How often do you hit your predictions on which players end up successful and which are bust? What specific players did you nail and which proved you wrong

This is where everyone goes "I fricking KNEW Jamarcus was gonna be a bust!"

And "I totally called Andrew Luck being a stud!

I am pretty terrible at it.

Notables:

Elvis Dumervil slid WAY too far and I knew it.

I thought Robert Gallery and Jamarcus would be very good.

I'm sure they'll be a lot of honest answers here

As a raiders fan, I have to admit that I was very excited about drafting Russell and Mcfadden in 07-08. I thought they would be the building blocks for a great future.

From the beginning I knew Tom Brady had the balls to air it out

I would have taken OBJ and Mike Evans ahead of Watkins last year. Watkins is legit, but I think the other 2 are better and played far better college competition regularly.

Everyone on the MSB minus the Aggie apologists and a few called Johnny Football a bust. Didn't take nearly as long as I thought either

I'm horrible.

I thought Adrian Peterson would be a bust.

I had no idea what anyone would pick ODJr in the 1st round.

Basically if they are good, I thought they would suck. If they were a bust, I thought they were going to revolutionize the game.

Hmm interesting.. Pretty sure most LSU fans that OBJ would be a decent player at best on the next level

organizational fit, development and player's focus are so much a part of success that its impossible for the youtube highlight watcher to figure anything out on predictions in the NFL.

We all have ones that we've nailed, and others not so much.

I thought Tom Brady was a steal in 6th round at the time. I had no idea he would be this good, but I knew he'd be a starter. I could never figure out why Michigan fans loved Drew Henson so much, and that he split time with Brady. Brady always seemed to be the better performer in the games.

I loved Bridgewater in that QB class so I guess I hit that one

Not bad… I remember when Jake Locker was suppose to be the next Steve Young, I didn't think he would pan out.

I usually nail QB predictions, especially busts

Gabbert, Ponder, RG3, Manziel, Geno, Freeman, Bradford, etc....I don't see how it's hard to predict honestly, so not patting myself on the back.
I said last year that Carr and Mettenberger would easily be the best 2 QBs in that draft. I also said Kapernick would be a one year wonder. I did think Locker would be solid, missed on that one.
Good QB play is so hard to find but I think it's easy to evaluate. This is why I've been a Romo defender for years, he's been unarguably a top 10 for 7-8 years and people hate on him....I don't get it

Also, I'm a Tampa Bay fan and im calling it now....Winston can't play in this league, just go watch the Florida Gator game film and you'll see it. Mediocre arm strength and poor decisions, my Bucs will be set back another 4-5 yrs when they draft him....FML, I'm debating whether to jump on the Arizona Cardianls bandwagon
