Will Bitten debuted on the list last year higher than any prospect taken beyond the first two rounds of the draft ever had. The 2016 third-round pick was 14th in our rankings, reflecting his pre-draft placements, most of which had him graded as a second-round pick.
Putting up some really good numbers in his draft year while dealing with a tumultuous situation in Flint where ownership and coaching staff clashed, he asked for a trade before the 2016-17 season began. He ended up going to the Hamilton Bulldogs, and expectations were high after getting a proper chance to show his talents.
