Mamula gets extra unfair (besides race) criticism because the Eagles took him over Sapp, mainly because Sapp failed another drug test before the draft and Mamula had such a tremendous workout at the combine. Mamula wasn't as good as Sapp, but it's unfair to label him a bust when he was a solid player. Bosworth too, he wasn't a bust, he was pretty good and would've been great had his shoulders not gave out on him. If you watch Boz when he was healthy (not just the Jackson play) you can clearly see how talented he was. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVTD0Yf-tEA
What about Dan Wilkinson? He was touted (even more so than Suh is being this year) by many including Bill Parcells as the best defensive player they've ever seen coming out of college. Parcells said he's a "once in a lifetime" type of talent and he wasn't even average. Look at his stats, they're hardly worthy of being a #1 overall pick...
