You still need to draft the right guy & most teams don't.

My .02.

I could be wrong, but methinks it's harder to draft a bust today than yesteryear in the very early first round picks. The stakes are so high now, teams do a better job of due diligence on those early picks.

Hmm, I don't know about that one.

Taco Charlton, Kevin White, Haskins (R.I.P), Rosen, Trubisky or your guy Mr. 2.8 QBR Sam Darnold. Zach Wilson still has time but he's trending as a bust of a QB.

Jury is still out on Trey Lance too.
