I seriously thought Matt Barkley was going to be the best QB of all time

I'm not shitting you. I don't know why. It wasn't anything he did in particular. I just had a feeling.

Man was I wrong.

If I remember correctly though, the knock on mays was that he can't cover anything

I thought Lendale White would be a very solid pro tailback. I think he still might have been if he didn't love to drink so much.

Ramses Barden

I thought at 6'6 he would be a better Plaxico Burress

Biggest miss for me was probably VY. Just a dominant college athlete and complete head case.

Kevin Faulk. I figured he would have more of an impact in the league than being just a role player.

I figured the Lions would hit on one of their WR's (before Calvin).

Both Roy Williams'

Especially the UT Williams, freak athlete just a lazy pussy though I guess.

William Green, loved his game at Boston College.

T.J. Duckett, not sure if I thought he'd be great in the NFL but he was fun to watch in college.

Tough to call Thomas Jones a bust because he did have a lengthy career and was pretty productive the latter half of his career. He was still never what I thought he was going to be coming out

McFadden is what he was, very talented but injury prone.

Peter Warrick. I thought he was going to be a superstar immediately and unstoppable in the pros. As sure as a can't miss as anyone.

Also Matt Leinart and Vince Young.

I thought Leinart was as safe of a pick as there was to be a Franchise player that would be a winner like a Tom Brady.

I thought Vince Young was one of those rare physical freaks that just had that "it" factor. A Michael Vick with the intangibles and drive of a Michael Jordan that would lead his teams to multiple Championships.

Wanted the Saints to get one of them and was disappointed that the Saints signed Brees instead.
