2011 NFL Draft Results: 5 Day 2 Picks Most Likely to Become NFL Busts

Day 2 of the 2011 NFL Draft has come and gone. Kind of a bummer, I know. But as I see it, that means we have a whole night with which we can ponder the results, so let's get cracking.

Much like Day 1, Day 2 saw plenty of interesting picks. Ryan Mallett finally came off the board, and I'm of the mind that he could not have ended up with a better team than the New England Patriots.

I also really liked Torrey Smith going to the Baltimore Ravens and Dontay Moch going to the Cincinnati Bengals. I said as much in my list of The 5 Most Underrated Picks from Day 2.

Now it's time to take a look at the other side of the coin. Not all the picks from Day 2 were good ones, and I don't think we should let the teams that made them know about it.

So without further adieu, I present to you five picks from Day 2 that will crash and burn.

5. Marcus Gilchrist, CB, San Diego Chargers

The San Diego Chargers drafted Clemson cornerback Marcus Gilchrist with the 50th pick in the second round.

He ended up being the first of two cornerbacks selected by the Chargers on Day 2, as they also took USC's Shareece Wright with the 89th pick in the third round.

Both Gilchrist and Wright are smaller corners, as they are both around 5'10" and 190 pounds. Between the two of them, however, I have my doubts about Gilchrist.

If I may be perfectly blunt, I don't like small corners. Wide receivers are only getting bigger these days, and you need corners who can pester them in press coverage, which is why bigger, bulkier corners like Patrick Peterson and Jimmy Smith are in demand.

That's also why little guys are at a disadvantage.

Of course, small corners can be successful in the NFL. Just take a look at Asante Samuel. He's 5'10" and 190, and he's made four Pro Bowls.

The reason he is successful, however, is because of his ball skills. He has 42 career picks, seven of which came last year.

Gilchrist can do many things, but intercepting the ball doesn't appear to be one of them. In four years at Clemson, he had one pick. If he doesn't develop ball skills, the NFL is going to chew him up and spit him out.

4. Marvin Austin, DT, New York Giants

North Carolina defensive tackle Marvin Austin was selected by the New York Giants with the 52nd overall pick in the second round.

He's going to get a chance to join a D-line that is consistently one of the best in football. Because Austin has plenty of raw talent, he could end up being a major asset.

However, Austin's rawness is what makes me worried about him. As we all know, he was suspended for the entirety of the 2010 season for having improper dealings with an agent.

A forgivable offense perhaps, but scouts have also question Austin's work ethic, which is not the kind of red flag you want attached to you name heading into the NFL.

Especially when your head coach is Tom Coughlin. He's one of the toughest coaches in the league, and he does not abide slackers. If Austin shows even hints that he's not taking his NFL career seriously, Coughlin will bust his a--.

Fair warning, Mr. Austin.

3. Rahim Moore, S, Denver Broncos

UCLA safety Rahim Moore was taken by the Denver Broncos with the 45th pick of the second round.

Coupled with second overall pick Von Miller, he will be tasked with improving a defensive unit that was the worst in football last season.

Miller will take care of the front seven, and Moore will take care of the secondary. Simple math.

As you may have guessed, I have my doubts about Moore's ability to hold up his end of the bargain. He doesn't quite have safety size, and he's not supposed to be a very physical player.

Basically, his NFL career will rest on his ability to take the ball away. Had this been last year, I would have been raving about that aspect of Moore's game.

He led the country with 10 interceptions in 2009, displaying great instincts and an ability to read the quarterback's eyes like a book.

Unfortunately, something happened in 2010. Moore only recorded one pick. A fluke, or did he get figured out?

Guess which way I'm leaning.

2. DeMarco Murray, RB, Dallas Cowboys

Oklahoma running back DeMarco Murray was selected by the Dallas Cowboys with the 71st overall pick in the third round.

The Cowboys had a decent rushing attack in 2010, but they don't really have a primary back. My guess is that Murray will at least be given a shot to shoulder that responsibility.

Murray had a good career at Oklahoma. He rushed for nearly 3,700 yards in four seasons, and he also proved to be a very effective weapon in the passing game.

But make no mistake, this is not Adrian Peterson we're talking about here.

Murray is big, strong, and fast, but his football IQ is a little lacking. He is not a patient runner, and he does not have the kind of lateral quickness that will allow him to go around tacklers at the next level.

And while he is powerful, he is not very good in short yardage situations.

The worst part about Murray, however, is that he is injury prone. A dislocated knee cap ended his season in 2007, and he missed games over the next three years for a variety of injuries.

The phrase "damaged goods" comes to mind.

1. DeMarcus Van Dyke, CB, Oakland Raiders

The Oakland Raiders selected Miami cornerback DeMarcus Van Dyke with the 81st overall pick in the third round.

Essentially, he will be charged with replacing Nnamdi Asomugha, who the Raiders (for some reason) cut loose earlier this offseason.

Unlike Gilchrist, Van Dyke has the height to cut it in the NFL, as he stands a little over 6'0". The problem is that he is listed at around 175 pounds, which is not going to cut it in the NFL.

But wait, it gets worse. Van Dyke is not supposed to have good cover skills, and he needs a lot of work as far as recognizing and adjusting to routes.

He is also not supposed to be very physical, which is a must when you're in the same division as big receivers like Dwayne Bowe and Vincent Jackson.

So why would the Raiders be interested in this guy, you ask?

Take a wild guess.

That's right. He's fast. As a matter of fact, he was the fastest corner at the combine, running the 40-yard dash in 4.25 seconds.

I rest my case.
