For example, Chicago isn't criticized so much for drafting Trubisky as much as they are for not drafting Mahomes or Watson.

Drafting busts is just part of the game. But God have mercy on those who pass on future stars. You hear much more about how every team passed on Tom Brady and Lamar Jackson and less about the time the Jaguars drafted Blaine Gabbert.

But maybe that's just a perceptual difference.

Blaine Gabbert strikes a chord with me.  I thought at the time there is no way on earth a QB named Blaine Gabbert could succeed in the NFL, not with that dorky sounding name...sorry Blaine. 
Then there was Andre Smith and his man boobs flopping in the breeze during his sprints.  Tell me how the Bengals could pick him after seeing that?
