As mentioned in a recent article by Apolo I have the distinct honor of being the only SFL GM to have never drafted in the first round of any SFL entry draft. So, I can not have the honor of drafting a first round bust. In our league it?s actually pretty hard to have a bust in the first round, especially early in the first round. Let us take a look at the top 5 players in each SFL draft. While these players may not be ?busts?, who do you believe to have the least impact thus far? By the way, for this I stopped at the 2006 draft since it is too early for anyone to be considered a bust from the 2007 draft.
While I do not think anyone drafted in the top 5 is a ?bust? my vote for being the least influential would be the Jacksonville Jaguars RT Brett Williams who was drafted with the 5th pick in the 2003 draft. Williams had a 50+ pancake and 0 sack allowed season last year to really challenge my choice.
