What about Aaron Curry? He was considered the safest pick in the draft and taken 4th overall. He lasted 3 seasons and was never heard from again.

You don’t think Vick would be good in today’s NFL?

Yikes, I remember the 2015 draft when Amari Cooper went ahead of him and the pundits lost their mind. That 2015 draft was terrible for WR in retrospect. Only Cooper, Lockett and Agholor turned out to be decent in that draft.
To the OP, Smith was noted as a bust, but Cincy had a few busts in that era, so he gets lost. David Klingler would be another Bengals QB bust. The Bengals have really done well at QB since Carson Palmer was drafted in 2004. You could do a lot worse than Carson Palmer, Andy Dalton and Joe Burrow over a 20 year stretch.

I've been wondering, why isn't Akili Smith ever listed among all time busts?
He should be. Ditka offered them the Saints entire draft plus a 1 & 3 the following year.
22 starts in 4 years, 5 TDs and 26 turnovers (13 picks/13 fumbles), completed 46% of his passes.
Was signed by Green Bay cut during camp, signed by Tampa cut during mini camp. Signed by the CFL, made the team as their 3rd string QB for a year.
Then joined "Gods House" a religious flag football team, where he was moved to WR.

Everyone's analyzing this trade under the assumption that Richardson is super talented (he was taken 3rd-overall in 2012, after all). But is he really?
There's a mounting pile of evidence suggesting that Richardson is an average-at-best player. And if that's the case (which it appears to be), this is an absolute steal and genius trade by the Browns.
Speaking of busts...when news of the Browns needing a new RB emerged...

Tim couch was picked 1.1, so Smith is generally overshadowed.
Cade McNown went 1.12. Also probably discussed more due to market size
Aaron brooks, surprisingly was the 3rd best QB drafted (pick 131).

Trent Richardson never gets mentioned enough
Idk maybe it’s cause I post on a site that frequently rails Alabama but I see him brought up often.
Even I bring him up often to friends, “my God that was Trent Richardson levels of dog shite vision”

Vince Young with the right coaching and support could have been the GOAT. Instinctual he's the best scrambled ever and had super underrated accuracy(arm strength was average though)

Joe Hamilton has to look at dudes like Kyler and Bryce Young and feel like he was born about 15 years too early

I’m old but I always thought he was a huge bust

Charlie Ward too, though he had basketball to fall back on. How crazy is it that a guy had to go to the NBA because he was too short?

1999 Vick was great though. You could argue that he was better that year as a 19 year old than any year until 2004

Vick was a better version of Lamar Jackson. Much more polished passer and an equal athlete.

bro you don't remember that powerade commercial???? VICK COULD SLING IT

Vick had 1 year over 60% completion rate (and this was Philly Vick not ATL Vick), in what I think everyone would agree is his apex passing year.
While Lamar Jackson has one year sub-60%, his rookie year, at 58.2%, which would be the 3rd best year in Vick's entire history)
Note: I'm not counting Vick's 3 games started for Pitt in 2015
