    Every draft there is a list of players that get labelled boom or bust. It seems to me a large majority of these players tend to be busts. Maybe it's because the busts stick out, but for the life of me I can't remember the last guy with that label to actually boom. Someone help me out.

    Did you really just quote yourself so you could laugh at your own post?

    One of the most obvious booms is Randy Moss. He had a lot of off field troubles and 20 teams passed on him until the Vikings picked him with the 21st pick. Everyone knew he was talented as shit and worth a top 5 pick, but they also feared that he'd get into trouble and end up a giant bust.

    Andre Smith from last year.

    Bengals seemed to be ok with him at LT when he got healthy.

    Brick was a "project" and not a boom/bust type. The dude didn't grow into his frame yet. He needed a couple of years. Those who didn't know that labeled him as a bust. He was worth the #4 overall.

    smith was the only one i could find. When healthy he seemed to be okay, but I don't think he'll be an elite LT, making him unworthy of his 6th overall selection

    So, Jerry Hughes is going to be a bust in a 3-4? I'm going to go out on a limb, and assume that you are just listening to Mr. Electric, and making his opinions your own.

    So if you think he's going to be a bust only in the 3-4, what part of his skillset makes him better suited to play with his hand on the ground in a 4-3? What part of his skillset will make him fail playing in space?

    His arms are fine at 33"

    Sergio Kindles are 33 1/4
    Brandan Graham's are 32 1/4

    Find another argument.
