Who do you feel may be a bust that will get selected in the first round and the reason or reasons why? I don't want to include QBs. I have a few. The guy that I'm really leery about especially because he is such a strong possibility for Miami's first pick is Ja'Marr Chase. The way he wins at the college level is with his strength at the top of his routes. He's sturdily built but he's not what I would call big so I wonder if he can still "win" his matchup when he is facing NFL caliber CBs. He's not an exceptional route runner and opting out after only one season of high level production on maybe the most prolific offenses in college football history has me concerned.
Azeez Ojulari is another guy who I think may not live up to expectations. He is really short and light for an edge guy. He would really have to be in the right system for him to succeed. I don't see him as a fit for Miami anyway. Most of the edge guys in this draft have warts, and I'm really not enamored with any of them except for maybe Collins.
Lastly, Rashawn Slater is being projected as a tackle, but does he have the length to be great at tackle? I think he may be best suited to play inside, especially center.
 
Pitts- he will have to play in more than his underwear thus making his unicorn status vanish

Najee Harris- if drafted in the 1st. I think he will be solid, but I think Etienne and Williams will have better careers

Agree with you on Chase. I think this year is full of fools gold.
 
D. Smith will disappoint the most people immediately but the biggest "bust" will have to be Trevor Lawrence imo

He's being discussed like he'll be an automatic pro bowler and man, I just really see a lot of glaring holes in his deep passing game that will really bring him down to earth. I may be underselling his RPO ability and that Urban Meyer offense but I just... I just dont see it being great.

Agree with Najee..not Chase or Pitts.

I think it's gonna be DeVonta Smith, tbh. Man has BUST written all over him.

Agree..Lawrence will also be a bust if for no other reason than he's been put in the same breath as P. Manning and T. Brady and that ilk as a #1 overall pick..HOF or bust for him!
 
The player who is drafted in the first round and then never becomes a solid starter in the NFL. That is who will be considered a bust and it happens every year with several first round draft picks. I just hope the Dolphins avoid drafting this type player with their 2 first round draft picks.

Chase is long gone so no need to worry there. Burrow is gonna get his guy, rightfully so

Rousseau.. his pro day looked very underwhelming.

I think Rousseau is certainly a boom or bust prospect. I wouldn’t have an issue with the Dolphins selecting him in the second round simply because I think he could develop into a very good player over the next few years. Yet I expect first round picks to come in and start immediately and make an impact.

If Rousseau were to be drafted in the 2nd round and ended up being a bust, it would hurt. Yet it wouldn’t be nearly as devastating if he was drafted with the 18th pick and ended up being a bust.

Rousseau is the type of player Grier drafts at 18....

I have a bad feeling about Grier being in control of this draft.
 
Kwite Paye.
I think Davonte Smith will have at worse a "respectable" career.
The only issue with him is that he is skinny. I've known some skinny guys in my life who were the toughest motherfuc*** you'd ever want to meet.
I'm not writing off his skill set because he's skinny. Healthy debate is fair about where he should be drafted, what is too high for him, but please let's not overlook the man's ability because he is skinny.
