The Biggest Bust in Bengals History?

[bengalsfan73]

Akili Smith without hesitation. I still am upset that Mike Brown turned down Mike Ditka's offer of the entire draft that year all because of a one year wonder in Smith. I wanted Champ Bailey that year in the 1st rd and the Bengals could have picked him with a ton of other picks had Brown not been so stupid in passing up the offer of a lifetime. As for calling Odell Thurman a bust I disagree because he was a steal in the second round when we got him. He just could not leave alcohol and everything else alone instead of focusing on a promising career. I also do not include Kijana Carter because he was injury plagued from the beginning in the preseason game against the Lions when he was injured. I was hoping he could have rebounded but he never could. So much promise but not a bust in my mind.
