Best, worst and likely scenarios in this NFL Draft

There is so much uncertainty about who the Lions will select with the 13th overall pick in tonight's NFL Draft that most of the mock boards have them choosing an offensive tackle, either Anthony Castonzo from Boston College or Tyron Smith from Southern Cal.
They are both good football players, but don't equal the value of that pick.
So it will be an interesting selection, to say the least.
This is how I view the draft overall:
Biggest star-to-bust ratio - Cam Newton, quarterback Auburn. Either he is going to play like Michael Vick at his best or Vince Young at his worst. Doubt there will be an in-between.
Most under-hyped player with a chance to star - Colin Kaepernick, quarterback Neveda. This year's version of Josh Freeman, except more athletic.
Prospect from a Michigan college most likely to have an immediate impact in the NFL - Nick Bellore, inside linebacker, Central Michigan.
Ideal first pick for the Lions - Prince Amukamara, cornerback Nebraska.
Least ideal first pick for the Lions - Jimmy Smith, cornerback, Colorado.
Player who has fallen down the mock draft boards and likely to star anyway - Brandon Harris, cornerback, Miami.
