NFL Draft Busts: New Teams, Notable Misses Highlighted

Recent evaluations of NFL draft decisions over the past five years have highlighted several teams facing criticism for first-round selections. The Indianapolis Colts' choice of quarterback Anthony Richardson has come under scrutiny due to his injuries and struggles, resulting in Daniel Jones taking over as starter. The Green Bay Packers' selection of cornerback Eric Stokes instead of pass rusher Gregory Rousseau is questioned, with Stokes released after his rookie contract while Rousseau thrived with the Bills. The Miami Dolphins' decision to draft Noah Igbinoghene over running back Jonathan Taylor is viewed as a major error, as Taylor has become a top NFL rusher. The Atlanta Falcons' pick of Kyle Pitts remains controversial, especially since defensive standout Micah Parsons was still available. These draft outcomes have significantly impacted team trajectories and fan sentiment.
