With nine NFL draft classes in the books as the lead analyst at Bleacher Report, I'm often asked who my biggest hits and misses are from that time.
There's no dodging the Trent Richardson miss—that one still stings—but there are others, like Tank Carradine, who went to my beloved San Francisco 49ers and never got back to his pre-injury levels of talent. Justin Gilbert, the prototype cornerback from Oklahoma State whom the Browns selected in the top 10 before he quickly flamed out, still ranks as a big black mark on my scouting grade card, too.
