It's interesting to predict the busts before they happen.


I'd say most of the first round will bust. If they perform decently it is most probably because they are playing against guys that mostly got playing time due to skin color. When they actually give players shots on talent we wind up with stars like jj watt. Thats what you are supposed to get in the top 10.I just don't see it The nfl becomes more of a joke each year which is why i have been losing interest .

I think this is exactly what will happen.

The 2015 draft had an unusually high number of blacks drafted. The 2015 draft will have an unusually high number of busts.

Here's another example of how Weenieworld tries to drive the agenda rather than merely reporting. This is the blurb currently running on D. J. Swearinger, a highly drafted bust who was released by Houston:

Bucs S D.J. Swearinger is the leading candidate to start opposite Bradley McDougald. Swearinger is the favorite to replace Dashon Goldson after getting claimed off waivers last month. The Bucs like Swearinger’s upside more than Chris Conte, but his coverage skills are suspect for Lovie Smith’s Tampa 2. Swearinger could lose sub-package snaps if he starts.


Here is what Weenieworld's source for the blurb, buccaneers.com, actually says:

Swearinger is used to being a starter. Over the course of the past two seasons, he’s started two-thirds of his team’s games. And after Dashon Goldson was traded to the Redskins, a starting safety spot opened up with the Bucs. Swearinger, a top contender for Goldson’s spot, has only been in Tampa for a few weeks. It will be interesting to see how quickly he is able to absorb the Bucs’ system and gel with his new teammates.


Weenieworld anoints Swearinger as "the favorite" whereas buccaneers.com refers to him only as "a top contender." And nowhere in the article does it say that the team likes Swearinger's "upside" more than that of Chris Conte.

Now I'll hardly be surprised if Swearinger does indeed beat out Conte, who like so many White DBs has been unfairly maligned to an extreme degree by the media and DWFs, but this is clearly Weenieworld trying to drive the anti-Conte bandwagon by distorting what was written to match their own anti-White agenda.

Defensive lineman Shane Ray was drafted in the first round by the Broncos. This was after Ray was pulled over for speeding and cited for possession. This didn't deter Denver from drafting him.

Touted as an explosive athlete, Ray had bad numbers in the 20 yd short shuttle and 3 cone drill. These tests measure quickness, agility and change of direction ability. Ray had a 4.53 short shuttle and a 7.71 3 cone. These are offensive lineman-like numbers.

The Broncos plan to convert Ray to linebacker. With such poor measurables Ray looks like a bust in the making.

This guy is my pick for the biggest bust in the entire draft just on pure stupidity alone. What kind of moron smokes pot, right before the draft, knowing it will potentially cost you millions of dollars? If you can't even count on someone to make intelligent life decisions, how can you count on someone to make good decisions on the football field? Not to mention, the guy has the word "thug" written all over him.

Trent Richardson was drafted number 3 overall in the 2012 NFL draft. He was lauded as a great running back. The Browns made a boneheaded trade to trade up one spot to get him.

Richardson has been a total bust. He was a bust with Cleveland, a bust with Indianapolis and, inexplicably, has been signed by a third team, Oakland, so he can be a bust there too.

I figured he had a high chance of being a bust because of his injury history. Not only is he frequently injured he just flat out can't play.

Whenever anybody brings up white players who are alleged busts bring up Trent Richardson as a black example of a real bust.

That would have been a good title for this thread.

Before the 2012 NFL draft the mainstream media was proclaiming that there were 6 "elite" prospects in it, Luck, Griffin, Kalil, Richardson, Blackmon and Claiborne. They fawned over Griffin, Richardson and Claiborne as if they descended from heaven.

Not surprisingly, a truly elite player was not on their list, Luke Kuechly. He wasn't on their list of elite prospects because he's white and the mainstream media is prejudiced against white players.

Richardson and Claiborne are total busts who can't play. Blackmon is a bust so far because of off the field issues. Griffin looks like a bust that is setting back his franchise.

Luck and Kuechly, both white, are star players.

Who will be the black busts this year?

Blackmon was the FIFTH pick of the 2012 draft. That is a definitive colossal epic bust. Just like Aaron Curry was. But you won't hear the MSM jock-sniffers saying much about them. They'll just trot out white guys from 20 years ago that they deem as busts, like Brian Bosworth. It pains them to acknowledge Jamarcus Russell and an all-time bust, they always dig up Ryan Leaf in response.

You can add Dion Jordan to that list as well since he's suspended for the year and will probably never play another down for the Dolphins and quite possibly in the NFL altogether. Another black bust the MSM jock sniffers don't like bringing up is Akili Smiff. That guy was BEYOND bad! Possibly even worse than Jamarcus. Jamarcus got at least 3 seasons to show that he stunk. I don't even think Smiff got that many. That's how bad he was. I was surprised to see him on that NFL Network Top 10 Busts list. They even mentioned his "low football IQ" Of course, no bust list is complete without whipping boys Brian Bosworth, Heath Shuler, David Klingler, Rick Mirer, and Tony Mandarich. But really, are any of those guys bigger busts than Aaron Curry, Aaron Maybin, Byron Leftwich, Sammie Smith, Ki-Jana Carter, Curtis Enis, etc... I think not.

Might as well add Aldon Smith productive when he's on field. When he's off the field he's just a pistol toting inner city thug. He's at it again apparently last night he got caught up in a hit and run and received a DUI.

Good! Good news for UDFA Marcus Rush he might have a shot at making the team now. Only thing Aldon Smith is a victim of is the "Tom Iron effect".

Unfortunately, the release of chronic buffoon and violent thug, Aldon Smith, will do little the get more whites starting on San Francisco’s defense. Dan Skuta, who shined in place of Smith last season, signed with the Jags, and Chase Thomas wasn’t re-signed this off-season and remains a FA.

With the losses of Justin Smith, Chris Borland, Dan Skuta, Chase Thomas, and Ray Ventrone from the roster, safety Craig Dahl is the only white player (starter or reserve) remaining with a chance to make the team. LB Nick Bellore is white, but has a snowball's chance of sticking.

This loathsome team should return to mediocrity in 2015-2016...

There's a good chance that Jameis Winston will end up being a huge bust.

His last year in college he had a 25 to 18 interception ration. That isn't good. It may be indicative of how he'll do in the pros.

He's a good candidate to bust, and as things come apart he'll unravel too. This guy is one big red flag.

Jameez the rapist will be treated with kid gloves just like every other black qb. He won't face half the scrutiny Manziel did. Hatie gave him the starting job - he won't take it away. I'm looking forward to seeing him fail just like the rest of the black quarterbacks (even though the media paints a totally different picture).

Jameez is Jemarcus 2.0.
After it's all set and done, dwfs will still salivate over the next black black quarterback - Cardale Jones.

black quarterback "CarJail YOnes" will be a bust as well. Like "Shameheist" Wilson, he lacks the intelligence & discipline.
