NFL Draft busts are as common as ants at a picnic, and like ants, you hate to see busts in the first round of the NFL Draft

Prospects in the NFL Draft are like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get. Evaluators pour over hours of tape and conduct endless interviews with players, but sometimes you miss on a player for one reason or another.

Over the last decade, the attention around the NFL Draft has heightened at an exponential rate. Just about anyone can evaluate players and grade picks the second they’re made.

However, the best time to grade and evaluate picks is several years after the card has been turned in.

Here we have done just that and picked the worst first round pick for every NFL team from the last 10 years.

Unfortunately, every team had that one player who was always injured, in trouble, or just never found a spot on the field. The NFL Mocks staff breaks down why that player was picked when they were and what happened that led to them being a bust.

This also highlights some of the teams who had excellent drafts in the last decade, making our job of picking a bust even harder.
