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.

mock 4.0 senior bowl week mock

 This is what I think will happen with a twist - I'm going to mock all 32 teams and give all at least one draft pick, but I'm ALSO going to give them a free agent I THINK they should sign. So this exercise is a mock on what I think will happen for the draft and what I think the team SHOULD do for the free agent. Feels like it's something different and hey we've got 6 weeks til Free Agency so this will give everyone something to read. This also doesn't include any free agents I think they should re-sign.  Effective Cap Space: the cap space a team will have after signing at least 51 players and its projected rookie class to its roster. 1. Chicago Bears - QB Caleb Williams, USC I think the Bears ultimately trade Justin Fields to someone, Atlanta, Las Vegas, Denver, and pull the trigger with Williams who is one of only a handful of 99 players who have ever come out. If he doesn't give you Patrick Mahomes vibes I can't help you. Bears "Effective" Cap Sp

MOCK 3.0 What I THINK will happen

 Man even looking back at my mocks from 2 months ago, things change so fast in this cycle. Players get hurt, teams go on runs, players develop or fall off. It's amazing what can happen and both how long and how short a football season is. This is not what I would do, but what I think will happen. I play in an ultra competitive team building madden league and I don't want my compatriots to know what I'm thinking or where I'm grading players anymore because now it's getting serious. So here we go. My first real shot at a mock now that the first 18 teams orders' are locked in. 1. Chicago Bears - QB Caleb Williams, USC Look, Justin Fields shows flashes of absolute brilliance. He really does, but his pocket awareness and ability to scan down field is well below average and he simply is not a very productive NFL passer at this point. Plus, Fields was not drafted by this regime - Fields will likely fetch a day 2 pick, which is valuable and you can start building around

TOTAL VALUE ADDED 2024 NFL DRAFT

 This isn't an article saying what team did the best based on their draft slot or anything like that. This is simply a points chart. I listed 200 players on my overall player rating board and put them up on a list and used the Spielberger draft chart to assign a point value to every slot. Based on my chart mixed with his value chart I came up with a points value chart for every single team in the NFL for the 2024 draft. We'll look back at this every year after 3 seasons to see how bad I was.
