Cade McNown
Nathan Peterman (though my argument for him and still is....IF HE WAS IN KYLE'S offense he'd be Nick Mullens)
Also thought Fitzgerald would be a bust cause he couldn't separate only catches jump balls. So N'Keal Harry will be on my list in 10 years

Taylor Mays was big for me. Size, speed and hitting ability in college had me going. Then my favorite 49er all time Ronnie Lott had me sold on him.

Taylor Mays - physical specimen but no subsance
Samm Watkins - I thought he was going to be a top 3 receiver. You can argue he still has time and injuries slowed him down but he should've been up there with julio, obj, and ab.

I always wonder what might've been with Mays if he ended up in Seattle and had a chance to play that Kam Chancellor role. A lot of failed prospects just weren't giving a chance to be successful because of the teams that drafted them and found ways to screw them up.

Charles Rogers, I was in awe of him even at my relatively young age, was sure he would dominate the NFL.
Curtis Enis.
Vernon Gholston (I didn't love him as a prospect as much as the other two but I did not expect that level of bust)

Jeff George... What a waste! I know he had some good numbers in the NFL, but his arm talent was ridiculous. He'd just flick that wrist and the ball would hum.
Totally agree.
One of the most talented QB's I ever saw.
What a BUM!

Carroll passed on him for Earl Thomas, who was the best single high safety in the draft and fit their defense perfectly. My point was that Mays would've probably been a stud in their scheme if he was selected by them outside the first round to play SS.
