There are numerous rookies who don't start but get significant playing time that are not busts.

Fine - when Brett Favre is starting and you're drafted in the first round, you may have to wait (Exception F1)...

But first round picks should be starting and having an impact in their first season...

So do you think that if you're a 1st round pick at any position other than QB, and you don't start or have an impact in your 1st year, you're a bust?

I think that if you aren't having a significant impact by game 10 of your rookie season, something is seriously wrong with either the front office to picking the loser or the player for mailing it in.

You get half a season to make the transition and learn the speed of the game. For the money a 1st rounder gets, the team should justifiably expect the player to deliver.

I'm okay with shared time for a couple of years, but by year three they need to be kicking ass or bust. I bet a bunch more make it into the bust category even with my forgiving definition. That's just the nature of the beast.
