No NFL franchise can have a perfect draft class. Every year, a chunk of non-first-round picks will surprise all and a chunk of first-round picks will be paving their path down the bust trail. Some cases are a result of teams putting too much investment into a player’s potential even with a lack of collegiate production and some just ignore the data. With that being said, there are some cases in which a player with superb collegiate numbers just doesn’t translate to the NFL as expected.
Nonetheless, we here at PFF give you cases of all three of those scenarios in our rookie stock report that was drafted using PFF’s unique grading system and advanced database.
