Most Likely First Round Bust

jdlea · 04-28-2009, 09:34 AM

I'm going with Mark Sanchez. I don't think he had enough college experience to become a good NFL QB.

Slingin Sammy 33 · 04-28-2009, 09:39 AM

Here are my likely busts:
1) Sanchez - way overhyped, won't come anywhere close to expectations. LA & NY are two different animals. It'll be interesting to see how he responds when the weather gets bad, he's playing a tough D, he makes a mistake or two and the fans start to boo. He'll be wishing he stayed in the warm sunshine of USC and my guess is he won't respond very well at all.

2) Andre Smith - He'll be pushing 4-bills and be involved in off-field incidents.

3) Heyward-Bey - How can anyone be successful with the Raiders?

4) Larry English - Numbers are inflated from weak competition, will be a back-up, nothing more. Injuries will likely be an issue.

5) Percy Harvin - coached against him at HS level, never seen anyone so fast in person. However, questionable hands, route running suspect, off-field issues probable, injuries probable. Didn't return kicks or punts at UF. Will struggle when he can't outrun everyone at the NFL level.

Man, listening to Jason la Confora this morning on Comcast, it sound slike he thinks Rak Attack is gonna suck. He's such a negative little prick.

I heard that too. What did JLC say, he thought Orakpo would end up as an average player at best. Part of me gets slightly worried when I hear that sort of thing but then I remember the source.

The next time JLC says anything accurate about the Redskins will be the first.

Among his 'misses' over the past few months:
-Redskins won't be involved in/be able to afford/sign Haynesworth.
-Redskins won't be able to retain DeAngelo Hall
-Redskins won't be able to afford Haynesworth and Hall
-Redskins will keep Springs for at least another year
-Redskins will keep Jason Taylor for at least another year
-Redskins will look to trade Carlos Rogers and/or Rocky McIntosh before the draft
-Redskins won't be involved in Cutler talks
-Redskins won't be interested in Sanchez

Of course he also said last season that we'd be no better than 6-10.

I'm amazed the Post hasn't moved or replaced him on the Redskins beat. Jason Reid seems to be more more unbiased and has a good rapport with the players. He also seems like he hasn't pissed off the front office like JLC has. I'd like to see Reid as the #1 and have JLC cover DC United (are they still around?).

Disagree with one thing...JLC should be punted to cover Pro Lacrosse.

Great record keeping Pain! JLC's stats are far worse than Orapkos. JLC feels Orapko is a bust, we all feel JLC is the bust!

I think Matthew Stafford is gonna get killed in Detroit. He's my bust pick.

That is my pick too. He is going to be eating a lot of turf.

Soup's Uncle · 04-28-2009, 09:46 AM

^Seriously, Jason La Confora is so annoying. Larry Michael used to make my skin crawl but now I find him refreshing after hearing the negative BS pumped out by JLC. No matter what pick we would have made, he would have taken the opposite stance.

If we would ahve drafted lineman late, he would have said "How are you going to get anything out of a 6th rounder? What a waste."

I hope he gets a chance to interview Orakpo and he shits his pants witnessing such a physical specimen.

MTK · 04-28-2009, 10:55 AM

And if we passed on Orakpo I can only imagine JLC ranting on how we yet again ignored the DL and missed the chance to have a quality pass rush threat.

Well done. JLC will always find something to whine about.

No doubt it will be Sanchez. Who does he have to throw to?

He's gonna be paid to manage the game not win it. 3 strong runningbacks great defense yes mediocre wrs but as long as he doesn't go Phil Mickelson or bust a Peyton Manning he sholud be okay.

franklinhimself · 04-28-2009, 02:04 PM

Damn JLC. I just can't even read his columns. It's like listening to Chris Matthews and Fox News. No matter what the event is, their opinions are made up before anything's even happened.

Orakpo will be GOOD this year, with 6 sacks I predict, rotating at DE with Daniels and Wynn.
2010 Orakpo will probably have 10.5 sacks, and only continue to improve.

Andre Smith is the guaranteed bust of this draft. Look what happened when the Nick Saban locker room disappeared?- Out of shape, stupid, lazy, terrible character.
The Bang-gals locker room is a POS. He walks away with his signing bonus and pisses it away in 3 years. Hope the kid proves me wrong. For his sake.
