This is based on a question asked to me recently.
So, we all know that the people who get chosen in the first round are 'supposed' to be franchise type players. However, this isn't always the case. Conversely, players drafted near the end of the draft are supposed to be long shots at best, but some go on to have long good careers (Dave Taylor anyone?).
Who do you think was the best 'diamond' in the rough
1) Cannot be drafted in the first 100 of the draft
2) Cannot be a Czech/Russian player drafted pre-1990 as these were crapshoots by teams in case the player EVER became available.
My best 'diamond' in the rough was Darryl Sutter, 179th overall, and he's had quite an impact in the league since.
