Keep finding myself in tough spot when picking towards the end of round 1 in mock drafts.

Dez? Guy is already injured and romo can't get through a season

Jordy? coming off injury and injured again

Allen Robinson? Doesn't feel like a first round pick

Gronk? No brady for 4 games and taking a TE round 1 doesn't sit well

I like AJ Green but he's normally already gone in this spot

Then there are a whole slew of round 2 type WR's but really a reach to take them late in the first

Think Brandon Marshall will have a huge year. Once he got on the same page with Fitzy he had a huge second half last year (10 2nd half TDs). He plays through injuries, outmuscles his opponents, and demands the ball. Plus the asshole of the old days has turned into a team leader today. For real.

I can see that

But still I put him in that round 2-3 discussion with guys like Mike Evans, Amari Cooper, Keenan Allen, etc

He was not a bust....wasn't outstanding but sure finished ahead of a lot other RBs....

so he has to finish last among rb's to be a bust?

A bust is someone who greatly underperforms his ADP which is exactly what he did. Guy was a top 5 pick.

Just like another poster said in here, check out his ADP this year if you don't think he was a bust as a first round pick last season.

You look back at last seasons 1st round drafts most picks were a bust .
Its amazing.
Just look at last season first round picks. Just about all of them were bust because running backs are way overvalued

Look at last seasons 1st round picks vs last seasons 2nd round picks. People got better players in the 2nd round them they did in the first

Of course Jeremy Hill was a massive bust.

The only reason he finished top 20 in total pts is because he played all 16 games, on a per game basis his fantasy performance was terrible.

He averaged 56 yards of total offense a game.

Fantasy players over valued him last year....Players are finally hip to WRs going early.....no way should he have been a first round pick...my first round pick the last couple years was Antonio Brown....guys laughed at me....let me know where brown is going this year...
I play in around 5-8 leagues and I have only lost money once in the last several years...I signed up for Willie and Choptalk's league this year...think there is a spot open if you want in...

AJG is always a player I carried on my team but the qb has fallen in love with the TE lately and is now the number 1 red zone target.
I don't love him near as much as I use to. I would put Cooper above him maybe even cooks.

Cincy TE is already battling with injuries this year...have done a couple mock drafts picking 12th and Greene is usually picked anywhere from 11-14...

Why are you completely ignoring the other guys in here who agree with me that he was a huge bust?

It isn't like if his consensus ADP was 10-15 spots lower he wouldn't have been a bust. He delivered like 6th or 7th rd value.

Saying he isn't a bust is like saying broadcast.com wasn't a bust because it should've never been valued at 5 billion in the first place. BUST
