Buffalo716 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 With the draft around the corner I thought this would be a fun thing to do because everybody likes to talk about how often they are right But what about your biggest whiff Who did you like so much that ended up being a dud? In all my years of scouting my biggest whiff is that I was huge on Brady Quinn He had it all ,the size ,leadership, intangibles toughness, good arm. Then the browns happened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCOrange Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Nope, I'm pretty sure I've never been wrong about a prospect before. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangarang Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 (edited) I didn’t think Von Miller would be that good and was very happy when the Broncos took him ahead of Dareus. Edited April 17, 2020 by Bangarang 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJB Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 (edited) I like this thread idea! I thought Nick Nolte would age well. I guess I was wrong! Edited April 17, 2020 by DJB 1 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reader Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 I thought that McCargo was going to be a fixture for our DL. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyDays Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 I thought Pat Mahomes would bust. Strong arm, physical, but inconsistent accuracy and decision making and he played in an air raid offense in college. Credit to the Chiefs for being patient with him and turning him into the most exciting player in the league. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DFT Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Blaine Gabbert. I went to great lengths, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloHokie13 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Loved Rosen. Still do to some extent, as his circumstances have been about as bad as imaginable. But he certainly hasn't produced at this point. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nester Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Not mine but I recall some interesting pro vs con talking DK Metcalf last year. Turns out to be a great pick for the hawks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloHokie13 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Josh Doctson was another I absolutely loved and wished we picked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireChans Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Jameis Winston. Not that he’s a flat out bust but he certainly wasn’t the next great QB like I thought he’d be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blokestradamus Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 2015 - Way too high on David Cobb (Minnesota RB), Kevin White, Devante Parker, Maxx Williams (Walford and Koyack also crashed and burned, RIP my credibility). Xavier Cooper, Owa Odighizuwa, Paul Dawson, Hayes Pullard, Eric Rowe. Best player I was way too low on, probably Jamison Crowder. 2016 - Most of the WR class, if I'm honest. Stephen Anderson (Cal TE), Landon Turner, Noah Spence, Bronson Kaufusi, Jeremy Cash, AJ Stamps. I was a lot lower on Buckner, Hunter Henry & Jack Conklin. I'm not going any further or I'll cry 11 minutes ago, Buffalo716 said: Blokes my friend how are you doing I'm doing good, thanks. How are you?

DCOrange Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 (edited) I haven't been doing this a super long time, but a couple recent ones that aren't off to good starts are Quinnen Williams (who I thought was pretty much a lock to be a beast, though I'm definitely not out on him yet) and Stanley Morgan (who I think was like my #5 WR in the class last year and I believe was a practice squad guy all year. The latter seems pretty likely to be a mistake. We'll see with Quinnen. In terms of being too low on guys, Calvin Ridley comes to mind.

The other one that springs to mind is Corey Davis the receiver the Titans took. I was convinced he was a #1 guy.

I thought that he had a high floor and high ceiling. I was so pissed when they said “Allen” instead of “Rosen.” 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
