Recently I reflected upon the top-graded players at each position in my draft evaluations since 2004. That was a fun exercise.
This trip down memory lane is not so pleasant. But it’s an important one nonetheless.
Who were my biggest misses in the draft evaluation process?
Most of these are players who I expected to be very good in the NFL but didn’t pan out. There are a couple of notable prospects where I grossly underestimated their impact at the next level, too.
The point here is to learn from the misses. Why were my evaluations off? What did I think I saw that made me miss? If you’re not trying to get better and learn from your mistakes as an evaluator, you’re destined to keep missing.
