A 1st round pick who takes 5 years to be a decent starter is a bust.
A 7th round pick who takes 5 years to be a decent starter is a diamond in the rough.
It doesn't matter if it was injuries, or what. If a player performed well below their draft order/status expectation, they are a bust. Kirkpatrick would have been a great 6th round pick, but he wasn't a 6th round pick. He was a 1st round pick, and as a 1st round pick, he was a bust. The same applies to Dennard, he is a bust.
There's no such thing in the NFL as a 1st round pick heading into his 4th year/age 26 season, who is a prospect.
If Dennard becomes a shutdown Corner you cannot call him a bust.
It is a big IF but still...

When we were out of the playoffs at the end of the year, everyone who was an unknown quantity should have been starting to see what we had. Now we still have no clue who Dennard is. Marvin's "strategy" pisses me off so bad sometimes.
On this one injury has been the big problem and players in front of him. Sure, there were times (maybe a couple)
in 14' when i wanted Dennard or Shaw to start ahead of Kirkpatrick but in the end it might of been the right decision.
Dre played good last year and i bet we bring him back. Dennard and Shaw most of all could be real good.
Garrett and then bringing in Benwikere were good moves too IMHO.
Not like these guys always make piss poor moves. The Secondary could be good. Coyle has been a good coach for
us before. Not ready to give up on this coach. There are a lot of positives on this team. They aren't bad.
Just need to make the right moves to prevent us from being so.
