    Obviously Trey Lance is a much bigger bust than Pickett. With Matt Canada as his OC, KP still managed a winning record of 14-10 while with the Steelers. Although many of those wins were ugly 16-13 rock fights, he does have a winning record in his time here.

    TBH, most of his wins were because of the heroics of the defense. Nearly half his wins were 4th qtr drives. He was clutch in the 4th but too bad he couldn't do much the other 45 minutes.

    Just put an asterisk by this ranking. For being coached by the worst steelers OC in modern history.

    The thing with Lance is the 49ers found out Purdy had more to offer so Lance never got any kind of body of work to go by, just 6 starts his first season. He had 5 TDs in that span to Kennys 7 in 13 games.

    I have no doubt if given the same sample size Lance would have put up better numbers than Kenny.

    The title said first round picks. Willis wasn’t a first rounder.

    Not sure how anyone could put a pick at 20 over top 5 picks who didn’t pan out. Some of these teams gave up picks to move up and get these guys.

    this can’t be repeated enough. Where is Canada now?

    They had fire canada signs at volleyball games.

    Yea with those tiny hands he would be harder to see screaming for roughing the passer calls every other pass play.

    The last 5-6 years have been a disaster in the first round - after 90 it's been awful.

    4 absolute busts (up to and including Broderick Jones) with Najee being a solid but "not-worth-a-1st rounder" exception.
