YoloinOhio Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Which hyped player do you think will be a bust in the pros? Do you also have a guy who isn't being talked about much by the "experts" but you think will be a really good pro? Could be someone no one is taking about in media but you think will end up go higher than expected on draft day, all the way to someone who might not even be drafted. I am not good at predicting busts but I will go with Shane Ray Sleeper -- Michael Bennett DT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) Nice topic YOLO. I will say Landon Collins as the overrated player. Alabama DBs have been getting overdrafted for a decade (Millner, Barron, Kirkpatrick). No reason other than this. The system is friendly to them. I will give my underrated vote to Todd Gurley. He will probably go in the top 20 when all is said and done but he feels like a "that guy" to me, a dominating NFL player. As for someone a little more off the radar I'm a big fan of Benardrick McKinney. I saw MSU at LSU this year and it was a physically dominating performance. I have never seen LSU so physically overmatched and I thought that McKinney was the best player on that defense. He can have a Mosley or Kiko type of rookie year IMO.

LB3 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Bust - Mariota Sleeper - Durell Eskridge. Great size for a safety, which is ideal with how prominent tight ends are becoming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 I will need to look up Eskridge. Late round guy? Bills need a safety...Duke will start but they need another guy in the pipeline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LB3 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I will need to look up Eskridge. Late round guy? Bills need a safety...Duke will start but they need another guy in the pipeline If I had to guess, I'd say 3rd-5th round. He's a Syracuse guy (FTR I am a bit of a homer). Last I saw, he was the 5th ranked safety on a few mock boards. 6'3, 210, 4.6 40 yd dash. Good tackler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homerism for college programs is actually great here because typically you know a lot about lesser known players. I could name 3-4 other sleepers at Osu lol. We watch these guys so closely for 3-4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Section242 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Bust Brashad Perriman, Kiper has him in top 10 after pro day. Sleeper Ogbuehi, if he's available when the Bills pick I think he'd be the smart way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will probably go in the top 20 when all is said and done but he feels like a "that guy" to me, a dominating NFL player. Yeah Gurley will def be a star if his knee holds up. He was my favorite player to watch in CFB the last couple years, so bummed when he got hurt. Bust: Brett Hundley - Maybe he doesn't count because he could be a 3rd-4th rounder but I just don't see him being able to play in the NFL. Sleeper: Paul Dawson - Blows my mind that most don't have him going in the 1st, dude is a beast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haplo848 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Bust: Sammy Watkins. Underrated: ODB. I didn't realize Ol' Dirty Bastard was underrated, but I didn't think he was a football player. I thought he was a rapper...and dead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonborn10 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Bust is easy - Mariota He has no NFL talent. Just ten years ago he would have been a 6th round pick. He can't make NFL throws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Bust - Brandon Scherff - OT/Iowa Sleeper - Jean Sifrin- TE/Maryland Scherff just makes me think of Robert Gallery. That's not a good thing. He was a mediocre guard that was supposed to revolutionize the tackle postion. Maybe that isn't fair to Scherff but I am with you.
