All-time Steelers draft bust team

[WindyCitySteel]

Saw a tweet calling Bush the biggest, many replies with others. Can we build a starting lineup of Steeler draft busts? Have to use more than just 1st round picks, which makes it dicier. This spreads over decades, not a shot at any coach or GM. Also, some were just the unfortunate victims of injury.

EDIT: Found guards.
EDIT: Added kickers!

Mark f'n Malone. Loved how he threw a 100 mph fastball to wide receivers 10 feet away. Holy f*** forgot about that guy.

[Prowler]

Alonzo Jackson. That guy cracked me up. In preseason he'd high five every defensive player after each play. Too bad his talent didn't match his enthusiasm for celebrations. The worst OLB we've had.

Wasn’t John Rienstra a guard?

I take some issue with calling 3rd rounders busts but I suppose it works for the post.

NFW is Bush the biggest bust. I know it’s magnified because they moved up for him but Huey Richardson got freaking cut in his second camp. Jarvis Jones was worse too IMO. Hated that pick the moment they made it. At least they got a good year out of Bush.

Does Ziggy Hood meet bust criteria? He had a decent career I guess. Idk I’m on the fence about that one.

Hard to call Gabe "Senor Sack" Rivera a bust. he had a really good rookie year and then the car accident. He was well on his way to being a very good to great defensive lineman, imo.

Added. Played five years for the Steelers, but only started 27 games.

Played 6 games his rookie year before the crash.

It was a long time ago, I thought he completed the season, tragic.

but you can add we passed on Marino for him.

That was kind of like passing on Jalen Hurts to draft Chase Claypool but on a larger scale.

Bruce Davis.

Gabe Rivera wasn't a bust. The rookie was making plays then was permanently inured

yeah. Much larger
