QB

OVERRATED
Kyle Trask QB Florida- Has the height,build, has a quick release.The look of a QB you get from Central Casting. BUT his arm is weak. I don't believe Trask could throw for 60 yards in fact I don't think 30 to 35 yards are not a struggle for him. He can get away with it in college,but not the Pros


UNDERRATED
Mac Jones QB Alabama
What does the guy have to do to get some props? He is the Rodney Dangerfield of the QBs Sports Jerks like Stephen A. Jackson wanted to ride and hate make fun of Mac Jones at the beginning of the year, but he shut them up. Jones has better numbers than Joe Burrow's Heisman year. Jones won a National Title. BUT YET All the love for Zac Wilson,Justin Fields,and Trey Lance
 
WR

OVERRATED
Rashad Bateman WR Minnesota.
The hype that Bateman is of a big possession WR.He is listed at 6-2,215. Which most likely means he is 6-1 and that's average height in the NFL. Bateman does have good hands, BUT the problem is his lack of speed. I'm not sure Bateman can run a 4.5 forty. He looks slow on his highlights. I think the Big 12 hyped him because he also has a better QB than say Nico Collins WR Michigan who I think is better. Who is listed 6-4,220. Look at Nico Collins he looks bigger,faster,and more of a threat in the passing game than Rashad Bateman.



UNDERRATED
Tamorrion Terry WR Florida State
One of my favorites and one of my pet cats. For some reason all the draftniks have forgotten this guy. Terry stayed out over Covid and I see ratings like a Day 3 pick. Not a chance. His talent is 1st round. Watch his highlights and I see Terrell Owen's or Randy Moss like talent and it still burns me today we passed on Randy Moss.
 
TE

OVERRATED
Hunter Long TE Boston College
He is not a bad TE but most rate him 3rd best TE in the draft. I think if Jake Ferguson TE Wisconson would have came out would have dropped Long to 4th. If Jeremy Ruckert TE,Ohio State decided to declare Hunter Long drops to 5th. Basically average TE in a weak TE class.



UNDERRATED
Tre McKitty TE Georgia
Besides Kyle Pitts,McKitty probably can stretch a defense for long gains faster than other TEs in this draft . McKitty is a receiving threat but not a great blocking threat. I don't care for the plodding blockers like Blake Bell. Those guys are a dime a dozen. Guys like McKitty who is a weapon are not as easy to come bye..
 
Overrated: Kwity Paye. The Taco and Rashan Gary comps are lazy but also come easily. Paye has little production just like Gary did, and like Taco, most of the production he does get comes on unblocked plays. There are times when he shows off some freakish athleticism, but especially in run defense he usually looks disinterested.

Underrated: Terrance Marshall. His name gets lost in the shuffle between being the #4 receiver in 2019 LSU's orgy of points and the #1 receiver in 2020 LSU's derailment. But his stat line in both was nearly identical, and he basically matched his 2019 stat line this year with five fewer games and an infinitely worse situation. Has the size to go up and get jump balls and the speed to run with short passes after the catch.

He hasn't got a lot of attention from draftniks this year, but couple the talent with the rain-or-shine production and I think he's a borderline 1st round pick.
