Aston Jeanty is crazy overrated

Oregon was completely exposed as a fraud in the playoff.  Do better 

DT Derrick Harmon has a top-20 grade.

DE Jordan Busch has a top-50 grade.

LB Jeffrey Baasa has a top-100 grade.

DT Jamaree Caldwell has a top-125 grade.

CB Jabbar Muhammad is projected to be a UDFA target.

 

Saying they were exposed as a fraud in the playoffs is like saying that Cam got exposed in SB50. It just doesn't make any sense... but that also does not seem to be the intention of the thread so I guess I can understand the buffoonery.

Facts are that Jeanty didn't just run up on a decent defense at the end of the season. He put up nearly 200yds on a good one at the beginning of the season.

What was that good defense? Because Oregon was 64th in the country in YPC allowed and their 38th in rushing yards allowed likely would've been lower had teams not been playing from behind for most of the year. The reality is that they were a middle of the pack run D. C'mon man, those PAC-12 teams have jever won on defense. You know this. You don't have to create a false narrative to prop up your favorite very good draft prospect.

A huge chunk of the early guys are overrated and just filling the void of top talent in this draft.

Doesn't make them bad players but comparing them to other drafts is going to look like bad value.

Also don't draft a RB in the 1st still....especially when this draft is loaded with RB talent later.

I like Jeanty but it's hard to imagine him having more impact than Bijan Robinson, who was pretty underwhelming as a rookie.  A good player but not the type of impact you were hoping for with a top pick.

My mind wants to say Jeanty is overrated because he doesn't look like an imposing player.  However, you can't crap on what he's accomplished this past season.  Almost breaking Barry Sanders all-time record.  That speaks for itself.

The experts seem to love him. Personally, I haven't heard one GM, coach or national talking head say he's overrated. Those in the know sing his praises. I haven't researched him because I don't see the Panthers drafting him.

We'll know who RB1 is in a few years.

I just find it funny how State fans come running to talk poo about how UNC fans always do something any time anything UNC is mentioned. Oddly, I don't recall any UNC fans shitting on Icky as a prospect because of where he went to school or mentioning his college team when he's looking like a turnstile in pass pro. The inferiority complex is just annoying.

Are any Carolina fans talking crap about any State prospects this year? I wouldn't mind at all to draft Belton in the mid-rounds. I don't give a poo where a guy went to school. If he went to UNC, great. But that's just icing on the cake.

Omarion Hampton is a very good running back prospect, but Ashton Jeanty completely breaks the scale compared to the rest of the class. It is hard, as someone with no dog in this fight, to believe that all the Carolina fans are simply being perfectly objective and reasonable when they try to equate Hampton to the dude who just had an all-time great season.
