[QUOTE="Eight, post: 2736241, member: 73370"] eyeballed the list and there are a number of prospects who left the school they signed with for whatever reason and had success at the school they ultimately landed. i also think there is something to be said with being able to identify the particular skills, etc..... you want at a specific position and as you say developing that talent. think this is what gary is referring to when he talks about finding overachievers though in my mind they are more under recruited, under recognized prospects more so than over achieving college players. lucas niang is a perfect example. he was the #50 ot prospect in 2016. go look at the list of the 49 other ot prospects that supposedly were better than lucas. lucas made an impact from the first year on and yet there supposedly were 49 other offensive tackles better than him. i think the task of ranking prospects is impossible. comparing them is hard enough, but how many of those experts really paid attention to the #3 prospect in connecticut that year. a few quarterbacks who were in the top 50 during that time period people might have heard about: 2011 johnny manziel #22 marcus mariotta #31 dak prescott #42 2013 mitch trubisky #19 jared goff #21 2014 patrick mahomes ii #30 2015 sam darnold #13 lamar jackson 328 2016 justin herbert #43 [/QUOTE]
