While top prospects dominate the early portion of NFL draft coverage, it can take years before the class' top prizes are truly revealed.
The Pro Football Hall of Fame is littered with underrated prospects of yesteryear. Running back Terrell Davis was the 196th choice of the 1995 draft. The late, great quarterback Johnny Unitas went 102nd in 1955. The late, great quarterback sacker Deacon Jones was the 186th selection in 1961.
A high prospect pedigree is earned and deserved, but it by no means guarantees success. Similarly, future stars slip through the cracks so often it's fair to wonder if talent evaluators are making more than educated guesses on draft night.
