NFL Draft In the upcoming draft, who is most likely to be overdrafted?

[NDneighbor]

Kinda like a GM taking a long snapper in the first three rounds.
Seems rather obvious it would be a QB this year.
And we won't know until one or two seasons down the road.
But, who do you think is going to be taken way too high?
Lotsa room for tangent discussion with the draft starting on Saturday.

Malik Willis.
Has to sit at least a year and his ceiling is NFL average... with a few ifs, because I really dont see his style of play transfer to the nfl. Or winning nfl.
He should be a 4rd round pick, 3rd because he is a qb.
But he will prob be taken high in the first.

Any of the QB's and TE's. They are all projects and not worthy of a 2nd round selection this year. Lucky for us this is a good year to get a DE and a WR in the second and third rounds and AB has done well in the second round of his drafts.

Every QB drafted in the 1st round

It is unlikely that a whole draft is not going to peoduce one quality starter, but I woneer who the gem or sleeper is then.

Happened in 2013.

"unlikely"
But yeah, 2013 was a stinker.

I kind of get the feeling this guy is going to be taken later than he should be. (underdrafted)

Punter prospect Matt Araiza would like to kick field goals too, but NFL teams don't expect it - ProFootballTalk

San Diego State’s Matt Araiza set a new NCAA record by averaging 51.2 yards per punt last season, and that will almost certainly get him drafted next week. But Araiza was also San Diego State’s field goal kicker, and he wants to do more than just punt in the NFL.However, Araiza says NFL teams...

I never understood why you don't have one kicker take both roles. Makes no sense if they are good at both and it frees up another valuable roster spot. I'd draft him .

They would if those people existed.
They dont exist bc there are very few men who can do it all, and it is really 4 roles.
FGs, punts, kickoffs and holds.
Some accurate kickers dont have the kickoff leg. Some punters cant kick or kickoff.
I have played myself and we always had only one guy doing everything and some random guy do holds, but how specialized the NFL is, that doesnt work.

Seemed like the Scottish Hammer could do it. Probably the first guy who does it successfully will spawn a bunch of copycats, and it will become the norm.

I like the idea but, currently in the league I believe most GMs feel having one person punting and kicking field goals would be too many eggs in one basket. Especially if this all purpose kicking specialist gets injured. Then they would have to go sign a kicker and punter at the drop of a hat. And also have to move another person off the roster to make room for another kicker/punter.
