I don't usually write guys off, this early but I haven't seen anything special from him. DL usually flash their potential early.

 

I actually havent seen any flashes from our rookie DT either.

You need an undecided option.  I voted "Not a bust", but not because hes proven hes not a bust, just because he hasn't proven he is a bust...yet.  For me, he gets this season to show what he is or isn't.  I will make my determination based on how he does this year.  

 

I will say he is closer to bust status than not bust status at this point though.

What do you think “badger” was for ?

From where he was drafted and how he has performed , the jury is still out. So far he's closer to becoming a bust. 

This is strictly based on being a first round pick. He has been solid against the run though.

FWIW, we don't see many flashes from anyone on this team these days.

Tully’s chicken fingers are very good, but I highly doubt they are the best on earth....

They’re good, but the chicken strips from Bojangles are hard to beat. As Ferris Beuller said “ if you have the means, I highly recommend it”.

Voted bust.  He would probably be a good depth player, but that's not worthy of a 1st round pick.  Thanks Whaley!

That's about where I am. If he was taken later I'd say he's a nice depth/role player. But you don't take guys for depth,in Rd 1.

When Harrison Phillips is in you see the potential for an actual 4-man rush, versus the 3-man rush the Bills' D-line is relegated to with Star Lotulelei in the lineup.

He was the 19th overall pick in the draft and this is his third year in the league.  He has had almost no impact other than being decent at setting the edge on run downs.  He can't get to the passer and that is what you need from defensive ends in the NFL.  Yes, he is an obvious bust. 

 

Another obvious pick that the Bills messed up.  We should have taken Darron Lee who went one pick later.  Just like Maybin over Orakpo and Whitner over Ngata.
