and what are you using to base your opinion?

Personally I have been using www.draftbreakdown.com for their cut up's of prospects. I only used scouting reports and prospect rankings to get a consensus of who I should look at. I studied DB'S, DT'S, AND WR'S game cut up's quite a bit. I am going to limit each list to 1 player and am curious to hear your personal opinions as well as how you formed your opinions. So there is potentially some under rated sleepers I missed because the masses did not inform me to look them over.

Over rated

Safety - Jonathan Cyprien- Limited material to see, but what I saw does not make me think first round pick.

Cornerback - Desmond Trufant. I liked at least 3 corners better than him.

DT - Shariff Floyd- He's good but to be talked about as # 1 overall or even top 5..I am missing it if it's there.

WR - Tavon Austin- I see the possiblities with him but I don't think he should be the first receiver off the board for any team, espcially not us.

Under Rated

Safety - Shamarko Thomas- I get it he's short. He does not play that way to me and seems like the most sure tackler of any safety prospect I have seen. I think he'd be a great SS on our Defense. This guy would be great playing inside the box.

Cornerback - Jonathan Banks - This guy once upon a time was rated high not sure what happened. I liked everything I saw.

DT- John Jenkins is another guy I am super high on. I love him as a nose tackle. If people keep sleeping on Star then I'd have him as even more under rated but he seems to be rebounding from that heart test in some mocks/rankings.

WR- Terrance Williams. He's not my favorite receiver(that title goes to Keenan) but I like him more than the masses. A little raw but has terrific hands, good vertical threat and willing blocker.

If at all possible would be nice to let people post their opinions and let it be. Just want to hear some opposing views without having to read thru pissing matches of others bashing other's opinions and forcing them to go on the defensive and derailing the thread. Be fun to bump the thread down the road and laugh at each other but for now just wanna hear some other opinions.

I disagree with alot of this here. Especially Floyd and Jenkins. Floyd Is 10x the player he is in my opinion

Not saying Jenkins is better, but based off where they are projected to go, I feel like Jenkins is being slighted and Floyd is being a little over hyped imo. I was not posting prospect rankings just the most over rated and under rated prospects in my eyes. Have not looked over every prospect but have the top 5-10 or so at each position I listed.

Overrated:

Tavon Austin, before the combine. The guy was at best a late third round pick. Once he ran that 40 time, he sky rocketed. He's been over hyped by the likes of McShay, Kiper, etc. He's a career slot receiver. Nothing more nothing less. Percy Harvin did not get this much hype and he went in the late first. I don't see why he should be the first guy taken. I good someone else takes him.

Underrated:

Keenan Allen and Justin Hunter.

Both are severely underrated, not only by the couch GM here but the national pundits too.

Overrated:

Tavon Austin- Players like Steve Smith and Welker were drafted or not drafted in the correct rounds. Steve beat the odds but the odds still exist. Big fast guys run the NFL. Trying to pick the next Steve Smith is like wasting $20 on a scratch off ticket.

Chance Warmack - I just look at this guy and think his knees, feet, and ankles will not last 10 years in this league. He certainly has talent but I predict injury troubles for big Chance.

Mike Glennon - I just look at him and think this guy isn't a franchise QB

Kenny Vaccaro - 2nd Round pick in my opinion

Underrated:

Kenjon Barner - I think he has talent. He might not be Ray Rice, but he reminds me of Ray Rice in terms of being underrated.

EJ Manuel - I think there are some less talented Quarterbacks above him right now.

Levine Toilolo - This guy is huge. Most of his flaws can be coached if he's willing to learn.

I think he's a top prospect in his position but Allen is a tad overhyped. His skills, talent and athleticism don't overshadow WRs like Austin, Rogers and Hopkins. Furthermore, the comparisons to Calvin Johnson are ridiculous.

If we don't draft him, I certainly won't lose any sleep over it.

this is exactly what i mean. he is just as athletic as those guys you named, and who compared him to megatron? if the knee is fine, he will impress tommorrow.

      Panthers agree to 1-year deal with RB Rico Dowdle

      By TD alt · Posted

      "Just $3 mil," you say. I don't understand why anyone would be upset about incentives. There is a reason they're there: to motivate and bring out the best in a player. I agree with you that we could've saved ourselves roughly $2.5 mil, at least, but it's certainly more risky to gamble on "potential," than to just pay for someone who has already proven themselves to be legit in the NFL. That being said, I'd have probably gambled. But I'm not overly concerned with the contract. There are more interesting things to talk about.

      Reading the Tea Leaves: What Did Morgan Just Tell Us?

      Return of the “smokescreen”. Huddle classic, I get it. i don’t think they are doing any covert operations here. If it’s offense, it’s Tet or Warren. But it’s likely to be one of those Georgia guys as an OLB, it’s the safest bet and probably where I would go if we stay at 8. Maybe even Starks at S if we trade down, although I’d feel the same about that as taking Golden. The wide receiver class this year is weird. You don’t see a lot of route separation on film. Restrepo is pretty good at it, Lacy is good at it but may have to play in prison league. Tet makes all his plays on “fug it Tet is down there somewhere” broken plays. Golden uses timing and speed changes to get him some space, but I’d like some of his routes to be more intentional. I also don’t think you can go in thinking track record. And it’s not just WR, outside of Kalil it’s been a train wreck for pretty much everything in R2 for us.

      Lotta love for Warren here.  I am not high on a TE at 8--heck, last year Bowers did not go until around 12 or 13.  Plug and Play is a good point, and we could run some double tight with (in my opinion) two very effective TEs.  If it were down to those two, I think I would go with Johnson and have the best CB tandem--especially if we do not get a plug and play edge.  There are many ways to go....
