Overrated players in the 2018 draft

OVERRATED PLAYERS:

  • Jaire Alexander - 

Scouts inc. 15
Gil Brandt 16
Daniel Jeremiah 16    

My rating: 57

I gave the kid a solid 2nd round grade, I don’t hate him, I just take kids in the first because I think their elite and I think he projects as a quality number two corner or a really good slot corner. That’s not worth a 1.


  • Austin Corbett - 

Scouts inc. 35
Gil Brandt 62
Daniel Jeremiah 52

My rating: 116

I don’t get it at all. He might be a starter but some of these guys have him as a surefire second round pick and it’s mind boggling. Round 4-5 for me.

  • Donte Jackson - 

Scouts inc. 37
Gil Brandt 39
Daniel Jeremiah 33

My rating: 104

His tape isn’t that great. I get he’s super fast but there are a lot of fast people who don’t pan out. I think he’s a nickel corner but he doesn’t tackle well, is only 177 pounds and 5’10 and I don’t know if he can hold up from a durability standpoint. Just overvalued on speed. 

  • Baker Mayfield 

Scouts inc. 13
Gil Brandt  4
Daniel Jeremiah 13

My rating: 39

There is a chance Mayfield goes in the top 3 in this draft and to me I get that quarterback is important. That said, he’s 6 feet without much of an arm coming from a spread team. He’s exceptionally accurate and has moxy, he also has off the field baggage and I think he’s only okay as an athlete. He’s a second round qb guy and I think he’s simply Case Keenum.

  • Tyrell Crosby - 

Scouts inc 43
Gil Brandt 42
Daniel Jeremiah 44

My rating:105

Just quite simply really overrated. I don’t think his game translates to be a dynamic starter offensive tackle in the league and I think he needs time to develop and if you’re grading him early round 2 as these guys are they need to be plug and play.

  • Brian O’Neill - 

Scouts inc 56
Gil Brandt 58
Daniel Jeremiah - 51

My rating: 112

Nowhere near strong enough to play in the NFL and his tape wasn’t great. He’s a tremendous athlete so I get the projection from these guys but nope. 

  • Isaiah Oliver - 

Scouts inc 57
Gil Brandt 44
Daniel Jeremiah 32

My rating: 86

There’s a chance he goes in the first round and at worst mid second, and while I think he’s a pretty decent prospect, I think he’s a second corner in the league who is going to give up some catches. He’s not bad but he’s overhyped by a solid round and a half.

2024 NFL DRAFT PROSPECT BIOS

  2024 NFL DRAFT PROSPECT BIOS  Extra notes I put in italics. Some of these are from Senior Bowl or Combine notes that may have caused an update, and some are from watching extra tape later on in the Pre-Draft Process and I didn’t want to type everything up again.  Blue are guys I’m higher on by at least one round and usually 2 or 3 rds than consensus. Marvin Harrison Jr, WR Ohio State 99 I’m not trying to be contrarian here by putting Harrison Jr first ahead of Williams and Maye. The thing is my ratings are not positioned based when I do Bios and Harrison is the 2nd best prospect I’ve ever scouted (behind only Andrew Luck) so he has to get this rating. Harrison Jr is going to walk into the NFL and be a top 10 WR immediately. He has perfect size at 6’4 and 215 pounds and yet is a truly elite route runner. He creates separation and can get in and out of breaks like someone 6 inches shorter. His acceleration and ability to leave defenders looking lost is a rare trait. On to...

2020 NFL Player Rankings

NFL PLAYER RATINGS 2020 Every single year Madden comes out with player ratings and it puts everyone up in arms over how their individual guys are rated. You get people upset about their overall rating in the game, speed, cover ability, and everything in between. That said, the game and player’s overall abilities in the game are just simply not accurate enough. I decided that from now on, every year I’m going to build my own player ratings and list them out, giving ratings from 99 down. This isn’t a lifetime achievement award, or how good I think they’ll be in 3 years, this is for this season, without position importance just simply how good of a player each guy is period. End of story. Get ready to yell and disagree, but at least enjoy the reading. 99 - Patrick Mahomes, QB Kansas City This one is pretty damn obvious right? The guy has an MVP and.a Super Bowl and is only heading into year 4. I think he has a chance to be the greatest quarterback who ever played the game a...

2020 NFL Draft Player Profiles

1. Chase Young, DE Ohio State 99 I haven’t given 99s often in my career as an evaluator but this one was easy. This is the 9th draft board I’ve done from beginning to end and only the 3rd 99 grade I’ve ever given out, (Andrew Luck and Saquan Barkley were the other two). Young is an incredible player and an outstanding athlete who was the best player in the nation this season. As impressive as Nick Boss was as a rookie in 2019, Young was clearly the better player in college and the better pro prospect. Young averaged more than a sack a game over the past two seasons, and his explosive get off, power, and elite technique lead me to projecting him as a double digit sack artist as early as his rookie year.  What makes Young such an elite prospect isn’t just his innate ability to get after the quarterback in whatever way he wants, its that he can create havoc in the run game as well. His speed and ability to close from the back side is in the top tier, and therefore he’s th...
