Boyd and Bates never had a 1st round grade.
Higgins sure, but drafting the 1st pick in the 2nd round is basically a 1st rounder.
Sample was deemed a Day 3 pick.
Mixon was deemed 1st round from talent but off-field issues (obviously).

There are so many mocks/analysts grading guys...that probably 50-60 guys have a 1st Round grade somewhere. Some guys with 1st Round grades go in the 3rd Round.

Bates was a find. He was a pretty obscure player at Wake Forest. He was good in coverage, but knocks on his tackling.

Mixon...I don't know. Might have got him in the 3rd Round. He's kind of a victim of the team. On a well coached team, he probably rushes for 1300 yards a year.
