First off, you obviously have to be drafted high enough to be considered a bust. For that purpose, as we rank the Top 10 potential NFL Draft busts, we are only considering potential first-rounders.

But that makes things even harder.

There are definitely sure bets in this draft, and the first round is loaded with them. So it took a lot of nitpicking to come up with 10 potential draft busts.

The top half of this list is filled with players who could very easily be busts. But the bottom half did include some potentially unfair attacks on players that should be very good in the NFL. This is the point with the draft. It’s hard to determine who will and who won’t be a bust.

But what is true is that every player has red flags, and some red flags are more of an issue than others. That combined with where players are projected to go is how you come up with potential busts.

So with all that taken into account, here are the Top 10 potential 2015 NFL Draft busts.
