Interesting list. Not familiar with all the players, though.

Ouch, poor Joey Harrington. I knew he was screwed when the Lions got him. Damn Matt Millen straight to hell. LOL. He’s back around the Portland area now. I guess he’s got nothing else to do these days.

Bush is a border line bust, but his former USC teammate Leinhart isn’t?

How did Vince Young not make the list?

Isn't that sort of the point? The fact that many of them are unfamiliar is precisely because they never lived up to their draft potential.

The biggest NFL draft bust of all time is probably Leif Garrett. He was supposed to be one of the great quarterbacks of all time but never even came close to making it. A "where is he now" Wikipedia search yields up that he did have some minor success as a singer and I think he had a bit role in that "Top Secret" movie.

Ryan Leaf is in the top 10 on the all time list. Going back to 1830!;^)

I would add the Panthers giving up two first round picks for Sean Gilbert as a bust. Only one pick was in the 2000’s though.

OF interest is the article in today’s USA TODAY concerning Tim Tebow and the NFL draft..

It is remarkably straightforward. Worth reading.
