Busts come in all shapes and sizes (Vive le difference!). Some simply lack NFL ability, some suffer unfortunate injuries, and some lack the necessary drive to make it. From 2000-2003, 102 players are identified as significant busts, and the only team that did not draft one is the New York Jets.

Yes, you read that correctly. The

actually drafted pretty well at the start of the 21st century. In fact, when we look at the total value over by this method, the Jets drafted better than any other NFL franchise during the years 2000-2003.

To figure out the best and worst teams, we used tallied up the total value over (or below) expected salary for all picks by each team, then look at the teams which were a standard deviation above the mean (five

This article is crap though since one of the major basis for it is how much a player makes in his second contract. Pennington recieved an absurdly large contract that he never earned which was a retarded move by the Jets front office.

Not only steals, but they represent 2 of the biggest draft day steals from the 2000-2003 drafts.

Who's the biggest steal in their next draft analysis - Tommy Kelly?

Leonard Davis was a borderline bust. But because Dallas gave him a contract totally disproportionate with his past performance, then he's a steal?

With that logic, if Davis got removed as starter due to poor play (but was kept on the team to avoid the accelerated cap hit), then he would STILL be considered a draft day steal at #2 in the country.

Awful article.

clearly none ofyou have the mental capacity to take in any sort of analysis above espn's 3rd grade level so i will digress but im pretty sure the good people at football outsiders know a little bit more than anyone here so before you use your incoherent subjective analysis try looking at something at a different prespective.

Are you seriously trying to attack us over this? The article is a joke, you can't use a mathematical formula involving money earned to say if someone was a good football player or not.
