JK. I had some prospects who I was high on but never translated. I was looking at everyone talking about this years prospects and was wondering if anyone hit or miss on any prospects? Be honest now, here are some prospects I had a feeling that were gonna be good and hit the nail on the head or I had feelings they weren't gonna make and was wrong, vice versa. I will go first (Sorry majority of these are recent drafts prospects). Get some laugh out of this.

- Myles Jack/Jaylon Smith/Deion Jones: I gave the Packers a draft grade of -B for 2016. Looking back I should've gave them a C- /C. Missed out on multiple linebackers in this draft. Some argued these linebackers were busts or overrated. Things are starting to go their way.
- Randy Gregory: Some were high on this kid coming out of Nebraska and I could see why. The athleticism was there. The height and weight was there. But looking at his twitter feed that draft season. I could see the characters concerns. I said I wouldnt touch him with a ten foot pole. Twas right. Failed multiple drug test and currently suspended.
- Deshaun Watson: Ranked him as my number 1 QB prospect in 2017. He did not disappoint. His tape college in 4th quarter and comebacks are for real. I also loved that he majored in Communications in college. Great rookie season (Don't fail me now!)
- Chris Borland: Too short to play? I say no way. I saw the next Sam Mills in him. Great rookie season. Too bad he ended his career before it got rolling.
- Scooby Wright: Some people said he was next Zack Thomas! LOL. Watching his tape, the athleticism was just not there. I got a lot of hate for saying "HE AINT ALL DAT, he will be a special teamers"
- Paul Dawson: Horrible combine. But combine aint everything right? Well... his college tape wasn't that impressive either. I remember packer fans getting mad cause packers drafted Ty Montgomery over Dawson. I was not a fan of Dawson.
- Eric Kendricks: Hate playing against him. Key pieces in that vikings defense. Had a gut feeling he was gonna be a stud.
- Tyrann Mathieu: Honey badger takes and goes wherever he wants! Injury prone, sure. but whens hes on the field. It's sparks.
- Mike Daniels: Just watching pre season I could see the intensity in him. People wanted him gone after first season and to keep CJ wilson and Jarius Wynn. Also laughing at the people who wanted to cut Davante Adams.
- Micah Hyde: Ballhawk. Since first year as rookie, he was all over the field. TBH I'm glad he's with another team who can use his athleticism.

- Le'Veon Bell: I did not like him out of college. My reason behind this was I didn't think he had the right attitude and he weighed in at 240s at times at Michigan State. I was proven wrong when he lost weight, still has the power and gain speed. Heck, I liked Eddie Lacy more than him coming out of college. But since then.. Give me Bell over Lacy. LOL
- RGIII: Yes! I was on that RGIII hype train. Such a dynamic player in rookie year, injuries and other problems got the best of him (learn to slide). Back then said I liked RG3 more than Cam Newton
- Robert Nkemdiche: Next Ndamukong Suh? Nah I got faked. I was really high on Nkedmiche coming out of college. Hope he gets it together.
- LaMichael James: Track athlete. I watched him dominate in college at Oregon. Decent career so far but I had high hopes for him. Tyreek Hill did what he could not do.
- Dee Milliner: Great Combine. Showed hip flexibility. Never been able to put it together in the NFL. Sad. Free agent. Never became next Joe Haden.
- Kevin White: I seriously thought he was gonna be the next Terrell Owens. But hes seems like the next Reggie Williams. Cant get on the damn field. Big time fail on me.
- Vernon Gholston: Workout freak.... Just not on the field in the NFL. His college stats is one of the best in buckeye history. Thought he was the next John Abraham.
- Robert Gallery: Hey now.. I was a kid back then! I thought he was gonna be the next Orlando Pace!
- Colt Lyerla: No denying the athleticism is there. Just couldn't get rid of his personal demons. I had high hopes for him coming into GB. Currently in jail.
- Carl Bradford: College tape was impressive. But I knew there was no way he was gonna be an EDGE guy. Thought he had enough instintict to compete and be our starting ILB. Looked lost in space. Mental errors. Never played with his "hair on fire." Guess it got wet.
