overated: Eric Winston - I've explained why many times before. I'm sure no one wants to read that explanation again.

underated: Deuce Lutui - He's huge and can play OG or RT in the NFL. Great footwork. He's going to be big time!

Cory Rodgers - But I think that will change after this weekend.

Well in terms of a hunch I think Vernon Davis is going to bust out but I'm not saying he shouldn't go that high. In fact he should go top 15 for sure because he's a machine.

Overrated:
Jimmy Williams CB/FS Virginia Tech - I don't see a top 10 pick in him. I'm starting to become less of a fan. I'm not saying he'll be bad but I've heard people say he's a better prospect than DeAngelo Hall and that's just plain wrong in my opinion.

Omar Jacobs QB Bowling Green - He's probably a 3rd round pick but I don't see much of him. Again this is my opinion and I very well could be wrong. Watching him play he has slopping technique. He's not as fast as people think he is. In my opinion he'll be nothing more than a solid backup QB. People argue that he didn't have much talent to work with. Well he didn't have much talent to play against either. A lot of people see him in early round 2 and I think that would be a big reach.

Ko Simpson FS South Carolina He has decent size at best and he's slow. He's very raw and probably shouldn't of came out in my opinion. He'll go late first round most likely unless he runs well at the combine. Hard to call him overrated since he's not projected that high.

Underrated:
Antonio Cromartie CB/S Florida State
Would of been a top 15 pick if it wasn't for an injury and he still could go that high. He has amazing speed and great hips for his size. I hope all that has stuck with him after the injury.

Martin Nance WR Miami (OH) I think he's a little like Randy Moss. He has the highest vertical in the draft and his size is nice. Decent speed. If he learns to run better routes he could become a solid player.

Kai Parham LB Virginia I think he'll be a solid player at the next level. I'm not saying a star but a solid player that works hard and can be the backbone of your defense. Has great size and was overlooked because of Ahmad Brooks.

overrated: and i might get a little for this but i think Lendale White is overrated. this is a similar situation that occured with ronnie brown/ cadillac williams. Ronnie Brown went higher even tho he was a backup and he didnt produce as well. I think Lendale will be a less effective runner than many think he will be in thte NFL.

underrated: another running back by the name of Maurice Jones-Drew. He is a guy who will not only be able to run, but block and catch. Maurice wont be a starter right away, but he will put up great kick return numbers and be a valuable change of pace to a team.

Ronnie Brown had a very efficient year. He would've produced more had Saban not wanted to get Ricky out there so that he was worth something to him in the trade market. Brown will be a very good back. You aren't the only one who thinks LenDale is overated. I think he's going to be a very good back. He has deceptive speed.

i think Len Dale WHite is fat ugly and out of shape lol so yea he is overrated. For real though I don't think he'll have the stamina he needs to be a good pro because he split carries and he is overweight, and also he runs at about maruice clarrett speed, which we know isnt to great. He also has attitude issues that hahve been overlooked. next Ron Dayne?

cubuffsman78 · #7 02-14-2006, 09:39 PM

I honestly think that Lendale is going to be faster than most people think. Even if he only runs a 4.5, with his size, that is more than enough speed.

uhhmm.... Ron Dayne is on the verge of becoming a star, but unfortunately probably not in denver. I agree that White wont have the stamina or speed to play full time in the NFL, which is why he shouldn't be a top 10 or even 20 pick.

Ron Dayne is nothing more than a backup. He had one big run and that's it.

Note: As a Badger fan that hurts to say but it's the truth. :cry:

Overated-Lenard Pope, TE, Georgia- I have heard a lot of people say that he is a better player then Mercadies Lewis and i couldnt disagree more. I dont think he is physical enough for his size. His blocking skills are questionable.

Overated- Ko Simpson, S, South Carolina- He's not that fast and he has played against much weaker competition in his college career.

Underated-Orien Harris, DT, Miami- I think he could be a great defensive tackle in the NFL. He has real good size for his position and plays well at all the aspects of his position.

Underated-Drew Olsen, QB, UCLA- Has great mechanics and accuracy. He also does not make a lot of mistakes. I think if he had a strong arm he would be a second round pick.
