But Jerome Simpson was not a bust. He had more career receptions (150) than 2 of the 5 WRs drafted before him and 5 of the 9 other WRs taken in the second round with him. He was actually a decent pick from that WR class.
Gotta love someone rationalizing how a 2nd round WR only having 1 catch in his first two years and being a healthy scratch for the majority of his first three years is not a bust just because other WRs in that draft were busts too.
Bengals had a choice of Jerome Simpson or DeSean Jackson (who went 3 picks after Simpson) and like almost always, they chose wrong. Simpson was a bust. If he were a 5th or 6th round WR, sure. But a 2nd? Bust.
