Troy Williamson (#7)
Mike Williams (#10)
Erasmus James (#18)
Matt Jones (#21)
I may be missing some, but those are 1st round busts from just one draft. Projecting college players to the NFL is not as easy as you make it out to be.

I never said it was easy. You have 7 busts out of 32, thats a pretty low % and most of those were drafted by bad teams. Also Pacman was fine on the field but a disaster off it so I'm not sure you can call him bust.
There are no sure things in the draft but the 1st round is as close as you can get.
