The piece highlights Iowa, Michigan, USC, and Penn State as overrated and Maryland, Penn State, Washington, UCLA, Iowa, and Minnesota as underrated by different contributors, then offers varied bold takes (e.g., explosive offenses, a loss-filled conference, and a potential Ohio State–Indiana dynamic) and several authors’ champion picks (with Ohio State, Oregon, and Indiana all mentioned). The result is a wide-open, highly competitive season with no single preseason favorite.

Draft Buzz 2026: Scouts Split on Underhyped Gems and Overhyped QBs

NFL Confidential surveys NFL scouts and executives who split on the 2026 draft: while Fernando Mendoza is seen as a likely No. 1 by some, Ty Simpson’s first-round status is hotly debated and consensus on other top QBs is lacking. Rob Rang flags Drew Allar as overrated and Caleb Lomu as lacking top‑tier polish, while underhyped sleepers include Washington RB Jonah Coleman and Illinois edge Gabe Jacas. Non‑Power 4 prospects like Cole Payton and Bryce Lance are watched as potential late- to mid-round finds, with Emmanuel McNeil-Warren and Ted Hurst noted as intriguing yet unsettled prospects. In short, there’s no clear read on who will be ready for the NFL two weeks before the draft.
