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

I didn’t think Von Miller would be that good and was very happy when the Broncos took him ahead of Dareus.

I like this thread idea!

 

I thought Nick Nolte would age well.

I guess I was wrong! :(

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.

Im guilty on Rosen as well...

 

I’m starting to think I need a new profession.

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 :D

Blokes my friend how are you doing

 

I'm doing good, thanks. How are you?

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.

This is mine too. 

 

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

I didn't think Nick Chubb was ever going to be the same again after his terrible knee injury. 

 

I was wrong

I think that i need to own this too. I really was sure he was going to be, at worst, Andy Daltonish. I thought that he had a high floor and high ceiling. I was so pissed when they said “Allen” instead of “Rosen.”
