2011 Draft: Which First Round Picks Do You Feel Will Bust?

[Dirtbag59]

Mine are as follows.

Jake Locker - QB - Titans - I just don't trust Chris Palmer to tap into Jake Locker's talent. The good news is he'll have a running game, a line to protect him, and a defense and he'll win games in spite of average numbers earning the obscure arbitrary title of "winner."

Cam Newton - QB - Panthers - I don't like the idea of a team on the verge of loosing it's only receiving threat, bringing in a raw QB with a defensive head coach. Of course Newton is a "winner" so all arguments are moot. On top of that Newton doesn't pass the 26-27-60 rule.

Aldon Smith - OLB - 49ers - He's not a winner. Lol, but in all seriousness I get the Aaron Maybin/Manny Lawson/Jamaal Anderson vibe. A guy who was drafted to high over better prospects. Most notably Quinn.

Von Miller - OLB - Bronco's - Not that he's going to be a bad player, just more of a why are you drafting a 3-4 OLB 2nd overall when you play a 4-3. Basically in order to be worth his high draft status in this defense he'll have to play like Derrick Brooks. Maybe a better way of putting this is drafting Glenn Dorsey to play a 3-4.

Nick Fairely - DT - Detroit - Taking a risk doubting Fairely paired with Suh, but I've seen the overkill strategy blow up in Detroit before. On top of that the opportunity cost doesn't help. In Detroit you have a talented but oft-injured QB that for 6 games will be chased by the likes of Peppers, Matthews, and Allen. Ironically Jamaal Brown would be a perfect fit in Detroit.

Anyway I don't want to take all the fun.
