Boom or bust

I can't guarantee these are the same people who talking now, but here's a poll http://espn.go.com/sportsnation/ballot/_/id/4200/potential-first-round-busts#top ESPN conducted after the 2008 draft.

One might keep this in perspective when reading fans' educated analysis of the Jaguars' draft.

Top 5 Most Likely To Be Busts From 2008:

46.3% - No. 3 - QB Matt Ryan (Atlanta Falcons)
39.5% - No. 18 - QB Joe Flacco (Baltimore Ravens)
37.0% - No. 24 - RB Chris Johnson (Tennessee Titans)
33.3% - No. 8 - DE Derrick Harvey (Jacksonville Jaguars)
31.0% - No. 6 - DE Vernon Gholston (New York Jets)

Top 5 Least Likely To Be Busts From 2008:

6.1% - No. 15 - OG Branden Albert (Kansas City Chiefs)
7.4% - No. 5 - DT Glenn Dorsey (Kansas City Chiefs)
7.4% - No. 25 - DB Mike Jenkins (Dallas Cowboys)
7.5% - No. 2 - DE Chris Long (St. Louis Rams)
7.7% - No. 1 - OT Jake Long (Miami Dolphins)

And I have a good feeling about Harvey.

That's why you can't believe everything the media tells you

The only sure fire bust to this point on the first list is Gholston. The jury is still out on Harvey and the other 3 are starters and will be for a long time.
I don’t know much about the players on the other list, but i know that Chris Long hasn’t been good.
