With the NFL Draft just three days way, there are lot of opinions about whether many top-tier prospects will succeed in the NFL. In other words, one scout may rave about the ability of Auburn RB Kenny Irons, while an opposing scout may trash Irons for his lack of speed. Luckily, SI.com's Stewart Mandel is here to cut through the hype and weigh in with his fifth annual overrated/underrated list. Here’s his breakdown by position:

Quarterback
Overrated – Brady Quinn, Notre Dame
Underrated – Troy Smith, Ohio State

Running Back
Overrated – Kenny Irons, Auburn
Underrated – Michael Bush, Louisville

Wide Receiver
Overrated – Dwayne Bowe, LSU
Underrated – Sidney Rice, South Carolina

Offensive Line
Overrated – Levi Brown, Penn State
Underrated – Dan Mozes, West Virginia

Defensive Line
Overrated – LaMarr Woodley, Michigan
Underrated – Charles Johnson, Georgia

Linebacker
Overrated – Stewart Bradley, Nebraska
Underrated – Buster Davis, Florida State

Defensive Back
Overrated – Chris Houston, Arkansas
Underrated – Eric Weddle, Utah

Now we want to hear from you. Which of Mandel's picks do you agree with? Which do you disagree with? You're on the board.
