          Amari Cooper is probably the closest in this draft. The chances of him not being a contributing WR, in my opinion, are VERY slim.

                    I don't think Robinson was can't miss? I got the distinct impression he was a project at LT, and would need to start out a guard for a year or two to refine his technique. Clowney - everyone questioned his enthusiasm, and Leaf-itude.

                    Can't miss prospects were Jake Matthews, Watkins, Khalil Mack?

                      Williams and Cooper for sure. I can't put Gurley because of the injury history. Gordon has a fumbling problem that takes him off the list.

                      Collins in the OL and Malcom Brown in the DL (I just can't put Shelton because he may eat himself out of a long career).

                            Would love to see a league-wide redraft, every team starts with nothing, reverse order picks like fantasy. Pick no. 1, Aaron Rodgers or Andrew Luck?

                              On the O-line names mentioned... I haven't seen any can't miss on tape, but gun to my head I'd go with Peat.

                                    Matthews, Watkins and Mack were what I was thinking of as well.

                                    My list as well, but there were others that got mention around here. Donald and Evans come to mind, and there was a certain post-draft influx that pronounced one of our picks to be one as I recall...

                                    Evans had question marks. He had only lined up on the right at college - could it transfer to the NFL? Was he just a product of Manziel, or the other way around? Looks like we have the answer to that one, btw!

                                      Every good QB develops a certain expectation from his key receivers. Given time that may happen for Manziel again. Evans was not the only guy he threw the ball to btw, just the most talented. And they did have that special relationship required to know both where to throw to and where to go on the field to find the ball.

                                        Where to throw the ball ? Up. Evans usually took care of the rest.

                                          I agree, but there were many around here that thought Evans was destined for greatness... and so far they've turned out to be more correct than we have.

                                          Anyway here's the 2014 edition...

                                          Can't believe I had Kony Ealy on the list. But offset that clunker with Anthony Barr.
