Pretty simple. In your opinion who are some of the most overrated and underrated players in this year's draft?
 
For me:
 
Overrated:
Blake Bortles
Martavis Bryant
Jace Amaro
Jason Verrett
 
Underrated:
Marion Grice
Brent Urban
Marcus Smith
Trevor Reilly

Forgot about Easley. If he's healthy he's the #1 DT in this class imo.

Overrated:
 
Johnny Manziel (I'm aware everyone here disagrees, but I don't see it. I don't even see him as a boom/bust prospect everyone is making him out to be either. I see Jeff Garcia. A steady, average QB who isn't going to cost you games but is going to have minimal impact)
Bradley Roby (has great physical tools and athleticism, but too often gets lost in coverage)
Tom Savage (I honestly believe he's not even worth drafting)
 
Underrated:
Ryan Shazier (Great speed for a linebacker, a tad undersized at the moment but in due time he should bulk up. Makes plays all over the field, but needs to wrap up more in the NFL)
Aaron Murray (Size that might be hard to overcome, but better arm talent and pocket awareness than Manziel)
Xavier Su'A Filo (Best guard in the draft)
Allen Robinson (I think he's easily a first round talent who could justify a top 20 pick, but I don't think you'll see him taken that high)
Dri Archer (Will carve out some kind of role in the NFL and make an impact in short bursts)

Blake Bortles and Sammy Watkins are overrated

Archer is super overrated. He ran faster than DAT, and that's the only thing he has on him. DAT isn't a fantastic prospect- a mini Sproles at best- but he's better than Archer

They're both change of pace, speed based players, and I'm too believe that Archer having the advantage in speed isn't significant?

DAT has better acceleration, better cuts, better route running, better hands, etc

I don't see either ever making an impact in the league, to be honest. The idea of "Offensive Weapon" players is pretty overrated. Outside of punt/kick returns how many touches are you giving those guys any given week? I don't see the value.

Haha this is hilarious and kinda fitting for this thread. Greg Gabriel, former NFL Scout and Director of College Scouting for the Bears said this:
 
I'll predict right now if Bortles comes out and goes in 1st the HC and GM will b fired within 3 years
