ESPN insider article:
A blue-chip NFL player -- or "blue," for short -- is someone who can win the majority of his one-on-one battles with opponents. Blues have the capacity -- both athletically and with football instincts -- to change games all by themselves. To put it simply, blue-chip players make "blue" plays.
During my time evaluating players in the NFL, these are the types of players I was always looking for. It didn't matter if I was studying college prospects who were entering the NFL or veterans our team was considering adding via free agency or a trade: We wanted guys who could make game-changing plays for our organization.
Odell Beckham Jr. WR New York Giants
He is the most explosive wide receiver to enter the league in a long time. His run-after-catch abilities remind me of Andre Reed. He is just so explosive; once he takes off, he's gone. In just 10 games this season (his debut was delayed due to injury) he has caught 71 passes for 972 yards (13.7 YPC) and nine touchdowns. It's rare for a rookie to be in this company, but he deserves it.
Others:
Le'Veon Bell
Golden Tate
Sheldon Richardson
Tyron Smith
Justin Houston
T.Y. Hilton
DeAndre Levy
Chris Harris Jr.

Looks like he's making a list of young guys that'll impact the league for a long time.

Polian always makes strange lists. He puts players on there that he would have drafted / signed as a GM. Watch his lists when it comes draft time / free agency. Some of his grades and ratings make you go wtf? And if there's a player that has had a checkered past with off the field issues, minor or major, he takes them off his draft board completely. Did that with Tyrann and completely ripped him as well. And he always compares guys with players he drafted as a GM. Kinda funny.

Flattering, but I think Polian sucks.

When I ever hear Bill Polian evaluating talent, I typically turn the tv off.

Polian sucks at life. He lived off of Peyton's talent for years.
