• Ryan Leaf (1998, 2nd Overall, San Diego Chargers)
  • Kiper’s Evaluation: Kiper ranked Leaf as his eighth-highest-graded QB since 1979, praising his physical attributes and potential to be a game-changer, stating, “Leaf is the type who can single-handedly put a team in the win column, which at the pro level is the ultimate sign of greatness.” He saw Leaf as a close competitor to Peyton Manning for the No. 1 pick.
    
    
  • NFL Outcome: Leaf is widely regarded as one of the biggest busts in NFL history. Drafted second overall, he compiled a 4-17 record as a starter, threw 36 interceptions against 14 touchdowns, and struggled with injuries, attitude issues, and off-field problems. He was out of the league by 2001.
    
    
• JaMarcus Russell (2007, 1st Overall, Oakland Raiders)
  • Kiper’s Evaluation: Kiper lauded Russell’s “John Elway-like” arm strength, calling him a potential top-five NFL quarterback within three years. He was enamored with Russell’s ability to throw long distances and saw him as a franchise QB for the Raiders.
    
    
  • NFL Outcome: Russell is another infamous bust. He went 7-18 as a starter, struggled with weight issues, work ethic, and decision-making, and was out of the NFL by 2010. His tenure was marked by poor performance and off-field controversies.
    
    
• Andre Ware (1990, 7th Overall, Detroit Lions)
  • Kiper’s Evaluation: Kiper gave Ware the sixth-highest pre-draft QB grade since 1979, calling him an “excellent” NFL quarterback prospect despite concerns about the Run & Shoot offense he played in at Houston. Kiper believed Ware’s accuracy, arm strength, and leadership would translate to the pros.
    
    
    
    
  • NFL Outcome: Ware started just six games, going 3-3, and was out of the NFL by 1994. He failed to adapt to the pro game, struggled with decision-making, and bounced around the CFL and NFL Europe afterward. He’s considered one of the worst Heisman-winning QBs in the NFL.
    
    
    
    
• Jimmy Clausen (2010, 48th Overall, Carolina Panthers)
  • Kiper’s Evaluation: Kiper was extremely high on Clausen, stating, “If Jimmy Clausen is not a successful quarterback in the NFL, I’m done. That’s it. I’m out.” He projected Clausen as a top-10 pick and a potential franchise QB.
    
    
  • NFL Outcome: Clausen was a second-round pick and a major disappointment, compiling a 1-13 record as a starter. He lacked the arm strength and decision-making needed for the NFL and was out of the league by 2015. Kiper’s bold prediction became a point of criticism.
    
    
• Tim Couch (1999, 1st Overall, Cleveland Browns)
  • Kiper’s Evaluation: Kiper included Couch among his highest-graded QBs (in an unranked list beyond his top 10), praising his potential as the No. 1 pick for the expansion Browns. He saw Couch as a cornerstone for the franchise.
    
    
  • NFL Outcome: Couch struggled behind a poor offensive line, going 22-37 as a starter with 64 touchdowns and 67 interceptions. Injuries and inconsistent play led to his exit from the NFL by 2004. While not as catastrophic as Leaf or Russell, he’s considered a bust relative to expectations.
    
    
• Jack Thompson (1979, 3rd Overall, Cincinnati Bengals)
  • Kiper’s Evaluation: Known as “The Throwin’ Samoan,” Thompson was a prolific college passer, and Kiper included him in his “Unlucky 13” list of QB busts, indicating he was highly rated pre-draft. Kiper noted his NCAA passing records as a reason for optimism.
    
    
  • NFL Outcome: Thompson’s NFL career was lackluster, with fewer yards than in college and only five years in the league. He failed to live up to his draft status and is remembered as a Bengals draft misstep.

Dude said JaMarcus Russell would be a top 5 quarterback in the NFL.

Also said he would retire if Jimmy Clausen wasn't a successful NFL quarterback.

Countless other horrendous misses on high profile QBs.

Mel is a total retard.

The best part of this whole thing is that the only way for Shedildo to come out on the other end a winner is to shut the fuck up, humble himself, get to work and be a good team mate. All things that will happen some time after Jennifer Lawrence knocks on my door and begs to be allowed to suck my dick and demands I let her swallow.

Wasn't Kiper one of the geniuses who said Ryan Leaf was a better NFL prospect than Manning?

1. Cam Ward (Titans, No. 1) – 4 years, $48.8 million
2. Jaxson Dart (Giants, No. 25) – 4 years, $16.9 million
3. Tyler Shough (Saints, No. 40) – 4 years, $10.8 million
4. Jalen Milroe (Seahawks, No. 92) – 4 years, $6.3 million
5. Dillon Gabriel (Browns, No. 94) – 4 years, $6.2 million
6. Shedildo Sanders (Browns, No. 144) – 4 years, $4.65 million

Stan Raymond said:

After being overlooked in the fourth round, it wasn’t until the No. 144 pick that Sanders got the call from Cleveland, who traded up to get that fifth-round selection. Consequently, Shedildo is expected to be the sixth highest-paid rookie QB in the 2025 NFL season and 72nd-highest paid QB in the league.

1. Cam Ward (Titans, No. 1) – 4 years, $48.8 million
2. Jaxson Dart (Giants, No. 25) – 4 years, $16.9 million
3. Tyler Shough (Saints, No. 40) – 4 years, $10.8 million
4. Jalen Milroe (Seahawks, No. 92) – 4 years, $6.3 million
5. Dillon Gabriel (Browns, No. 94) – 4 years, $6.2 million
6. Shedildo Sanders (Browns, No. 144) – 4 years, $4.65 million

Don't think Sanders was expecting that for his rookie contract.
