    Andre Woolfolk was easily the least talented. And then you look at the CBs that went immediately after him: Rasheen Mathis, Peanut Tillman, Nnamdi Asomugha, Sammy Davis, and Drayton Florence. My god. Every single one of those guys was some degree of better and lasted more than four years in the league.

    It's easy to say the QBs because they're the highest profile pick possible, but was VY really that big of a bust? He wasn't all that good, but he certainly wasn't awful.

    Jake Locker was never going to be a star, but he could have been serviceable, we'll just never know.

    Pacman Jones had the talent. He's made a good career for himself over the last ten years. The thing that hurts is we passed on Aaron Rodgers to select him. That's why I say he was the worst pick, but not the biggest bust.

    Best pick? Michael Roos. Franchise LT in the second round and they passed on Khalif Barnes to do it. Barnes was alright, but Roos was damn good.

    Depending on what front we go with next year Dodd MIGHT be able to salvage his career...

    Unlikely but the one thing I know is that guy should not be asked to play LB

    i would say Locker was worse than VY; at least Vince won the titans some games and won those games with Jeff Fisher as head coach. Locker brought nothing to table except interceptions and sailing passes

    I'm torn between Eddie George and Steve McNair as the BEST because you cannot mention the Titans without bringing them up. There were so many great players tho. Wycheck, The Freak, Bruce Matthews, Rolle. We had such a balanced team back then.

    To me the definition of a bust is a player that accomplishes ABSOLUTELY NOTHING
    By far Jake Locker was the WORST in the history of this franchise. A BUST. He was inaccurate in college so why Webster expected him to be different in the NFL is beyond me smh. DGB and Woofolk fit the bill. Can't say that about Dyson. He gave us a few memorable plays but he was not quite a bust. Pac Man was a good player, just couldn't change his way of thinking or mature. Money does that to some folks who never had it. VY won games and got Offensive ROY.I can't say he was a bust. VY was somewhat selfish and Fisher wanted him to be a pocket passer and we know the rest.
