Archuletta was a pro bowl selection with the Rams and fell apart when his body wore down.

Lewis played like 12 years in the NFL major minutes and was a starter I believe.

However, I will say that Lewis in the context of good draft value was a bust, because his success was later. You can't draft projects and draft people for their second contract with a different team.

Greg Robinson is a bust though because he was #2 in the draft and could have loaded the Rams up with a ton of top players if the team opted to trade that pick. Instead they got a left tackle that lead the NFL in mistakes and was near the bottom of most rankings as a starter.

No Archuletta just could not cover and it got him benched in Washington. Had nothing to do with his "body." Though he was not a bust.

Lewis did not start as a rookie for the Rams and was never suited for the role they drafted him for, which is the fault of the evaluators. He did play some afterward for others but never at a high level. He was a big disappointment but not a bust the way Tye Hill, Mike Schad, and Jason Smith were.
