At what round can a pick be considered a bust?

Mike Martin is no bum

 

Depends on the degree of the bust. Those guys were indeed busts because they did absolutely nothing. Nothing. I don't think Paul Williams ever caught a pass. But in a typical sense, I'd say first two rounds. Curran and Williams just shouldn't have been drafted where they were drafted. I think that much is clear.

 

Are you calling Martin a bust already? It's not a big deal if Martin doesnt produce at all this year. It will be too easy to cut ties and move on.

Therefore, Martin won't be considered a bust to this franchise.

 

He was a NT drafted to play 3-technique DT, hes been used all wrong up til now. Give him a chance with NFL coaches.

 

He's been in the league 2 years and we want to call him a bust haha. Why don't you let him take some snaps in the new system before you label him a bust.

Must not be much to talk about if a thread about Mike Martin and 3rd round picks years ago are getting their own.

 

You want to talk about Titan busts (1999 draft-present)...

Andre Woolfolk
Tyrone Calico
Ben Troupe
Vince Young
Chris Henry
Kenny Britt
Sen'Derrick Marks

Those are just players taken in the first two rounds... We've had some god awful picks after them as well. I'm afraid we will be adding Locker, Ayers, and Brown to that list soon.

You could probably throw Pacman and LenDale in there too, but Pacman was undeniably amazing for a couple seasons. He was definitely not worth the draft pick, and I wanted Aaron Rodgers with that pick (and admittedly wanted VY the next year). Hard for me to call LenDale a bust because he did contribute for a few years, but it was an awful pick especially when MJD was still on the board.

Notice the years of those busts... 2003-2009. Yep. Makes a lot of sense that we've sucked since then (with the exception of one year) when you draft like an absolute jackass for an extended period of time.

 

It's so weird to think of VY as a bust.

Rookie of the Year, 2X Pro Bowler (although it's arguable they were not deserved.)

He is a bust cause he suppose to the franchise QB. But he contributed more to the team more than Pac or Lendale.

But to answer the OP question, I'd say first 2 rounds.

As for players like Curran, he was a compensatory pick. So he was pretty much a 4th round pick.
