Sauce Gardner and Darrell Stingley. Waaay overdrafted. All-timers like Deion Sanders and Rod Woodson went #5 and #9, respectively. Cornerback is not that valuable, and very hard to predict.

Washington's pick WR Jahan Dotson is a prime candidate to be a bust.

Tyquan Thornton. I know nothing about the guy but he’s a receiver and the Patriots picked him. As Don mentioned, for at least 10 years they’ve struck out on every WR they’ve picked in the earlier rounds. Would anyone want to bet this one will be different?

He's got good height and speed, but drops a lot of passes. He's a poor man's Marquez Valdes-Scantling. That's a kind of guy you throw a dart at during rounds 5-6. Not trade up for in round 2.

Changing my OT bust pick from Darian Kinnard to Daniel Faalele since I don't think it's quite fair to label a 5th rounder as a bust if he doesn't pan out. I guess the NFL teams also saw what I saw. Switching Jalen Wydermyer to Jelani Woods for the same reason.
