A failed quarterback is always the biggest bust because there's nothing else he can do for you. A few, like Rick Mirer, can hang around the league for a while as a backup. But most busts are usually out of the league in short order, i.e. Akili Smith, Drunkenmiller, Shuler, etc. With quarterbacks it seems that, more than any other position, they either get it or they don't.

Anyhow, of guys expected to go high who scare me a bit are Peterson, for durability issues (another Biakabutuka?) and Quentin Moses.
