To me there are a few can't miss prospects this year:
Nelson, Barkley, Chubb, Smith, Vea, Fitzpatrick, James, Ward.
And, although I wouldn't list any of the QBs as can't miss, I think that Rosen, Darnold and Mayfield have good shots at being top QBs down the line.
If I were Gettleman and I was in love with only one of the QBs, and he was taken #1 by Cleveland, I'd have a tough decision. Take Barkley or Nelson, or try to trade down a few spots and still get one of those two or Chubb, James or Smith.
There really are a lot of guys to fall in love with at the top of this draft...position players who can really help the team.
Thoughts? (I know this has been beaten to death, but the idea of can't miss prospects might well be expanded from the three of Nelson, Barkley and Chubb.)
I think Rosen would be close if not for the injury concerns.
But for me, it's just those 3 players.
I'd be happy with any of those guys, especially if we traded down.
I will be happy with whomever we choose because if we think that highly of a player I will be all on board.
I think Rosen would be close if not for the injury concerns.

Derwin James is a can't miss imo
I can't remember too many.
Larry Fitzgerald and Reggie Bush come to mind. Even guys like Peyton Manning had their critics, can't beat Florida, etc.
I haven't seen or read one negative thing about Barkley or Nelson since this process has gotten underway. In fact, all I've seen is "gold jacket", "Bo Jackson", etc.

I'm a fan. Not sure if I'd call him can't-miss... but I think he has tremendous ability.
A lot of Ramsey comps.
But for the sake of conversation.. I'd guess Nelson. To me he's the safest bet.
Who were the can't miss prospects from 2013 (picked b/c by now we know).
look at the top of that draft. Fisher, Joeckel, Jordan, Mingo, Cooper.
no one is a sure thing I don't care what anyone says.
I remember reading how Darren McFadden was the next Bo Jackson. Same stuff I'm reading about Barkley now.
I think Vander Esch has a very good chance to be a very good day one starter and he might be available in round 2. I love this guys game and he has pro size.
+1
I have a good feeling about Kirk too. He should be able to jump into the slot role right off the bat...And be effective...
Barkley, Chubb, Nelson, Fitzpatrick, Darnold and Rosen.
For every 'can't miss' guy, there is a legion of people looking to find any flaw and focus on it... The only 'can't miss' guy who gets a modest break is the guy who fly's under the radar to overachieve (Russel Wilson)
Unicorns are real son. His name is Saqoun Barkley.
All Pro?
Productive Starter?
