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.

Disagree. What you describe is an overdrafted player. Ryan Leaf is a bust. Justin Blackmon is a bust.

Tyson Alualu and Bryan Anger were overdrafted players, not busts.

Both are failures on the part of the FO to get value for the pick, but they are two distinct concepts.

Whether or not he ever has success with us, I see Fournette sticking around for quite a while in the league. That's not a bust.
