Top 10 Busts of the 2009 NFL Draft

By Gunaxin on February 24th, 2010

With the NFL combine starting Thursday, we felt it was appropriate to look back at the top 10 busts of the 2009 draft. You never want to jump the gun on calling somebody a bust, but by the effort shown by some of these guys last season it’s hard to believe they’ll get a chance to prove us wrong.

Brandon Myers – TE – Iowa

Drafted 202nd overall by the Oakland Raiders

durr...

2009 Stats: 4 receptions, 19 yards, 0 TDs

4 catches for 19 yards? Who does this guy think he is? Darrius Heyward-Bey?

Fui Vakapuna – RB – BYU

Drafted 215th overall by the Cincinnati Bengals

worst Towelie impression EVER

2009 Stats: 0 carries, 0 receptions, 0 total yards

Fui had as successful a 2009 as I did! I could totally be in the NFL!

Curtis Taylor – Safety – LSU

Drafted 219th overall by the San Francisco 49ers

Can I get the origin of the word? No? Poop.

2009 stats: 7 games played, 4 combined tackles, 3 solo tackles, 0 passed defended, 0 interceptions, 0 forced fumbles.

The next Ronnie Lott? I wouldn’t trust him to cover the parking lot.

Zack Follett – LB – Cal

Drafted 235th overall by the Detroit Lions

Zack struggles for the right to be the big spoon

2009 stats: Appeared in 12 games, 10 combined tackles of which 4 were assisted, 0 sacks, 0 interceptions, 0 passes defended.

You get drafted by the Lions and you can’t make more than 10 tackles? Your defense is ALWAYS on the field. Waste of a draft pick. Detroit, this is why you perennially suck.

Marko Mitchell – WR – Nevada

Drafted 243rd overall by the Washington Redskins

Wow, Pokie got old!

2009 stats: Appeared in 10 games, 4 receptions, 32 yards, 0 touchdowns

The vaunted Redskins offense got a real game changer with Marko. Nice pick guys. Lofty pick.

E.J. Biggers – CB – Western Michigan

Drafted 217 overall by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers

You lied, Google Image search! That cannot be EJ Biggers! Or can it be?

2009 stats: 0 games playes, 0 tackles, 0 passes defended, 0 interceptions, 0 forced fumbles, 0 slaps on the hind end.

Tampa got this pick from Jacksonville in a trade. Great move guys, this schmuck really solidified your secondary.

Stoney Woodson – CB – South Carolina

Drafted 238th overall by the New York Giants

StoneyHenge. No? I quit.

2009 stats: no stats

As shaky as the Giants defensive backfield was last season and Stoney couldn’t even crack the roster? What a waste.

Darryl Richard – DT – Georgia Tech

Drafted 234th overall by the New England Patriots

I spent too much time on StoneyHenge to be clever on this one.

2009 stats: no stats

Darryl would have rated higher on the list, but his number on NFL.com is listed as #69 and that makes me laugh. I’m 12 years old.

A. Q. Shipley – C – Penn State

Drafted 226th overall by the Pittsburgh Steelers

HEY YOU GUYS!

2009 stats: no stats

A.Q.? Is that a name or the worst final two letters in scrabble history? Can it be both?

Blake Schlueter – C – TCU

Drafted 225th overall by the Denver Broncos

Missed a spot...on the roster

2009 stats: no stats

Can you say REACH? 31 people drafted after this guy and he doesn’t even make the team! I haven’t seen this big a bust since the last time I saw Andre Smith’s combine picture.
