5 2019 NFL Draft Picks Who Already Look Like Disasters

Now that the 2019 preseason is officially in the rear view mirror, it's become instantly clear that some rookies have established themselves as a bona fide studs. Others, however, need a lot more seasoning before they emerge as stars or are showing some worrying signs that are leading some to prematurely assign them the dreaded "bust" tag.

5. Seahawks DB Marquise Blair

The Seahawks and their Cover 3 defense thought they had a match made in heaven in Blair, a big, speedy defensive back who could line up at several different positions. Blair has had some issues adjusting to the scheme early on, as he's seen a few passes go over his head and some ball carries slip through his grasp. He'll adjust to the NFL level, but Seattle can't be too thrilled with his performance in the preseason.

4. Panthers QB Will Grier

Those that were doubting Grier's ability to read the field and make plays off of schedule are being proved emphatically right through the first few preseason games. Grier threw two picks, lost a fumble, and was sacked six times. Grier's downfield accuracy is his best trait, but he needs to get a quicker trigger if he wants to stick as Cam Newton's backup.

3. Texans OT Tytus Howard

Make no mistake, the trade for Laremy Tunsil might not go down if they had more confidence in Howard or second round pick Max Scharping. Despite drafting Howard in the first round, the Texans went out and spent more on upgrades for their offensive line.

2. Raiders EDGE Clelin Ferrell

Jon Gruden raised some eyebrows when he took Clemson edge rusher Clelin Ferrell over the likes of Josh Allen and Brian Burns. The doubters have been somewhat vindicated, as Ferrell had an up and down preseason playing most of his snaps with the starters. Ferrell has plenty of potential given his strength on the edge, but he likely won't move the needle much for the Raiders in Year 1.

1. Jets/Seahawks EDGE Jachai Polite

There are disasters, and then there is whatever Jachai Polite was in his brief tenure with the New York Jets. Polite figured to get some time on a Jets team that needed a pass rusher, but he managed to blow his shot in spectacular fashion. After struggling on the field as a 4-3 defensive end and incurring over $100,000 in fines off of it, Polite was cut despite being a third round pick and is currently on Seattle's practice squad.
