Name a tall safety, I probably thought he was going to be good.  Taylor Mays, Aaron Rouse.  I love that idea, it just doesn't seem to work in the NFL.

Thought Taylor Mays was going to be nasty. He was even fast. Just didn't have the hips. 

 

Most of these are just rookie busts but the biggest ones I'm on were ones that showed that they were going to be great but then fell off a cliff. Amobi Okoye is one of the biggest head scratchers I can remember.

I've gotten quite a few receivers very very wrong. I was super high on Jordan Matthews and was super eager to bring up the fact that I believed he was gonna be wayyy better than DaVante Adams. Not my best prediction. 

I was really high on Jake Locked as far as QBs go. And I'm still kinda high on Darnold also. Both USC guys

Too many to mention. Some that haven't been mentioned in this thread yet.

Chris Williams, OT Vanderbilt
Tracy Porter, CB Indiana
Patrick Chung, S Oregon (he's been solid but I thought he would be special)
Prince Amukamara, CB Nebraska
Morris Claiborne, CB LSU (I thought he was a better CB prospect than Peterson was)
George Iloka, S Boise St (I thought he was the answer to covering TEs)
Xavier Sua-Filo, OG UCLA
Dorial Green-Beckham, WR Missouri
