It's easy to pick which players are going to be the safest picks in any NFL Draft cla s. But selecting busts? That gets a bit trickier.Any time you are prognosticating which players will bust, you are casting doubt upon talented players that will go early. These players are often viewed as relatively safe picks and "can't mi s" prospects.That said, as much as everyone likes to talk about the NFL Draft in certainties, it is largely a crapshoot. Busts exist, and they can come from anywhere. Of course, the most notable ones come in the first couple rounds of the draft, as those premium picks are the ones that teams are supposed to get right.The 2022 NFL Draft cla s could provide a lot of early-round busts. Why? Because the draft lacks the top-end, blue-chip talent that recent cla ses have po se sed. That means that some risky players will be overdrafted, and it also means that players with Patrick Willis Jersey concerns about experience, size, competition level, character or injuries could go higher than usual.But who are the biggest boom-or-bust candidates in the ? Sporting News runs through some of the riskiest players that will likely go in the first or second round of this year's draft.MORE NFL DRAFT: | Every first-round quarterbackThis is cheating a bit, but the fact of the matter is that this is one of the weakest quarterback cla ses that the NFL has seen in quite some time. That doesn't mean that of the top pa sers are going to bust, but each player taken in the first round will come with a bevy of risks.Malik Willisis currently the favorite to be the first quarterback taken in the draft. That makes sense given that he has the most impre sive physical tools arm strength, mobility, etc. of the bunch. However, Willis' accuracy was fleeting at 61.1 percent, and he got nearly all of his college playing experience at Liberty.While the Flames recently moved to the FBS, the NFL is still going to be a ma sive jump in competition for the raw Willis. As such, it could take him longer to adapt to the pro game than many are expecting. E sentially, he's facing a similar development curve to Zach Wilson and Trey Lance, so it could be hard for him to succeed as a rookie if pre sed into starting duty.The other seemingly surefire first-round quarterback prospect isKenny Pickett. The Pitt product is the most pro-ready of this year's crop of pa sers and threw for Jason Verrett Jersey 42 touchdowns last year. He has solid size, a good arm, is very accurate and can move around the pocket well.What's not to like about Pickett? Two reasons. First, there are questions about his upside and whether he will be able to elevate the play of those around him. Second, he is a bit of a one-year wonder, as he totaled only 38 touchdowns compared to 24 interceptions in his previous three Garrett Celek Jersey seasons combined. And during that time, he never posted a completion percentage higher than 61.6 percent.There are other quarterbacks that could sneak into the first round as well. Desmond Ridderhas been rising in mock drafts. He won a lot as a four-year starter in college, but he doesn't have the biggest arm.Matt Corralcould also sneak into Day 1. He's a gritty competitor, but he's small and has to improve his field-reading ability at the NFL level.Teams will take these quarterbacks early because they do have starting potential. However, the positional value of quarterbacks is pushing them up the draft board despite the fact that they all have potentially fatal flaws that could make them busts. That makes them a risky selection for any team wanting to spend a first-round pick on a pa ser.Travon Walker, EDGE, GeorgiaWalker has been one of the fastest risers ahead of the 2022 NFL Draft. He could end up being the No. 1 overall pick, but he could also end up being one of the biggest busts of draft weekend.The logic for this pick is simple. Sure, Walker is a great athlete. He ran the 40-yard dash in 4.51 seconds, completed the 3-cone drill in 6.89 seconds and blazed the short shuttle in 4.32 seconds, but he didn't exactly stand out in Georgia's defense.Walker had decent numbers 33 tackles, six sacks with the Bulldogs last season. Even still, fans of college football heard more about Jordan Davis and Nakobe Dean as the driving forces of that Georgia front seven. There was decidedly le s buzz about Walker, who put up pa s-rushing tape that was only OK.Walker has the athletic ability needed to be a good NFL pa s rusher, but can he play as explosively as the numbers indicate? He didn't at Georgia. And George Kittle Jersey will he do as well without other top-tier defenders around to help him? The upside is there, but it may be hard for Walker to live up to what's sure to be a lofty draft status. Kayvon Thibodeaux, EDGE, OregonThibodeaux was once considered a potential candidate for the No. 1 overall pick, but things have changed for the former Oregon star. He has steadily watched his draft stock decline and will probably be the third edge rusher off the board behind Aidan Hutchinson and Walker.What has caused Thibodeaux to drop in the edge defender rankings? Some teams and draft analysts are questioning Thibodeaux's competitive drive, as pointed out after the Senior Bowl.I heard a lot about Oregon defensive end Kayvon Thibodeaux, including concerns that he just doesn't play with the same fire as some other top prospects. His ceiling is high, but the floor is lower than what you want for a top-five pick. And based on a handful of conversations, it wouldn't shock me if Thibodeaux fell out of the top five.Since then, Thibodeaux decided not to do on-field drills at the NFL Combine, and negative reports of his work ethic and love of football emerged. even reported that Dan Campbell and the Lions aren't considering him with the No. 2 pick.His personality is a lot, an NFL executive told Breer, and you hear the head coach there isnt a fan.These rumors are enough to make the prospect of drafting Thibodeaux a risk. Perhaps the work ethic concerns will be unfounded, but if they aren't it will be hard for Thibodeaux to find consistent succe s against the bigger, stronger, faster athletes in the NFL.NFL DRAFT ORDER:Trevor Penning, OT, Northern IowaPenning looks the part of a quality offensive tackle at the NFL level, but he is undeniably raw. The 6-7, 325-pound blocker played very well against the le ser competition of the FCS, but has a Matt Breida Jersey couple of i sues he needs to work on at the next level.First and foremost, Penning was heavily penalized during his time at Northern Iowa. He committed a whopping 16 penalties in 2021, tied for the most in both FBS and FCS competition with Tulsa's Tyler Smith. During his career in total, Penning had 34 total penalties, including 12 in 2019.Penning's biggest problem is that he tends to grab and hold players when he gets out of position and off balance. And his beloved "mean streak" can cause him to cro s the line on occasion. As
