This year’s First Round Bust was a game-time decision. We had 2 strong candidates who jockeyed back and forth based on the news over the past few weeks. Both guys have lots of risk factors heading into 2021 -- too many for a 1st-round pick.

So our First Round Bust choice came down to ceiling -- the guy with the lower ultimate ceiling and more obstacles standing in the way of hitting that ceiling.

In short, we’re worried about this guy’s upside and downside.
