ok working on a theory... since Tom Oldham is having a resurgence with Murphy as QB. I want to look at other WRs who have been labeled "busts". So who would you call a bust at WR?

I will say this Luke Cobb has not been all that bad. for a 6th Overall pick, yes. as he is not our WR #1 but instead WR #3 on our depth chart. However he has in the last two years he has lead the Vikings in TDs. I mainly chalk it up to Vardells problems

I don't think Cobb is a bust because of skill but he got injured early and has been on a slow climb to relevance. He's clearly a bust because of his pick position but I don't think he's a total fail a la Tommy Pottios. I think Cobb is having a similar career to Jarius Shaw-Dodd in terms of production and relevancy.

That's all fair. I think busts are absolutely relative to draft position, and I'd consider Cobb one of the bigger WR busts of the past few drafts. Cobb put up 46/516/6 last season, which is serviceable, but for a #6 overall drafted player that's pretty terrible. He's not yet had more than 600 yards in a season. He's on pace for like 800 yards and 8 TDs this year, but again, 4th year in the league and yet to sniff a 1,000 yard season. Plus he hasn't progressed much at all.
Whatever the reason, whether an injury or Vardell or just not being as good as most of us thought, I'd classify him as a bust personally.
