In what many called the most talented Draft in a generation, this particular draft has been one to forget. It might not be as bad as 2008, but it isn't all that particularly special. Booms are going to be through all 7 rounds. Busts are only going to be through 3 rounds because generally speaking, rounds 4-7 is pretty much flipping a coin. Anyone who is not in this list is either an average-slightly above average contributor to a team that has not qualified as a boom, or a solid contributor, but not a starter that has not qualified as a bust just yet.
Booms:
1. QB Andrew Luck, IND 9. LB Luke Kuechly, CAR 11. NT Dontari Poe, KC 20. WR Kendall Wright, TEN 21. DE Chandler Jones, NE 24. OG David DeCastro, PIT 29. S Harrison Smith, MIN 41. OT Cordy Glenn, BUF 45. WR Alshon Jeffery, CHI 47. LB Bobby Wagner, SEA 58. LB Lavonte David, TB 60. OG Kelechi Osemeli, BAL 62. CB Casey Heyward, GB 72. DE Olivier Vernon, MIA 75. QB Russell Wilson, SEA 83. WR Mohamed Sanu, CIN 92. WR T.Y. Hilton, IND 167. S George Iloka, CIN 173. RB Alfred Morris, WAS 188. LB Danny Trevathan, DEN 248. OT Kelvin Beachum, PIT
Busts:
2. QB Robert Griffin III, WAS 3. RB Trent Richardson, CLE 4. OT Matt Kalil, MIN 5. WR Justin Blackmon, JAX 6. CB Morris Claiborne, DAL 7. S Mark Barron, TB 16. LB Quinton Coples, NYJ 17. CB Dre Kirkpatrick, CIN 18. LB Melvin Ingram, SD 19. DE Shea Mclellin, CHI 22. QB Brandon Weeden, CLE 26. LB Whitney Mercilus, HOU 28. LB Nick Perry, GB 30. WR A.J. Jenkins, SF 32. RB David Wilson, NYG 39. CB Janoris Jenkins, STL 42. OT Jonathan Martin, MIA 43. WR Stephen Hill, NYJ 48. S Tavon Wilson, NE 50. RB Isaiah Pead, STL 51. DT Jerel Worthy, GB 54. WR Ryan Broyles, DET 55. C Peter Konz, ATL 56. OT Mike Adams, PIT 61. RB LaMichael James, SF 73. S Brandon Taylor, SD 77. LB Demario Davis, NYJ 78. TE Michael Egnew, MIA 79. S Brandon Hardin, CHI 80. CB Jamel Fleming, ARI 81. DE Tyrone Crawford, DAL 85. CB Dwight Bentley, DET 87. DT John Hughes, CLE 90. DE Jake Bequette, NE 91. OT Lamar Holmes, ATL 93. DT Brandon Thompson, CIN 94. CB Jayron Hosely, NYG 95. OG Tony Bergstrom, OAK

Still too early to call some of them busts IMO.
Blackmon - When he plays he has been good. He just has been suspended too often. His off field issues IMO haven't made him a bust yet.. If he comes back next year and continues from where he left off playing he will be a good WR in this league.
Mark Barron - Wouldn't call him a bust necessarily.. Didn't live up to the extreme hype of him being the next great safety, but he is still a good safety.
Kirkpatrick - He hasn't even played really, how can you call him a bust yet?
Janoris Jenkins - He is a good CB how the hell is he a bust?
Jon Martin - not a bust, he is a solid tackle who is on a team with two great tackles. He just had a breakdown, that doesn't make him a bust.

Not having Hightower in the "booms" is crazy. He is easily having a pro bowl caliber season and the only reason he wont make it is because he is playing so many different positions. Arguably our best defensive player this season and that is saying a lot on defense that is this deep.

He just had a breakdown, that doesn't make him a bust. Only disagree with Blackmon. He was one of the league's worst starters when he was playing. Terrible at route running and getting seperation. He's a bust. All the others, especially Janoris Jenkins, are not busts. I am okay with Mercilus being a bust. He gets credit for what the rest of the Texans D has done but he hasn't been productive. Nick Foles needs to be added to Booms. I realize he didn't play great this year, but for the value they got, he's a boom.

Matt Kalil had one good season, but he has fallen off dramatically. He has given up the most sacks this year out of all starting Offensive Lineman.

Of course he was one of the worst starting receivers. He still had flashes despite having horrid QB play.
