Vince could make a good running back because he's big, fast, and strong, but as a QB I don't like him.... He releases the ball really low, I'M TALKIN LOW!!! Not Bernie Kosar low, lower... He is a great athlete but I just think he's overrated as a QB...

Adrian Peterson isn't exactly overrated but, I can see where your coming from... Kind of, but still you have to appreciate A D's athleticisim and ability, I just love the guy.... Watch out for Kenny Irons from Auburn next year he's a good back also, he's about the perfect size at 5 foot 11 eleven inches...

Chad Jackson is sort of in the middle for me, they are projecting him as a first round pick but I really think people need to watch out for Joseph Addai from LSU... He's a good overall player so, who knows...

Most likely to bust: Matt Leinart.  He doesn't really have that great an arm, he was just surrounded by the best players in the nation.  I'm not saying Leinart will definitely suck, but Vince Young at least has a contingency plan: he can run.  Matt Leinart doesn't have anything to fall back on.

Most Overhyped: Vince Young.  He's not a very good passer either.  He really should have stayed in college for another year to improve his accuracy.  He could be a lot like Donovon McNabb, though.

Underappreciated: Vernon Davis.  For a guy his size, Davis is a burner.  He'll be an amazing TE in the NFL.  Haloti Ngata could also be mentioned in this category.  His size is unignorable, but I don't hear many people talking about him lately.

The only knock on Ngata is his work ethic, they say he takes plays off here and then.

Most likely to bust: Mathias Kiwanuka. He didn't have a good senior bowl practice and that's why he's projected to fall lower in the draft.

Most overhyped player: Jimmy Williams. There aren't that many 6'3 cornerbacks that have had great success. Just look at Curtis Deloatch.

Most underappreciated player: Drew Olsen. Nobody has mentioned that Drew Olsen threw for 3055, with 31 touchdowns and only 3 interceptions with UCLA last season.

I agree, but those numbers are inflated because he played in the Pac-10, I mean, they aren't exactly defensive minded.

Very true, I'd like to see Olden put up those numbers in one of the stronger conferences (Big Ten, ACC, Big East)

I think wallymartin has also summed up things for me as well.

Matt Leinart doesnt' have a very strong arm and he did play in the Pac-10. You know that's where they play like the Colts & Chiefs of a few years ago, just score more than your opponent and give it a shot on D.

Vince Young definitely needs more time on the field before he's ready. I know everybody raved about his workout, but it was indoors and he waited for receivers to make their breaks on a lot of the routes. Do that in the NFL and it's 6 the other way.

Vernon Davis looks like the next Antonio Gates with more speed.

Most likely to bust = Matt Leinart. He is good in college sure but he has some of the best players in the nation playing for him against a lot of Colleges with bad defense. I wonder how he is going to do in the NFL where talent is spread a lot more evenly and the speed of the game is just so much faster. Without all the perks of being on a team with dominating talent like at USC.

Reggie Bush and Lendale White Why, you ask? They never actually had to go through a full game, they always were there to complement each other and switch off during a game
