(S22) - PT3 - Boom or Bust

[siddhus]

i mean, I gotta say, when u think of draft busts, arent Chicago always in contention. Did some research and in the first round they drafted a WR by the name of Sweet James-Jones. Well if you dont know him, he was banned from the league, so does not really seem like a first round pick. Since Chicago was a pretty new franchise, it was the start or middle of their downwards spiral since then.

To make this even worse based on my research, a Wide Reciever was always chosen, and I always say, dont draft the same position twice in the first round. This was in season 19, where if you look at it now, there are top prospects like Jed Podolak and Rayne Gordo who are better prospects in retrospect.

Well, if I have not explained why it is a bust, lets think about what a first round pick is. A first round pick should be someone that the whole franchise is supposed to be built around. If you can't count on a first round pick, then you might as well trade all your picks. Now, Chicago should not get all blame since no one knew he would get banned, but thats what draft scouting is for, too spot the people who are red flags, like me!
