(S22) - PT3 - Boom or Bust

[Booger]

In my opinion, one of the largest draft busts of all time was Bobby Ruckus. Bobby Ruckus was drafted by the Colorado Yeti at 10th overall in the Season 6 NSFL Draft. Even though the draft class was under 100 players that year, it is still quite the achievement to be drafted by a team within the first couple rounds, and most of the players selected here are expected to perform well throughout their careers. The Yeti hadn't put together much of a season the year before, so they were in dire need of rookies who could make solid impacts on both sides of the ball. As a result, they picked up Ruckus in the early second round, a sign of their confidence he would become a quality defensive starter for years to come. However, Ruckus would never live up to the Yeti's expectations as he ultimately became inactive and would never make any kind of impact on the league for the Yeti. Though Ruckus had performed well in the DSFL and was in many ways worthy of his draft position, teams can never be entirely sure what will come of the players they pick, which makes drafting difficult even if the prospect has shown every indication they intend to stick around.
