Every season there are players who let us down based off their average draft position. I'm going to avoid players who were injured for much of the season, as that is an easy excuse for why the struggled. Those players can also be replaced when put on the injured list. However, the players that we held on for too long because we invested too much into them on draft day are those who will crack this list.

Players Who Disappointed:
