At least ST took the field and had a few bright moments.
Jenkins was a disaster right from the start.

The defense was historically bad in 2016 when the DL was Buckner, Mike Purcell and Armstead. The LB were Bowman and Ray Ray, who both got hurt and it ended with Nick Bellore and Wilhoite. So drafting DL and LB in the first round made a lot of sense.
The ST pick was just a rookie mistake and it's time to forget about it.
.. Looking back at it that 2017 Draft was a Missed Opportunity with 2 first rounders that flamed out. But its Ok we Got Kittle out of it so Yeah, I am inclined to wonder if we would have picked any other Qb besides C.J. Would they had still Picked Kittle
Because of the Iowa connection??

Not really….his most memorable moment was getting a holding call against the Seahawks at home in 2018
Jenkins is a bust in his own right, but at least he wasn't picked 3rd overall

I see your AJ Jenkins and raise you a Rashaun Woods.
BTW, RIP Terry Donahue.

I would have assumed the Sam Bowie comparison would have illustrated this point, but here is a football comparison for you.....
Using your logic, Jim Druckenmiller was a bigger bust than Ryan Leaf.

Ouch. I think some (myself included) let the fact that he is a good guy get in the way of rating him appropriately. Its easy to say quitters like Balmer and Woods and complete non producers are bigger busts. But a guy who worked hard and had personal tragedy but failed to even be a solid rotational guy, emotions prevent some from labeling him a bust. But its undeniable. He is the biggest in history. Had he just been a solid starter, then Jenkins and others could be brought into the conversation. But at number 3 overall and you can't start nor be a key contributor (Ronald Blair, DJ Jones level), that is a huge bust. Being a nice guy doesn't change it.

This is a weird take. You are literally saying someone who actually played in multiple games and didnt actually suck so bad as a Vernon Gholston but just should have been a 3-5th round pick is worse than AJ one catch Jenkins.
Biggest bust in history? Excusing Drunk and Balmer, think of what an actual 2nd WR option would of done for Kap. Maybe he could could of actually became a two read QB rather than one.
