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.

You're talking about his draft position being determinative of expectations. If no body else worth a damn was in his draft class then of course his draft position will be higher. If Bo Jackson, Peyton Manning, John Elway and Charles Woodson are in the same class he will go lower. Where he is drafted has something to do with who else is in the class.

He had a ton of hype from college. Too much. He wasn't an all pro. But he wasn't a bust.
