Tbf to the '92 draft class, Smith & Woodson absolutely belong in the Hall.

In 1958 the two players drafted are the following: Stuart King Hill: A bust. Had a 37/71 int ratio but it was to 50s where the passing game was starting to become popular, but he also was a bad rusher. He was a better punter but not a great one. He spent 11 seasons in the NFL. John David Crow: He was WAY much better. He has 5000 rushing ads, 38 rushing yards, 3700 rec yards and 35 rec tds. He was a 2x all-pro and a 4x pro bowler. Spent 11 seasons in the NFL. To conclude, the Cards were successful and not successful with their first two draft picks.

That was great

I'm the second round, another team had back-to-back picks: the Cowboys took WR Jimmy Smith at 36 and SS Darren Woodson at 37. Woodson was arguably the best player in that draft class (certainly the most decorated). Jimmy Smith had a bumpy transition to the NFL, which included undiagnosed appendicitis, undiagnosed surgical infection from the appendectomy, and a lengthy legal battle with Dallas to keep his salary and health benefits during his recovery. After returning to the NFL with the Jaguars following a two-season recuperation period, he amassed 7 straight 1,000 yard seasons and 9 in 10. He retired with 862 receptions for 12,287 yards and 67 TDs. Edit: I really should have watched the "aftermath" section of the video before commenting, sorry. 😅 I'm keeping the comment up because the Jimmy Smith story is so wild it needs to be told.

Weird for Tampa to give a first for Chandler when they would have been only planning for him to be a backup with Testaverde there at the time.

Due to injuries, Steve Emtman and Quentin Coryatt weren't nearly as big at being busts as two players who were essentially "traded" for each other since teams traded draft picks and they were the team picks: Desmond Howard and David Klingler. The Bengals had the #4 pick after Emtman was #1, Coryatt #2 and Sean Gilbert #3 with the Rams. Washington decidedly wanted to get Howard, but knew Green Bay intended to draft him at #5. Consequently, they gave the Bengals the #6 pick and the #28 pick for the #4 pick and a swap of 3rd round picks. Washington took Howard so Green Bay drafted Terrell Buckley at #5 while Cincy took Klingler. Miami ended up getting Troy Vincent at #7 who had played at Wisconsin.

No. A bust is someone who either can’t play or someone who has issues and doesn’t work at it. Any player is susceptible to injuries which could end their career, it shouldn’t be a reflection on their character or natural ability. It could happen to anyone - injured players should NOT be lumped together with actual busts.

Coryatt was very good when healthy.

You misstate the trade of teams. Bob Irsay was a NEW owner of the Rams - quite possibly put over the top in his bid for the franchise with a little help from Rosenbloom - and the trade was made immediately. The Colts were the more valuable of the two franchises. Rosenbloom was super-frustrated having to deal with Maryland politicians to get a football-only stadium done - cost of which would have come out of his own pocket - and he swapped franchises to avoid that huge expense and frustration. I have heard, and believe it true, that there were tax advantages to a franchise swap rather than selling the Colts and then buying the Rams, so this is the way he did it. Rosenbloom was a crafty businessman. Irsay was a preposterous, blustering, alcoholic liar who made his money going into competition with his parents in the Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning business, putting them under, and then selling his company to a big corporation. I think he bought the Rams for $14M. I'd need to look it up, but I think that's right. Wrap your head around that.

but he really wasn't pick number 2 productive. More like production you expect from a 4th round linebacker. With a #2 pick you expect game changing, multiple Pro Bowls/All Pros, like he said lots of tackles but very little in terms of sacks and turnovers.

Emtman was likely juicing, which was rampant in the NFL at that time. See also #TonyMandarich

IMO To be a "bust" you have to fail for reasons other than injuries.

The 1991 draft was also pretty weak.

I don't know if I'd go that far. I mean it's hard to call a draft that produced a player like Brett Favre weak...

@@ashleighelizabeth5916 I took another look at that draft, and it's better in retrospect. It took a season or two for players such as Favre and Herman Moore to make their mark, and there's players such as Aeneas Williams, Eric Turner, Todd Lyght, Mo Lewis, Eric Swann, Mike Pritchard, Alvin Harper...I guess I was focusing on the rookies of the year for that season, for in the AFC Leonard Russell (a poor man's Ottis Anderson on a good day) was the offensive ROY, and Mike Croehl (a third-down sack specialist, and that was his peak year) was defensive ROY. In the NFC, Lawrence Dawsey of Tampa Bay was offensive ROY (also his peak), while Aeneas Williams (Now we're talking!) was defensive ROY. I feel overall though, that with the exception of the 1989 draft, the 1987-1993 drafts were lacking in fresh talent, especially offensively (may explain why offense was so poor by 1993). Anyway, thanks for prompting me to revisit the 1991 NFL Draft, which is certainly better than 1990 or 1992🤔.

@@gluserty 87 was definitely weak. However 88 produced Tim Brown and Michael Irvin (both HOFers) as well as Sterling Sharpe (injuries are the only reason he isn't a HOF), Keith Jackson and Thurman Thomas (another HOFer). I've omitted several noteworthy offensive linemen in consideration of the phrase "offensive power". 1990 gave us Emmitt Smith and I could stop the conversation about offensive production for that draft right there if I wanted to. But in addition to Emmitt we also got Rodney Hampton, Neill O'Donnell (say what you will but the man took his team to a Super Bowl in 95), Brian Mitchell (consistently rated as one of the greatest return men of all time), Shannon Sharpe (in the HOF alongside Emmitt), Larry Centers (all pro and 3x pro bowler) and Barry Foster (all pro and 2x pro bowler). Just Emmitt and Shannon all by themselves make that an extraordinary draft. 1992 I agree that whole draft was just garbage. I mean Jimmy Smith was good enough to have gone to the Hall if his career had been longer but aside from him??? Desmond Howard? Borderline bust for such a high drat choice. Jeff Blake maybe? Never had a chance with a garbage team in Cincy! 1993 was better with Jerome Bettis, Drew Bledsoe, Garrison Hearst and Mark Brunell but not great. I think what makes it feel like those drafts were the number of high round busts that happened in that era. People like Blair Thomas, Andre Ware, David Klingler and Rick Mire left a taint of failure on that era. Then there were others that had a promising career cut short by career ending injuries like Icky Woods. All this is to say that the draft is a total and complete crapshoot. For all the millions of dollars spent on scouting and draft analysis the teams would do just about as well selecting their rookies using a dart board in most cases. Which is why I'm not particularly stressed about the draft right now. Nobody knows how those kids are going to shape up on the field and the odds that several of those high round QBs are going to be a bust are pretty strong.

@@ashleighelizabeth5916 You're right about the players that didn't live up to their draft spot making it feel like the draft as a whole didn't amount to much. For me, Aundray Bruce going #1 overall in the '88 leaves a bad impression, though I agree about Tim Brown (should've went #1 overall due to being great as a returner & receiver, and also should've been elected to the Hall of Fame sooner), Irvin, Keith Jackson, Thurman Thomas (really should've gone in the 1st round, no question) & Sharpe (I agree, he was great, and in an offense geared to get him the ball; shame he had to retire before winning a championship and elevating his numbers further). I guess '88 bothers me due to a lack of a consensus #1 or top 5. It's really the way I'm looking at it more than the quality of the players you named.kgv Brian Mitchell, Rodney Hampton, Emmitt Smith, Johnny Johnson, Barry Foster...1990 turned out to be a good year for backs. I wonder about Blair Thomas; he could cutback well, but was good for 8-15 yard runs, not much 20+ (averaged 5 per as a rookie though). It didn't help that the Bruce Coslet Jets had running back by committee (like the Bengals offenses of the 1980's he coordinated), he fumbled too much, and was often injured. I still wonder what Thomas could've achieved with 300 carries; could he have been, say, what Adrian Murrell became, or did he lack elite instincts and vision (Emmitt Smith didn't have breakaway speed, yet he had a metric ton of breakaway runs)? I ask this, but like you said, the draft is a crapshoot, and many factors end up being complete mysteries, both for the positive and negative.

The earth safe family managed to ruin, or near ruin some fof the most gifted QBs for decades . Black lady Johnny Unitas avoided or say but the year after us about the team Bert Jones LSU quarterback was drafted number to overall. Bill belichick who was on staff at the time, later said Jones was the best quarterback he'd ever seen. A shoulder injury and massive medical staff incompetence treating it turned Bert from NFL MVP to washed in just a few years. Peyton Manning, perhaps the best player to ever play in quarterback, managed only one super bowl win with the team now run by the younger Irsay. Then in a lightning bolt of LUCK the colts managed to draft Andrew Luck, a once in a lifetime phenom. He performed amazingly until he got tired of being sacked behind an atrocious OLine. He retired actually having lost his Love of the game...... Imagine that... Things were so bad that luck actually lost his love of football. Now that is ruining quarterbacks on an epic level. The Irsays get the lifetime award in that category. And without those three quarterbacks the colts would have been a bigger laughingstock than the Cleveland Browns or the Detroit Lions.

Emtman wasn't a bust. People have got to quit saying bust when a guy suffers career ending injuries.

A "bust" can also be someone who is injury prone. The best ability is availability. This is why Steve Emtman, Charles Rodgers, Ki-Jana Carter, and Brian Bosworth are all considered "busts."

Eroc Dickrson never had a star QB his whole career RAMS , COLTS then finally it was going to happen and QB who never had RB great now they wouldve one the QB Brett Farve and Eric was coming to GB as a packer fan i was wow who will the D key but going back to COLTS now you look on paper and back to back picks it looked like a HR they were both suppose to be ver good
