A bust is a player who doesn't play up to the level expected with the draft selection. He has not played up to expectations as the #4 overall pick as a RB. Your individual expectations, as mine were, were much lower for Fournette and I, like you, hated the RB selection. The FO did indeed massively overvalue him, unfortunately it doesn't change the expectations overall for the #4 overall pick... an elite talent... blue chip guy... franchise type player. Its because of his draft selection and overall play... he unfortunately.. is a bust.

That's your definition. And it's not one I often see attributed to the term outside of this message board. You are certainly not the only one who feels that way. 
But I don't call a player who can produce enough to remain a viable starter in the NFL a bust. Overdrafted and "bust" are two different things in my book. 

If he continues to be unavailable due to injury in the coming years and loses his spot on the depth chart permanently - I'd apply the label.
