I think it's a toss up between all of them except J. Stewart but I'm going to take Rashard Mendenhall, because I know nobody else will. Mendenhall played better than he is in the option O at Illinois. I love his triangle #'s but I don't see him as being that great player he is supposed to be. He was impressive against USC which gives me hope, but it's a wait and see. There is a reason he fell to 23, so we'll see.

I'm going to say Mendenhall, even though I wish he'd been drafted by arizona..! On one hand, you've got to wonder why he was only a one year starter - Pierre Thomas isn't that good really... Also, from a purely suspersticious point of view, he got mugged so his luck isn't really in for him is it..! Thing is though, he's at pittsburg and he'll probably go on to be a star. Perfect position for him really. So yes i've sortof contradicted myself, but what i'm trying to say, is that if he was at another team, i think he'd be a bust!sigpic

Chris Johnson has my vote. He's brought in because he's supposed to be a scat back complementary to LenDale White. Chris Henry tried it a year ago without much luck. I don't see anything out of Johnson that will revitalize their relatively ineffective running game, nor is he the weapon they need in the passing game.- Also known as Dan.

Plus he has some good traits too, like he only fumbled once last year.- Also known as Dan.

Originally posted by SmilezDavis View PostThis is tough. I don't even know what would qualify Jones and Johnson as busts since they were both drafted to be compliments instead of the primary back for their teams. Darren McFadden had the most hype, so I gotta go with him.
