    Jamarcus Russel should have made that list.

      I would move Mandrich to #10. He did manage to have a semblance of a career with the Colts after the Pack cut him. I don't think that could be said for anybody else on that list.

        To be fair, the notes below the video say "In light of JaMarcus Russell's release, NFL Network counts down the top 10 draft busts."

        Which means, the list was made before Russell's release, which could have factored into him not making the list. The list was made in 2010, so guys like Maybin weren't necessarily condiered "bust" material yet, either.

        If you do this list today, chances are good that Russell is on it.

          Like I said Mandrich should have been at #10 so with Russell added, which he should be, Mandrich moves all the way to #11 & off the list of top 10. IMO.

            Well, to be fair, I had to google Art Schlichter... I am decent when it comes to football and history, but I had never heard of the guy.

              Emtman and Carlos Rogers unfortunately had their career derailed by injury, not sure if I'd include them on that list. If you throw those two on, there's always Curtis Enis and Kijana Carter.

              And Tim Couch has finally fallen off of these lists? LOL

                The Bills actually signed him as a FA at one point.

                    Gerard Warren was a bigger bust than Courtney Brown though.

                      Perhaps there are no Bills on the list, but the Bills have had some lulus through their history. Perry Tuttle, anyone? Or Walt Patulski?
                      I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.

                      I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

                          Emtman gets a bit of a raw deal on these bust lists. The dude was pretty good when he wasn't blowing out a knee or rupturing a disk in his neck.

                          He was more a victim of bad luck than anything.

                            Well, I don't know if your search included this, but Schlichter played a short time for the Bills. He had talent, but a gambling addiction ruined his life.

                              I agree, he could have possibly been a HOF player had he not been injured.
