    I agree withOverrated: Kenny Irons (Only carried the load in one year, got drastically worse his Senior year, and not terribly productive compared to many other small shifty backs like he is), Lamar Woodley (Not a great athlete, Although not so much overrated anymore now that he's fallen into the Second Round, which is a fair spot for him), Stewart Bradley (Not a great athlete either). Underrated: Michael Bush (When healthy, one of the Top backs in the Nation), Dan Mozes (Decent Center Prospect, better then being given credit for), Buster Davis (Small, but no way he's only a 6th Round Prospect), Eric Weddle (I think he's a better prospect then given credit for, just doesn't get the hype because of coming from the Mountain West). I disagree with..Overrated: Brady Quinn (Good QB Prospect, and QB prospects get overhyped because of the rarity of a good one, he's no more overrated then Russell is), Dwayne Bowe (Bailed out JaMarcus Russell on many occasions with his great adjustments to some of his errant passes), Levi Brown (See Brady Quinn), Chris Houston (Studly.)Underrated: Troy Smith (Midget QB who had a great run game, WR targets and Offensive Line to work with in college, his teams in the Pros won't mismatch opponents as much as they did last year, he was exposed in the Florida game when faced against an equally talented team), Sidney Rice (Classic Spurrier WR who busts in the NFL), Charles Johnson (Despite Quentin Moses taking all the attention and Double Teams away from Johnson, he was still relatively average in terms of production.)

    [quote name='chang' post='90027' date='Apr 19 2007, 02:08 PM']http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writ...ated/index.htmlSays Michael Bush is a 6th rounder. Same goes for Buster Davis. And Troy Smith is a late 4th.If Bush, Davis and Smith are around where SI says they are, I damn hope the Ravens snatch them up.[/quote]That's not what he said:
    He's questioning the now-common thought that his stock has slipped that far; he's got him listed in underrated.
    ..and that one's right there in context. That point is one of the ones I agree with most in this article, because people have been badtalking Davis for months now. I've seen him in the mid-late third, and I had him in the late-first to New England to make a statement before slipping him a bit into the second, but he's a good player and shouldn't be falling out of the top 50 selected.And speaking of people I had in the first round for a long time (again, more or less to make a statement about my opinion on him):
    That's not me bragging because I have the same opinion as this guy, but I just want everyone to keep an eye on him.

    I didn't say the author said that. I'm saying the articles brings up the (what I would call shocking) point that they are being considered of that value.Maybe I should have clarified my point.
