Bluedude Sportstalk FRONT LINE February 10, 2013...Top 2012 NFL DRAFT Picks that need Big Production in 2013 or BUST

There will always be Busts in the NFL and this List of the 2012 NFL Top Picks had more to do with the Player than Circumstances around them. Some Players on the List you have never heard of because the Team had Success without them at that Position like the San Fran 49ers and their 2012 1st Round WR Pick. Other Players on the List had some skepticism before the Draft and all that surfaced during the 2012 Season. Then its a QB Driven League but are the Two Big Name WRs on this List at Fault because of their Abilities or the QB throwing to them?

Top 6 Players in the 2012 NFL Draft that carry SUNDAY BUST into the Off Season

1. Michael Floyd (pictured right) #AZCards WR Notre Dame...I didn't like him coming out of ND and then before the Season started skipping Workouts to get on the Learning Curve quicker with Card Teammate and Sunday WR Great Larry "Fitz" Fitzgerald. Ok Floyd was part of the Kevin Kolb Science Project in Red Zone so he gets a Half Potential/Half Sunday Bust.

2. AJ Jenkins #49ers WR Illinois...Des anyone know who he is or do they remember Harbaugh Stick Edition and the Niners Brass picking him. He wasn't even active for Half the Games in the 2012 Season and he was though to challenge another Thought of Bust in 49ers WR Michael Crabtree but Crab came up Big. Lucky the Niners have Major Depth at the Skilled Positions.

3. Riley Reiff #RestoreTheROAR OT Iowa...Out of all those Big-Time O-Linemen out of Kinnick Stadium like the #PURPLEbrowns All-Pro Marshal Yanda and the Packers Bryan Bulaga there was one that was bound to be back quickly as a Grad-Assistant on the Hawkeyes Staff and this is Mr. Reiff. He did absolutely nothing and when he did get on the Field couldn't block himself. Maybe they should move him to Long-Snapper. The Heir Apparent to Current Lions OT and Former All-Pro Jeff Backus of Norcross GA HS by way of the Maize and Blue. Riley couldn't beat out a 35 Year Old Lineman....Wow!

4. Dre Kirkpatrick (pictured left) #BengalsNation Alabama...Where in the Bengals Secondary was Kirkpatrick after many were so high on him coming out of "Bama. They said he had a Knee Injury but was never on IR or did get any kind of Surgery. I will give him 2013 and that's it but looks like and smells like former 'Bama All-American and 1995 Top 10 Pick CB Antonio Langham of the Browns.

5. Dontari Poe #ChiefsPride Memphis...He had the Look of maybe a Pats Wilfork or Steelers Hampton and since has looked like the Character Re Run on the 70s Sitcom "What's Happening". The Chiefs have Pro Bowlers all over that D in 2012 and lucky they did or they would have ran Poe right out of Town.

6. Justin Blackmon (pictured right) #JagsNation OK State...Hailed out of Stillwater OK U as the next and Bigger Version of former Cowboys WR nd Burner Dez Bryant. Blackmon came on late and that had a lot to do with Henne Late and Gabby of "Baline Gabbert Fame" Early. Yes Blackmon has All-World Ability but can he keep that Edge and Playing Level he had at the End of the 2012 as the Jags have enough Busts in the last Few Years. The 2013 Off Season for Blackmon will be Key. #StayOutOfTrouble
