Overrated/Underrated

[Flyer22]

I'm pretty sure this was posted a while back, but I think it has more relevance now that the Senior Bowl is over. Who do you think is overrated and underrated among the draft prospects? My picks:
Underrated
Jerome Harrison, RB Washington State- At first I thought he was too small, but Harrison really good in the Senior Bowl
Charles Spencer, OL Pitt- Succeeded against many of the nation's premier lineman in the Senior Bowl

Overrated
Elvis Dumervil, DE Louisville- This guy lead the NCAA in sacks?
Derek Hagan, WR Arizona State- Dropped too many balls in the Senior Bowl

They were overrated. They've since dropped down the charts.

Vince Young
Haloti Ngata
Barrick Nealy - he absolutely sucks, not a "sleeper"
Derek Hagan - was overrated, now falling into place
Eric Winston - see above
Andrew Whitworth
Greg Eslinger - those that think he can play in any system
DeAngelo Williams - somewhat overrated
Jay Cutler - see above


My underrated list is shorter, I'll do it later.

 

[Pocoloco]

ahh Vince Young. probably still a top 10 guy any way you look at it, but top 3? overrated yes, but only slightly.

 

[my 2 cents]

Man do I agree with you on Whitworth, he is horrible...when not jumping offsides or holding he is chasing the guy that just whipped his butt....

All a matter of opinion. Top 10 as an athlete? No doubt. But as a QB, no way imo.

I don't think you watched much Vince Young last year.

Vince Young's passing numbers...

Comp % - 65.2 Yards - 3036 YPA - 9.3(!) TDs - 26 INTs - 10 Rating - 163.9

The 1000 yards rushing and 12 rushing TDs are just a bonus.

For comparison:

Cutler:

Comp % - 59.1 Yards - 3073 YPA - 6.65 TDs 21 INTs 9 Rating - 126.07

Seriously, how many threads are you gonna post those numbers in????

I saw him quite a bit actually.

Every thread where there is someone who mistakenly states that Vince Young is a runner, not a passer.

So, if leading the nation in passing wasn't good enough for you, what is? Being an moderately accurate white guy from a terrible football school?

Here we go with the Vince bashing again. On a 'completely unrelated topic' did anyone see Donovan McNabb talking today about the poor conception of black quarterbacks? Hmm.

I have to disagree about Williams....he showed great vision and great speed and burst.The guy is not overated imo.I can agree with all the other guys tho.

Ozzy rules!!

Don't even start making this about color. No one is disputing the fact that VY was a great college QB. We're talking NFL potential, and IMO he needs alot of work. Some people are so narrowminded.

I trust scouts and personnel people more than stats. I doubt Vince Young puts up those numbers playing for Vanderbilt. I bet Cutler's numbers are even better playing for a more talented team like USC or Texas.

Saying he's a top 10 talent instead of a top 3 talent is considered bashing?

Exactly, but that kind of logic is hard for them to understand.
