ESPN's Todd McShay reports that of this list, Brady Quinn is the most "overhyped" and that he would not draft Quinn in the Top-10.

Five prospects bound to be over-drafted

• QB Brady Quinn, Notre Dame: Quinn is a good prospect, but he's overhyped. His combination of size, intelligence, arm strength and mobility makes him a first-rounder, and he enters the league with tremendous experience and an ideal work ethic. However, his well-documented big-game struggles (2-8 combined in bowl games and contests versus USC and versus Michigan), and his below-average accuracy would be enough to scare me away from drafting Quinn in the top 10.
• RB Antonio Pittman, Ohio State: Pittman is a tough runner for his size, and he gets through the hole with impressive burst. However, his playing weight is barely 200 pounds, and he runs with a narrow base, which means he won't generate as many yards after contact as a good starting running back in the NFL should. In addition, Pittman has marginal experience in the passing game and wanted nothing to do with special teams at Ohio State. His stock soared after running the 40-yard dash in the 4.4-second range at the combine, but I wouldn't be willing to sign off on Pittman any earlier than Round 3.
• RB Chris Henry, Arizona: No player's stock has elevated post-combine as much as Henry's. The 5-foot-11, 230-pound back wowed scouts with his speed and agility during workouts. Since then, it seems everyone is making excuses for his marginal collegiate production. If he's drafted as high as I'm hearing (possibly Round 2), a team will be taking an awfully big risk on a player who lost his job after being suspended for a game in 2006 and finished his final season averaging just 3.5 yards on 165 carries.
• DT Tank Tyler, N.C. State: Tyler projects as a second-round pick, but I would be scared to touch him at any point on Day 1. He has enough size, upper-body strength and quickness to make some noise as a one-gap defensive tackle when he's fresh and motivated to play. However, he's not a wide-base defender who can eat blockers in a two-gap scheme, and he's a limited athlete who won't provide consistent interior pass-rush pressure in the NFL. Furthermore, Tyler comes with some concerning baggage in regards to character and mental capacity.
• PK Mason Crosby, Colorado: Crosby's enormous range on field goals will land him a spot on Day 1, perhaps as high as the second round. The team that pulls the trigger will be assuming a massive risk at that point. Crosby missed 16 of 56 attempts (71 percent accuracy) during his final two seasons at Colorado, and for some reason his explosive leg strength does not always translate to kickoffs.

This is Profootballtalk's six version of its first round mock draft. They have a bunch of up-front trades, with the Detroit Lions trading out of the two-spot, and the Minnesota Vikings getting the Tampa Bay Bucs' fourth pick, which I find hard to believe will happen, but that's me.
