The I just don't get it Under/Over Rated Players
Overrated - Ben Jones OC (2nd/3rd) I just dont get it. He gets pushed back in the pocket, gets beat off the snap, is often on the ground and looks un-athletic in open space.
Underrated - Philip Blake OC (4th) Ok, he will 26 to start the season, but why is he rated as a 4th rounder. He is bigger and quicker than Ben Jones both in game footage and at the combine. His bench reps were a little on the low side but he does have slightly longer arms than Jones.
Slightly Overrated - Peter Konz OC (1st) He is a good player, but is not overly strong or quick.
Overrated - Dre Kirkpatrick CB (Top 20) - Borderline athlete at CB.
Overrated - Leonard Johnson CB (3rd/4th/5th) Slow 5-9ish CB. Barry Church had better agility numbers.
Underrated - Bruce Irvin OLB (2nd/3rd) - Physically, he is almost a clone of Von Miller. Von Miller was the #2 overall pick in 2011 but Irvin is projected to possibly go in the 3rd round?
Overrated - Dontari Poe DL (Top 10) - Do any of the analysts watch the games?
Underrated - Akiem Hicks DL (5th) - Ok, the level of competition is very low, but he looked like a huge athletic beast in games. He looked good in the Shrine game and in pass-rush drills.
Overrated - Michael Brockers DL (Top 20) Really? I dont see the athleticism expected of a top 20 pick either in games or at the combine.
Overrated - Courtney Upshaw OLB/DE (Top 25) Marginal athlete, short with short arms for the position.
Slightly Overrated - Melvin Ingram OLB (Top 10) Good athlete that had some exceptional games but is short with short arms.
Underrated - Levy Adcock OT (7th) I thought he looked OK at LT and good at RT.
Underrated - Ryan Broyles WR (6th) Ok, he is injured and is not a burner; however, he finished his collegiate career as the NCAA career receptions leader with 349 catches and No. 2 on the NCAA career receiving yards chart with 4,586 yards.
Underrated - Chris Rainey WR (6th) Ok, some sites have him rated higher. He has terrific speed and agility to be a slot-WR and punt returner.
Underrated - Miles Burris ILB (6th to UDFA) Plays like his hair is on fire. Has good speed/quickness and strength. (6-2, 240, Forty=4.67*, 3-cone=6.85*, bench=31, vert=37.5)
Underrated - Chris Greenwood (UDFA) Very small school but big time athlete (6-1, 193, forty=4.37*. vert=43, bj=11-2)
