I can think of some 1st round picks that were way overrated. Tim Couch (# 1 overall), Brady Quinn (# 22), Brandon Weeden (# 22), Johnny Manziel (# 22). And yes I hate the # 22 now. Hopefully they never pick from that spot again.

I'm going to start calling you 22.

Just not a QB. Hanford Dixon was a beast.

Damn I had no idea he was the 22nd pick.

The 6 22's were for the 5 players listed at 22 and you.

Don't fret too much as I'll completely forget this whole 22 thing in about 22 hours.

Tony Mandarich...

Pro scouts predicted he'd become the greatest OL in NFL history before he was even drafted. He was a colossal bust.

Emmitt was good, without a doubt. But man, those O-lines the Cowboys had for him during most of the 90's were so good that almost any 3rd string rate RB could have looked alright behind them. Then put a guy who likely would have been very good regardless behind those tanks, and you wound up with Emmitt putting up legit Madden numbers that are unlikely to ever be topped.

No chit, those 90's Dalls offensive lines are probably the most underrated key to any dynasty-like success in the history of the league. Just crazy good. That damn Herchel Walker trade..... fuuuuuuuuuuu--

I agree with @broncosmitty Lions are too consistently terrible to have anyone overrated. Calvin Johnson is the only one. I dont think Stafford is held in a high enough regard to count.

Richard Seymour.

Speaking of great Olines, another over-rated Seahawk for me was Matt Hasselback.

Wazmankg · Feb 10, 2019

Herman Moore - There are people around here who think he's a HOF'er. He was a solid possession receiver on a team with 2 other solid possession receivers and Barry for Ds to worry about.

Chris Speilman - Another good ballplayer, but not as great as many Lions fans believe.

richig07 · Feb 10, 2019

Alshon Jeffery - The dude is a mediocre WR, incapable of being a #1, is NEVER completely healthy and had the worst target to catch ratio in football in 2017. Yet, since he caught a TD in the Super Bowl - last year there were people actually saying that we should have paid him 70 mil. Despite being in the midst of a rebuild. Ha... He will never sniff 1,000 yards again and only did as a #2 to Brandon Marshall. In an offense that also had Matt Forte and a prime Marty Bennett.

Historically? Mike Ditka was just a below average coach that struck fucking gold, rode Buddy's D to a title and then choked in every ensuing playoffs. No excuse that they didn't win another Super Bowl. They were the best team in football at least twice after. Especially in 86 when the D was even BETTER than 85. I know McMahon got cheap shotted by Charles Martin... blah blah blah... but still... fuck that.

Then he sucked a fat dick in New Orleans and was a complete joke. People just like his persona and don't look deep enough into the situation. They shouldn't thank Ditka for winning one. They should thank Buddy, Payton and the D... then blame Ditka for not winning #2.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks Ditka is/was grossly over-rated @richig07 . I still hate the guy for the way he treated Sweetness and I'm not even a Bears fan.

Falcons:

Matt Ryan- Decent QB, not elite, and certainly not worth being one of the highest paid QBs ever
Julio Jones(really, really good, but not an all timer like the fanbase thinks)

Broncos:

Jay Cutler- When he was a Bronco, he was gonna be the next best thing at QB.
Demaryius Thomas- Good receiver, but had some serious butterfingers at times.
Brandon Marshall- Never been in a locker room where he wasn't a distraction

I think Joe Montana might be a bit overrated as a Chief by people who aren't Chiefs fans.

Chiefs fans not named Moose generally overrate Chiefs running backs a little bit relative to the rest of the Chiefs players. All of the running backs on Ranker are about 3-6 spots higher than I would place them.
