So this time I gotta go with my gut. 14th pick has high expectations; don't think he'll live up to 'em.

Not a fan of Timmy, but based on what we normal fans expect of him, he did as well or better than we could expect. But as far as a first round pick, traded up mind you, he's a bust. If Tim had been picked in the lower rounds but was just as hyped, I wouldn't have considered him a bust due to all the wins he got with the defense.

Exactly. I'm just going by Value as the numerator and where the dude was picked as the denominator. So a bust at #1 overall is huge points in my own little word, whereas a pick like Chris Perry is still good, it's not as good as Akili Smith. If Timmy wasn't such an obvious pick I would've said Bradford that year.

Timmy!!!

Just one? I have a bunch.

I pick one every year. It's not like I think the other 31 will be good, Brocketrs is just my favourite to disappoint this year.

Who'd be yours if you could only pick one?

 

[clyde_carbon]

Quinton Coples. Poe a very close second.

 

[CalamityX11]

Mark Barron due to his draft selection.

 

[BINGO]

Man, I hope you are right with Brockers. The Rams worry me...and Jeff Fisher normally gets it right when it comes to his defense. My bust pick though will be Shea Mclellin. I would have selected Courtney Upshaw, but being that he went in the 2nd round, he sorta got saved by the bell. How much do you expect from a 2nd rounder? Ryan Tannehill is 3rd on my list since I already know that the Dolphins will rush him into the starting lineup.

good thing u didn't pick harrison smith.

 

[Ray_Dogg]

Tannehill.

 

[BINGO]

Tannehill.

NFL - Ryan Tannehill is no Blaine Gabbert, and that's a good thing - ESPN

Correct where as Gabbert choked from the start Tannehill likes to wait until the 4th quarter.

annehill already knows 80 percent of the offense because his college head coach, Mike Sherman, is the offensive coordinator in Miami and is installing a familiar system.

The quote isn't "fact" but is about in line with what Tannehill regarding the playbook. Should make it easy for DC's no? Just pop in some A&M tape?

 

[Southern9er]

Tannehill.

Ha-rumph!

I wouldn't be a bit surprised if Brockers bust. I would take Poe as my bust pick. Blackmon second.

Poe is my #1, then Coples #2. Interesting that the Jets have two boom/bust types in Coples and Hill.

 

[numone9er]

Tannehill all the way.

 

[JMedlock5186]

Tannehill, I am also thinking the Weeden pick will be bad too

 

[charles ponzi]

I think Tannehill will be pretty good. He looks like a poor man's RG3.

Given that he played in the same system at Texas A&M, I could see doing well enough to be OROY.

That's usually their MO. Make a splash and hope it pays off...usually doesn't.
