Wes Bunting's Top Five Overrated Prospects

[realtick]

A look at who I see as the draft’s most overrated prospects.

DE Ryan Kerrigan: Purdue (6-4, 267)

I like Kerrigan as a pass rusher. The guy is relentless, he displays violent hands and has the short-area quickness to disengage and work toward the passer. However, in my mind he’s simply too stiff to stand up as a 34 OLB and isn’t nearly the type of anchor player many make him out with his hand on the ground. I think eventually he can mature into a solid three-down defensive end, but in my mind I don’t ever see him as an impact 10-plus sack guy in the NFL.

Hint: He lists Ryan Kerrigan, Aaron Williams, Muhammed Wilkerson, Nate Solder and Orlando Franklin.

I pretty much agree with all his points.

Might be worth nothing that he's not saying they will be bad players, before people get carried away.

I disagree with him regarding Kerrigan. I actually think he'll be a pretty good player, particularily in a 34.

I do agree with him regarding Wilkerson. I've been saying it for a few weeks now, but Wilkerson reminds me a lot of Jason Hatcher. He's a big-bodied kid with some athleticism. Very raw as far as his technique and pass rush repitiore. He has upside, but I don't think he's the third best DL (Dareus/Fairley) in the draft as some experts have pronounced him.

The first 6 picks in your sig would have me giddy.

I really like your signature mock draft by the way....

I actually really like Wilkerson. I don't see him going to Dallas though, since I have a hard time believing he'll fall to us in the 2nd round.

as the others have said that would be a great draft haul
