He also had some happy feet issues I think

Overrated
Geno Smith - Probably the #1 pick this year and it has more to do with the past two drafts and all the success of QB's than his own talent.

Khaseem Greene - I have seen people saying this guy will be a 1st round pick and at the latest an early 2nd rounder. I just don't see it. He is good in coverage but doesn't do a good enough job getting off of blocks and playing the run. I would prefer seeing Ogletree, Arthur Brown, or Sean Porter in stripes over this guy.

Desmond Trufant - A guy that shot up the draft boards after Senior Bowl week. No denying he had a good week and is a good prospect but all of the first round grades on him and a lot of talk of him being the 2nd CB taken in the draft. Seems a bit of an overreaction at this point after one good week.

Kyle Long - Another player that will be drafted high on potential instead of production and readiness to play in the league. Will have to add weight and muscle to play OT in the league.

Underrated
Matt Barkley - I really think his stock will go back up before the draft. For now though he is on the underrated list. He can make all the throws and the offense was never an issue during his time at USC.

Justin Hunter - Seen him as a possible 3rd rounder lately. He had a good season last year and that was coming off a major injury. His size and speed combination are really intriguing. I wouldn't draft a WR with one of our first two picks. After that though I would really consider Hunter with 2b and certainly if he happens to be around in the 3rd. He has so much talent and a lot of production to go with it the past two seasons.

Datone Jones - Him being on this list really depends on the source. CBSSports has him rated as a 1st round while mock drafts on Walterfootball and other places have shown him as a prospect in the 3rd or 4th round range. If he is a 3rd or 4th round prospect it will only be because teams are not sure exactly where he will fit. I personally think he can play DE just fine in either scheme and slide down to DT in a 4-3 defense.

Leon McFadden - Surprised to see CBSSports has not bumped him up from a 4th or 5th round grade. A player I had said would probably end up as a 2nd or 3rd round prospect even before the Senior Bowl. He did nothing that would make me feel any different after watching him and hearing reports during Senior Bowl week.

Look at the WR's he has had on his teams as well. Hunter/Rogers and then Hunter/Patterson along with a line that consists of multiple players that will play on Sundays for a long time. Didn't have near the production against the better teams he played good against either.

Florida - 22/44 257 yds. 2 td. 2 int.
Georgia - 24/45 281 yds. 2 td. 3 int.
Alabama- 13/27 184 yds. 0 td. 2 int.

Watch out for Jonah Hill too from Penn State, I think is a better prospect with a lower ceiling, but was ALL over the place when I've seen the lions games.
