    Some of those were before my memory kicked in, so I'm going with Tim Couch, QB, Nebraska.

    Actually Couch played at Kentucky. But he is on the list for a reason though

    Leaf was number 2 overall in 1998 behind Peyton Manning.

    Think the colts made the right pick lol

    just like the pats taking Bledsoe in 1993 over Rick Mirer

    Big Daddy while not living up to the billing still had a long career. Andrea Bruce on the other hand, in my opinion is the very definition of term stiff.

    It's hard to argue Big Daddy Med but I'll go with Emtman. At 6' 4" 290 lbs, the guy was huge coming out of college and I feared he was gonna crush my Patriot QB's. However, the crappy turf in Indy finished him early.

    Look at the size of this guy and you know why I feared him going to Indy.

    wonder if he was on roids

    just like Brian Bosworth, all hype and no action

    we should give some honorable mention to Ken Sims, He was not as good as his billling. He broke his leg in 85 and basically never did anything after that

    Somehow, I get the sense that you created this purely for the purpose of smack, completely devoid of any merit.

    You put Tim Couch first, then you sprinkle it with others that you know people won't vote for.

    Dan Wilkinson who had a long decent NFL career.
    Courtney Brown who was good when he was healthy.
    Andray Bruce, who few fans of today even know who he was.
    Steve Emtman, who few fans of today even know who he was.
    Ken Sims, who even fewer fans of today know who he was.

    Where is Ki-Jana Carter on your list? Where is Jeff George? (long career, yea, but for the Colts = BUST) Where is Vinny Testaverde? (looooooong career, yea, but Bucs = BUST) Where is John Elway? (great for Denver, but, how did his Baltimore Colts career go? Oh yea, he simply refused to sign with them - rather play Baseball. Bust for Colts? You betcha) Where is Jay Berwanger? (the very first pick ever in the NFL Draft, he wanted to model plastic cars and be a sportswriter instead)

    Heck, if you really wanted it to be a Brown, why not throw up Ernie Davis up there? Or do you consider leukemia to not be enough of a reason to be a Bust?

    Couch, a bust? Not even close.

    The fact that you even listed John Elway in your list of first pick "busts" is laughable at best.

    So, he had a HOF career with the Colts?
