New York Jets’ 7 Biggest Draft Busts

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Every team has their share of draft-day busts. The Jets, however, have made an art out of bungling their first-round picks.

Here is a look at their worst picks.

Robertson actually had a couple of decent years in New York, but he never lived up to the lofty expectations that not only came with being the fourth overall selection but also the Jets giving up two first-round picks to trade up to get him.
