rns90 Posted March 28, 2020 Report Share Posted March 28, 2020 Johnson was just averageish maybe replacement level. There have been far worse busts, Kevin Dodd, Hunter, Green Beckham, if you just want to list 2nd round guys and of course Bishop Sankey. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleepingTitan Posted March 28, 2020 Report Share Posted March 28, 2020 Yall wrong for shitting on AJ. He was a good player. Just because he never became great doesn't make him a bust. Very few of those big fellas actually become great. You draft them high because they're a NEED and face a ton of punishment through the year. Same as any OL, but expecting greatness because of draft position is stupid -- for any linemen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

These scrubs never amounted to anything. Hunter made some plays on other teams but fizzled out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say that any 2nd round pick who never improves beyond backup caliber qualifies as a bust japan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgo Posted March 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2020 I wouldn’t call him a bust. But was a disappointment for where he was drafted. He is a starter on some defenses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a starter on some defenses. I don’t see any scenario where he isn’t a bust, at least based on 4 years here. He wouldn’t have been a bust had he been a day 3 pick, but as a 2nd rounder... he’s a bust. Maybe he will have some impact in NY but he has all of 2.5 career sacks and is not some elite run stopper.

I guess when I think of busts I think of terrible picks like Chris Henry or Khalfani Muhammed or DGB or Bishop Sankey or or Jeremiah Poutasi or whatever. Johnson is a solid rotational DL in a 3-4 who has positional versatility. Edited March 28, 2020 by tgo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy was depth player who did makes some big plays over the years (huge tackle at the end of the 2016 KC game comes to mind.) Wasn't like he sat on the bench. Not every #2 pick is going to be a stud. BTW, maybe you've never heard of Dodd, but he was the bust from that second round. AvgJoe, and tgo 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the rest, they were also busts For sure. But Johnson was only a step better than any of them. You can’t waste 2nd round picks on career backup caliber players. That’s why he was a bust. You don’t need for every 2nd rounder to be a hall of fame guy. But if you can’t even draft a soon-to-be starter in the 2nd round then it’s a terrible pick.

No1TitansFan Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 He had Casey and Jones in front of him, and then last half of last year, a very highly touted rookie; he probably is a mid tier starter on some teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythos27 Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 AJ should've never been drafted. Most boring college tape I ever saw. Good luck in NY though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OILERMAN Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 Auston Johnson was a disappointment, maybe not a bust but if the draft were held over the Titans sure wouldn't draft him in hindsight Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
