So who did you want at 2? Kamerion Wimberly who went 13th? Vince Young who went 3rd? A.J. Hawk who went 5th? Mario Williams who was 1st overall?
Haloti Ngata who went 12th was the best pick of the first round. It wasn't that great of a draft. Ryan Leaf is a bust. Matt Leinert is a bust. Greg Oden is a bust. Anyone who plays 10 years in the NFL isn't really a bust.
And nobody could live up to his USC hype. He'd have had to be a 7 time MVP with 6 Super Bowls and 4 Super Bowl MVPs and an all pro every year to have lived up to that hype. Most reasonable fans had reasonable expectations.

How his peers did has no bearing on this conversation, and you're starting to walk down a separate road. His draftmates being busts and him being a bust are not mutually exclusive. Just because it was a weak draft doesn't mean he didn't under-performed significantly for his draft position. He still could have performed up to expectations of #2 overall regardless of what happened to the other guys, but he didn't. That had absolutely no affect on his personal career.
