I see Quinnen Williams at the top of this list followed by Nick Bosa and Jonah Williams.
Just 4

White has multiple red flags off the field since high school. He needs to develop better tackling technique but his ability to anticipate and read plays is what makes him unique.
Bosa, Q. Williams and Josh Allen

Agreed and will add D. White for LB and even DL E. Oliver based on his Jr. year (the NFL loves guys with first step explosion and he'll be a pass rusher as a rookie...watch).

D. White seems a bit say "cocky" perhaps? Maybe not a guy the Giants would like in their locker-room in this new era of "Team First" drafting and building?
Are we sure Nick Bosa is can't miss?

White has an immense ceiling  
allstarjim : 3/26/2019 12:41 pm : link
But also has a low floor. Definitely not a "can't miss".

For me the only can't miss guys are Quinnen Williams, T.J. Hockenson, Jonah Williams, and Josh Allen. I like Bosa but I'm not calling him a can't miss, because he's not an elite bender.
There's no such thing

as a "can't miss" player. Longtime BBIers will remember "can't miss" OLT Robert Gallery. There are many others. "Can't miss" guys bust all the time.

The draft is a game of chance, always. Teams can shift the odds with better scouting but every team has busts, including first-round busts.
White is much more likely to be a pro bowler  
ryanmkeane : 3/26/2019 12:45 pm : link
than Allen, IMO

This is a very good list. I may throw Jeff Simmons in. If you can live with the off-the-field incident, this guy has elite talent.

Could be..Wasn’t Heath Shuler considered a can’t miss?
No such thing as cant miss  
blueblood : 3/26/2019 1:32 pm : link
as none of them have ever played one NFL down yet..

After so many football years I realize that there is no such thing as a cant miss player.

Enough said!
I don't think Nick Bosa is 'can't miss'.  
Ten Ton Hammer : 3/26/2019 5:34 pm : link
Hell, Nick Bosa's father was a great college player picked 16th overall and busted. 7 career sacks.



None

There is no such thing as "can't miss" for an NFL draft pick.

Not accordingly to Dave Gettleman last year... ;)
The problem is can't miss is way overused.  
Zeke's Alibi : 3/26/2019 9:39 pm : link
Probably only should have 1 or 2 of those guys a year. To me, Quinnen Williams is probably the only can't miss player this year. A guy that will offer you a very high floor with zero bust factor.
And than you never know due to the violent nature of the game.
