If a player is labeled a bust, it doesn't mean he will be terrible. It means he won't be worth his average draft position and there are better options at that point in the draft. With that said, we give you some high-profile bust calls including Davante Adams and Deebo Samuel for Jamey (3:25). Then Heath tells you why he thinks Najee Harris is too expensive (15:15) and why Nick Chubb is a bust at his ADP (22:15) ... Jamey and Heath have three mutual busts (25:10)! Adams, Joe Burrow and Dawson Knox. After discussing them, we've got plenty of news items to catch you up on (32:00) as we try to make sense of the Commanders, Rams, Eagles, Bills and 49ers backfields among others ... Back to the busts! Heath's busts (42:15) include Aaron Rodgers, DK Metcalf and Amari Cooper. Jamey's busts (49:10) include Ezekiel Elliott, Antonio Gibson, Elijah Mitchell and WRs (59:00) Jaylen Waddle and Amon-Ra St. Brown, though St. Brown may be moving off the busts list ...
