How do you know Andrews and Boyd are misses? You must be more clairvoyant than I am. Everything I've seen from them shows me they're talented. But because they were Undrafted, they will never get the opportunity to show it. So it's a moot point.
That's one way to look at it. The other way to look at it is that you whiffed on the evaluation, they're really not very good, and the league will treat them accordingly. NFL teams have nothing to gain by overlooking viable talents. Quite the opposite.
If you bothered to cite my most recent rankings, you would have seen that I had Andrews and Boyd at more realistic slots.
Lorenzo Taliaferro is a RB I had in the top 10. He gets drafted in the 4th which is just high enough to maybe give him some life. The situation in Baltimore is great for him to become the next Arian Foster for Gary Kubiak. Did anyone else have him in the top 10? Of the 4th-UDFA guys, he has the best chance to have an Alfred Morris/Zac Stacy impact as a rookie. And if you're not sold on him for the future, just flip him.
Terrance West is one RB I was not high on, even though I and everyone knew he was going to drafted high. Isaiah Crowell can easily overtake him. Ironically, Baltimore wanted West, but "settled" for the next best FCS RB who actually is a great consolation prize because I think he's just as good or better than West. West had horrible 3-cone and shuttle
times, while Taliaferro had
solid ones. Generally, if a RB has poor agility times, he better be able to break tackles at an enormous rate like Chris Ivory or Crowell, but I didn't see that with West. The ZBS scheme should help, though.
