We have almost seen those drafted in the 2017 draft for two seasons. It’s a good time to start analyzing the draft, and seeing which players were mistakes to draft. Last year’s draft had a ton of talent; so much talent that it could overlook a lot of the players who haven’t lived up to expectations. Some of these players could overcome their struggles and play at a high level, while other players may not be able to do that.Teams aren’t going to score on every pick Greedy Williams Jersey , but these teams are going to wish they selected other players instead. It always sucks when you look back and see that you drafted a player who has struggled, with a star player still available. Analysts work hard to find out about these players that come out of college, but some of these players really improve in the process of becoming a professional.While some players really improve, others can’t keep up with the NFL. While they could’ve been great college players, maybe they don’t fit in the professional level. It’s a different game that doesn’t translate to college. Just because a player was good in college doesn’t mean anything.

Sometimes you think you have the world, and you get complacent and struggle.
