5 STAR College Football

Welcome to 5 Star College Football!

Pk Team Name Pos Sch Grade

1.Tennessee Cam Ward QB Mia(F) C

OVERRATED ALERT: Classic reach for need. Poor organizations stay bad with decisions like this, the spiral will continue! Not a bad player, but a middle of the pack QB long term in my eyes, not worthy of the #1 overall pick.

2.Jacksonville Travis Hunter Ath Colo C

OVERRATED ALERT: Not my #1 CB, and had I ranked him at WR he would have been a slot receiver and still not #1. Product of a system more concerned with QB stats and Heisman promotion than wins and losses. Also, HIGH MILES, around 3500 plays in the past 3 seasons, that's FIVE FULL YEARS for most players!! Meion did him no favors! Also, they gave up A LOT to move 3 spots.

3.NY Giants Abdul Carter DE Penn St A+

My #1 overall player, great pick, plug and play for years

4.New England Will Campbell OT LSU A

Is he a LT or RT will be the only question; he should start at LT Day one and likely not move in my opinion. Fills major need, solid value though a touch high, nice pick.

5.Cleveland Mason Graham DT Mich C

OVERRATED ALERT: Nice player, my #1 DT, that said, 1st round DT's, DO NOT have a good track record over history! Top 10 DT picks RARELY work out well 2nd round, fine! Plus, an incredibly offensively challenged team like the Browns had FAR BETTER options on the board here! Props for trade down though!

6.Las Vegas Ashton Jeanty RB Boise St C

OVERRRATED ALERT! The Mountain West in NOT the NFL!! He won't run past or over near as many players at this level. Remember that, and the Raiders will learn it, nice, explosive player who WILL help and have flashes, but undersized and not a complete player. Poor value this high.

7.NY Jets Armond Membou OL Mo A

This grade is based on him playing Guard or possibly RT! If they insist on playing him at LT, well, it drops to a C, at best with a BUST ALERT attached. remember how Becton worked out?

8.Carolina Tetairoa McMillian WR Az C

BUST ALERT!! NOT a #1 WR! Top end for him is WR2 on a team weak at WR, like Carolina. Struggled often to separate in CFB and it's MUCH harder at this level.

9.New Orleans Kelvin Banks OL Texas A

Another player who must move inside to maximize his ability, and he can be an ALL PRO. If they insist on playing him at LT , HE WILL FAIL! Jedrick Wills kept coming to mind as I watched him play!

10.Chicago Colson Loveland TE Mich B

Fills major need, just the wrong player, and I really like Lovelands game, athletic, great hands, nice routes, well-coached. Warren is just FAR BETTER

11.San Francisco Mykel Williams DE Geo A+

Best pick in the draft at this point, TOP 5 talent!!

12.Dallas Tyler Booker G Ala C

Yet again, Jerry proves he IS NOT the smartest guy in the room. Yes, fills need, and not as bad of a reach as last draft, but WILDY better options on the board. As long as Jerry is there, this franchise will win NOTHING!!!

13.Miami Kenneth Grant DT Mich F

BUST ALERT!!! This guy is a NT! And not the best one available. Sure, you can put him at DT, but don't expect much production. I have no idea WTF they are thinking but it's wrong, VERY WRONG!! Someone should be fired over this!!

14.Indianapolis Tyler Warren TE Penn St A+

The best pick of the 1st round!! If they can find someone to throw him the ball, ALL PRO seasons will follow. No weakness, think Brock Bowers who can block and is a better athlete!!

15.Atlanta Jaylon Walker OLB Georgia A+

Fills need, great scheme fit, excellent player, outstanding pick

16.Arizona Walter Nolen DT Miss F

BUST ALERT: Hard to understand reach here, far better options available than this late 3rd round graded underachiever, his best season was last year so they saw something I didn't. Yes, there is upside, but this was an unnecessary gamble.

17.Cincinnati Shemar Stewart DE Tx A&M F

BUST ALERT!! 1.5 sacks in each of his 3 seasons. WTF about that makes any GM think this was a good idea!! He a combine star, workout warrior who doesn't know how to play the game and shows no interest in learning. Just an idiotic WASTED PICK!!! Another pick someone should be fired over.

18.Seattle Grey Zabel G N Dak St F

I'm not big on several things, one is small school guys who could move up but don't and dominate at lower levels, another is players who rise dramatically after the season, HE IS BOTH! YES, there is some interesting upside and versatility, but those players should be drafted later, when it takes 3 years for them to develop it;s not as painful. One nice week at the SR Bowl should not get you drafted in the 1st round.

19.Tampa Bay Emeka Egbuka WR Ohio St A

Consistent, well-coached, runs precise routes, nice size speed combo, can play inside or outside, unselfish almost to a fault, consummate teammate, he will be a Captain on this team sooner rather than later.

20.Denver Jahdae Barron CB Texas A+

My #2 CB! Tough, smart, strong excellent character can play inside, outside or even fill in at Safety if needed. Not afraid of contact, no back down in his make-up. Plug and play on day one, outstanding pick.

21.Pittsburgh Derrick Harmon DE Oregon B+

Perfect scheme fit, solid player in all facets, size, strength, quickness, execution, just not spectacular in any. Just a little early for me

22.LA Chargers Omarion Hampton RB NCar A+

Perfect scheme fit, tough, strong faster than you think, most of you never watched him play, I see Nick Chubb without the injury woes. Look for him in the Pro Bowl soon.

23.Green Bay Matthew Golden WR Texas F

Some others love him, I see another Corey Coleman! Undersized for the outside, he is more quick than fast, route running is inconsistent especially on longer routes, lacks strength to win one on ones with bigger CB's. I saw him several rounds later. THeyb wait 20 years to draft a WR, and this is it!

24.Minnesota Donavan Jackson G Ohio St A

Day one starter! Athletic, versatile, experienced in big games, unselfish, can and has played LT and was quite good. Equal in both run and pass game, 10 years plus starter.

25.NY Giants Jaxson Dart QB Miss F

Lane Kiffin's QB's do not translate to the NFL. I was fooled before and have not forgot, like some do. Decent but not great arm, limited downfield, threw to limited route tree, he will struggle with the more complex reads needed to defeat NFL defenses. Developmental QB who's top end in middle of the pack. Not 1st round material.

26.Atlanta James Pierce DE Tenn A

Pure pass rusher at this point but very good at it and an athletic freak! He will need to step up major in run defense and with his consistency to become a 3-down player, but ALL the tools are there. I thought he could be a Top 10 pick at one time but upside is more than worth the gamble here.

27.Baltimore Malachi Starks FS Georgia A

Nice scheme fit, solid in all aspects and show excellent cover skills, I just liked Emmanwori better and feel he was a better fit. Still an excellent pick, he will be a Pro bowl player at some point soon.

28.Detroit Tyliek Williams DT Ohio St B

Another player I like but just to early. DT's rarely have 1st round grades in my world. Williams is massive, quicker than you think and knows how to finish! Can play 1 and 3 techniques, quick enough to even fill in at 5 technique if needed for short bursts. Great scheme fit and fill need.

29.Washington Josh Conerly OT Oregon C+

Solid all-around OT who fills a major need, fits scheme well, solid in run game and very good in protection, very nice player who will start and help day one, just a round early for me and better options on the board.

30.Buffalo Maxwell Hairston CB Ky C+

Fills need, nice fit, a little undersized but tough, quick, fast. Missed time due to injury last season. Solid in run support, can play inside or outside, he will contributor day one and be a very good player, just a round too early for me and better options available.

31.Philadelphia Jihaad Campbell OLB Ala A+

They had to be amazed he fell to them, the ricj get richer, tremendous value here, perfect scheme fit, great size, speed, quickness profile. He's only starting to realize how good he can be. One of the best picks in the round!

32.Kansas City Josh Simmons LT Ohio St A+

Perfect landing spot. He likely will not contributor much early this season and maybe not at all due to injury last season but look for him to rapidly become a long-term mainstay in the starting lineup by year two. He has improved in all facets every season and was heading to an All-American season before injury. THIS IS HOW YOU BUILD A TEAM!!

33.Cleveland C Schwesesinger LB UCLA C

A team as offensively challenged as any, more defense? He would have been on board a round later, stop wondering why this team sucks!

34.Houston Jayden Higgins WR Iowa St A

Great pick, solid weapon! Excellent fit, he will start this season.

35.Seattle Nick Emmanwori FS S Car A+

How he got this far with befuddle many. should have been a Top 10 pick

36.Cleveland Quinshon Judkins RB Ohio St A-

Not the OSU back I would have taken, but still a very nice slasher type, quicker than fast, improved in pass game last season.

37.Miami Jonah Savaiinaea G Az A-

Starter day one, MUST be a guard, has played tackle but inside he will start 10 seasons.

38.N England TreVeyon Henderson RB Ohio St A+

Best blocking back in draft, best receiving back in draft, as explosive as Jeanty, WILDLY better competition!! On the slight side, will need to split carries.

39.Chicago Luther Burden WR Mo A

1st round talent, best in slot but can produce outside, quicker than fast, solid route runner.

40.New Orleans Tyler Shough QB Louis F

I could have to eat this one, health will be key, older players like him rarely pan out. Solid arm limited consistent production, nice intangibles.

41.Buffalo TJ Sanders DT SCar D

Reaching early for a guy who would have been on board in round 4, solid rotational prospect, you want starters here!

42.NY Jets Mason Taylor TE LSU D+

Good, not great at everything, average athlete, better options on board.

43.SF 49ers Alfred Collins DT Texas D+

I see him at NT, a career full of teasing flashes, doubtful he will be anything more.

44.Dallas Donovan Ezeiruaku DE Bost C F

VERY one dimensional, pass rush specialist with moves limited to excellent athleticism, he will struggle to duplicate that same production at NFL level. Gets worked in run game. Likely could develop into a functional pass rush specialist, but round two is not where you draft that player.

45.Indianapolis JT Tuimoloau DE Ohio St A

Excels in run game, has shown pass rush inconsistently but has excellent potential.

46.LA Rams Terrence Ferguson TE Ore B

Excellent athlete, hasn't always lived up to it, disappears at times, consistency an issue but wild ass raw talent who could explode.

47.Arizona Will Johnson CB Mich B+

If he can get right physically, this will be a major STEAL, problem is that's not a given, has it all when right.

48.Houston Aireontae Ersery OT Minn A+

Should move tp RT ant start there for 10+ years and see some Pro Bowls.

49.Cincinnati Demetrius Knight LB SCar B+

Rock solid in run game, little rush ability, has the tools, shows potential in coverage.

50.Seattle Elijah Arroyo TE Mia(F) D

One big season after 3 of looking like a D2 player, big gamble here. very limited blocker, as in non-existent!

51.Carolina Nic Scourton DE TxA&M A+

He will start day one, look for an ALL-rookie season, Excellent all-around player

52.Tennessee Oluwafemi Oladejo LB UCLA F

Is he a LB? Is he a DE? Does he know? Apparently, Titans brass thinks they know! Too many question for this high in draft. I see the upside but how long or will it ever show?

53.Tampa Bay Benjamin Morrison CB NDame B

If he can stay healthy this will be an A, has all the tools.

54.Green Bay Anthony Belton OL NCSt A

Likely 1st year starter, RT is his best spot, he could move inside but he will find a place to start.

55.LA Chargers Tre Harris WR Miss A

He will force his way into this offense, over 200 catches, 3500 yards and 29 TD's in SEC !!

56.Chicago Ozzy Trapilo OT Bost C D

Built like an OT but moves like a guard. I'm not sold he can find a spot where he fits as a starter.

57.Detroit Tate Ratledge G Geo C-

Limited athlete, very strong, guard only!

58.Las Vagas Jack Bech WR TCU B

SLEEPER ALERT: This guy might be the hardest worker in the WR clas so don't be surprised if he outplays this spot.

59.Baltimore Mike Green DE Marsh D+

Exploded this season against poor competition, nice athlete but limited moves and run game ability, he is an interesting developmental project, not what you want in 2nd round.

60.Denver RJ Harvey RB UCF B

Excels in run game, has surprising power, quick AND fast, downside is he is very limited in all aspects of passing game and will need much work to stay on the field.

61.Washington Trey Amos CB Miss B

Should be able to work into line up as a nickle back at the least this season.

62.Chicago Shemar Turner DT TxA&M F

Never lived up to hype, looks the part just doesn't produce. Typical Texas A&M player.

63.Kansas City Omar Norman-Lott DT Tenn D+

Has some upside for sure, compact and explosive but limited moves, would have been on board a round later, better there.

64.Philadelphia Andrew Mukuba FS Texas A

Undersized safety will force his way onto the field. great pick.

65.NY Giants Darius Alexander DT Toledo D

Nice player with upside, just too early, he will need time to adjust after playing in MAC.

66.KC Chiefs Ashton Gillotte DE Louis A+

Watch this kid force his way onto the fiels, explosive, strong, smart player!

67.Cleveland Harold Fannin TE BGreen B

Very interesting player just would have liked to see him against better competition.

68.Las Vegas Darien Porter DB Iowa St C-

Reaching early for this player, not sure where he plays, built for FS, Raiders not likely smart enough to figure that out.

69.New England Kyle Williams WR Wash St F

I'm just not sold on this guy, he had a few huge games against very bad teams,

70.Detroit Isaac Teslaa WR Ark F

Combine guy who never really produced with any consistency.

71.New Orleans Veron Broughton DT Texas D

Big time recruit who never showed any consistency.

72.Buffalo Landon Jackson DE Ark A+

One of the better picks in the round, he will force his way onto the field.

73.NY Jets Azareye'h Thomas CB Fla S A-

He will be a starter by mid-season, and that's what you are after.

74.Denver Pat Bryant WR Illinois F

I'm just not feeling this, late round developmental guy, not sure what they see, nice size, average athlete

75.SF 49ers Nick Martin LB Okl St F

WILDLY better options on the board that could actually help this team THIS season!

76.Dallas Shavon Revel CB ECar A+

In the running for TOP PICK IN THE DRAFT!! Once healthy. he will start, he will be an ALL PRO!!

77.Carolina Princely Umanmielen DE Fla B

Should develop into a rotational player this season.

78.Arizona Jordan Burch DE Ore A+

Look for him to come in and force his way into the starting line-up EARLY!!

79.Houston Jaylin Noel WR Iowa St B

Should see the field in the slot day one, could have goy him later though.

80.Indianapolis Justin Walley CB Minn F

Developmental player has some upside but two years away from production at best.

81.Cincinnati Dylan Fairchild G Geo F

Late round one-dimensional player wasted pick!

82.Tennessee Kevin Winston SS Penn St A+

Best pick of the Titans draft, he will sart day one and stay there for years.

83.Pittsburgh Kaleb Johnson RB Iowa A+

SLEEPER ALERT: OUTSTANDING scheme fit! Excels on exactly what the Steelers do.

84.Tampa Bay Jacob Parrish CB Kan St D

Reach here, much better options on board, slot CB player, period

85.KC Chiefs Nohl Williams DB Cal B

Shows some versatility, solid CB, could easily move to Safety and excel there.

86.LA Chargers Jamaree Caldwell NT Ore D

I see him at NT only, noy very athletic, limited moves, just way early, he would have been here in 5th at least.

87.Green Bay Savion Williams WR TCU D

Looks the part for sure, very limited downfield ability is my major concern.

88.Jacksonville Caleb Ransaw DB Tula F

Major reach here, I have no idea what they see, at best a special teamer with limited developmental potential.

89.Jacksonville Wyatt Millum OL W Vir A+

He will start this season somewhere on OL, even the Jags get one right once in a while.

90.LA Rams Josaiah Stewart OLB Mich A

An interesting prospect, very explosive. In the right defense he has all the tools to be a star!

91.Baltimore Emery Jones RT LSU A

This guy can play RT or guard in this offense, nice fit for what the like to do.

92.Seattle Jalen Milroe QB Ala A+

My #1 QB. HE NEEDS TO SIT THIS SEASON and fucking learn!! Wild upside but painfully raw and inconsistent, showed glimpses of rare ability that few have, great arm, best athlete in QB class

93.New Orleans Jonas Sanker SS Vir A

Rock solid in all aspects, he will be on the fields early.

94.Cleveland Dillion Gabriel QB Ore F

Little guy with big arm, tough and gritty but limited athletically, apparently the Browns missed his weather comments. Reality is, #1 SIZE does matter, #2 it gets cold in the north and they play in it, and this was a rather confusing pick with the team need for OL/WR! Far better fits on board.

95.New England Jared Wilson C Geo B

He should find his way onto the firld somewhere inside this season, best at Center.

96.Atlanta Xavier Watts FS NDame A

SLEEPER ALERT: Don't be surprised if he's starting by mid-season, rock solid all-around game, nice athlete.

97.Houston Jaylin Smith CB USC A

I see him in the slot CB position, he can move outside, but may struggle with bigger WR's

98.Las Vegas Caleb Rogers OT Tx Tech F

Late round developmental player, athletic but raw and inconsistent.

99.Las Vegas Charles Grant OL W & M D

Small scholl developmental player with intriging upside, I may have to eat this one!

100.SF 49ers Upton Stout CB W Ky F

Undersized SLOT ONLY CB! Later round player with limited upside.

101.Denver Savion Jones DE LSU A+

Excellent scheme fit, he will be on the field this season sooner rather than later.

102.Minnesota Tai Felton WR Md F

Another late round developmental player, limited upside.

103.Tennessee Chimere Dike WR Fla D-

Major reach here for a testing warrior, it will fail.

104.Jacksonville Bhayshul Tuten RB VaTch A+

I love this guy, fast, versatile, nice receiver, KR ability, he will find the field often this season!

105.NY Giants Cam Skattabo RB AzSt A-

I'm in this guy's camp. Tough, strong, versatile runner, average receiver, needs work in protection. Think of a smaller Peyton Hillis.

106.New England Craig Woodson SS Cal A

Experienced, tough player, can fill in at CB, will be a Special Teams star.

107.Jacksonville Jack Kiser LB N Dame A+

SLEEPER ALERT!!! Numerous teams will regret passing on this guy! Look for him to be starting this season.

108.Las Vegas Donte Thornton WR Tenn A-

Long and fast for sure, VERY raw still, limited route tree but potential is there, patience needed.

109.Buffalo Deone Walker NT Ky A+

Great scheme fit, he will clog up the line for sure.

110.NY Jets Arian Smith WR Geo D-

MAJOR reach here, tests very well, just can't catch the damn ball.

111.Philadelphia Ty Robinson DE Neb B

Nice fit for what the eagles do, rotational piece.

112.New Orleans Danny Stutzman LB Okl A+

He will be starting this season.

113.SF 49er's CJ West DT Ind A

Quick. powerful and still developing, nice pick.

114.Carolina Trevor Etienne RB Geo A

Should be able to be a rotational back this season.

115.Arizona Cody Simon LB Ohio St A+

Another player who can start this season. High character!

116.Houston Woody Marks RB USC A

He will become a solid rotational all-purpose RB.

117.LA Rams Jarquez Hunter RB Aub D

Not a bad player, just limited in pass game, strong runner, just to early here.

118.Atlanta Billy Bowman FS Okl A+

Tough ass undersized DB, can fill in at Slot, will be a Special Teams demon.

119.Cincinnati Barrett Carter LB Clem A+

I can't understand how he fell this far; others will lament that fact after this season.

120.Tennessee Gunner Helm TE Tex A+

Another guy who should have already been off the board.

121.Tampa Bay David Walker DE C Ark F

I'm no big on small school guys, nice raw ability, just WAY to early!

122.Carolina Lathan Ransom SS Ohio St A+

Wild ass steal here! He will be on the field this season.

123.Pittsburgh Jack Sawyer DE Ohio St A+

It may take a year to learn this defense as he will move to OLB, it will turn out great.

124.Green Bay Barryn Sorrell DL Tex D

A couple rounds to early, limited upside.

125.LA Chargers Kyle Kennard DE S Car A-

Should become a dependable rotational player.

126.Cleveland Dylan Sampson RB Tenn D

I don't understand this pick, they took a far bigger, better and more NFL prepared version earlier.

127.Indianapolis Jalen Travis OT Iowa St D

Has some upside, but developmental guys go two round later

128.Washington Jaylin Lane WR Va Tch A+

Another pick I LOVE, great slot potential, solid KR as well, great value here.

129.Baltimore Teddye Buchanan LB Cal A

Should become a solid rotational player and Special Teamer

130.NY Jets Malachi Moore FS Ala A+

Victim of last season's changes in scheme, talented, versatile player

131.New Orleans Quincy Riley CB Louis A+

1ST ROUND TALENT! Tremendous value here.

132.Chicago Ruben Hypolite LB Md D-

WILDLY better options on board.

133.Kansas City Jalen Royals WR Utah St A+

Look for him to have solid production year one.

134.Denver Que Robinson LB Ala A+

Great value here, pass rush skills there, needs work elsewhere.

135.Las Vegas Tonka Hemingway DT S Car A

He will be in the rotation this season.

136.Tennessee Elic Ayomanor WR Stan A

Nice upside, should have stayed in school

137.New England Joshua Farmer DT Fla St A+

Not sure how he slipped this far, solid in all phases.

138.SF 49er's Jordan Watkins WR Miss F

I have no idea what they are seeing, wasted pick.

140.Carolina Cam Jackson DT Fla F

Major reach for a player I see as a marginal NT prospect.

141.Baltimore Carson Vinson OL AlaA&M F

The Ravens rarely eff up in the draft, this will be one.

145.Philadelphia Rylie Mills DL NDame B-

Has a nice skill set for this defense.

143.Miami Jordan Phillips NT Md F

WASTED PICK!! HTF do you draft a DL with 0.0 sacks???

144.Cleveland Shedure Sanders QB Col A

After all the hype he finally falls to an offense where he has a chance to succeed. I had him as a 4th round talent, remember that. Added plus, his fall might actually get his father to STFU!!!

145.Philadelphia Mac McWilliams CB UCF F

Major reach for a marginal slot CB.

146.New England Bradyn Swinson DE LSU A+

Nice scheme fit, great value here, rock solid pick!

147.SF 49er's Jordan James RB Ore F

Far better options available, not understanding this pick.

148.LA Rams Ty Hamilton DT Ohio St A

Nice developmental rotational player

149.Dallas Jaydon Blue RB Tex A+

Another guy who should have stayed in school. Of course, remember, he quit on his High School team as well. Sad, he has talent, just 0.0 patience!

150.Miami Jason Marshall CB Fla F

Far too early for this player, marginal NFL prospect to me.

151.Indianapolis DJ Giddens RB Kan St A+

Nice but not great all-around game should be a helpful player.

152.Dallas Shemar James LB Fla A+

I had him rated much higher, great athlete, even Jerra gets one right now and then.

153.Cincinnati Jalen Rivers OL Mia(F) D

Developmental prospect, too early here.

154.NY Giants Marcus Mbow OL Pur A

He could surprise, victim of poor CFB team.

155.Miami Dante Trader FS Md F

I just don't see what they were thinking here. Marginal prospect.

156.Kansas City Jeffry Bassa LB Ore A+

Nice fit on numerous levels, scheme, strengths, should take to special teams well.

157.Tampa Bay Elijah Roberts DT SMU F

Reach here for a player who would have been on board in 7th.

158.LA Chargers K Lambert-Smith WR Aub A

Nice value here, solid slot WR potential.

159.Geen Bay Colin Oliver LB Okl St F

Just way to early for incomplete player.

160.SF 49er's Marquez Sigle FS Kan St F

Another player who would have been there in the 7th.

161.Philadelphia Smael Mondon LB Geo A

Very nice upside and potential, nice athlete.

162.NY Jets Francisco Mauigoa LB Mia(F) F

Far better option on board.

163.Carolina Mitchell Evans TE NDame B

Solid all-around TE, good but will never be great.

164.Pittsburgh Yahya Black NT Iowa B+

Major points for scheme fit, just a round too early.

165.LA Chargers Orande Gadson TE Syrac A

Solid pass catcher, former WR recruit weak in other phases

166.Seattle Tory Horton WR Col St A+

Will be under consideration for the top pick in the draft list.

167.Tennessee Jackson Slater OL Sac St F

Small school guy who needed far better competition to get picked this high.

168.Philadelphia Drew Kendall C Bost C B

Very nice player, just better Center options available.

169.Chicago Zah Frazier DB UTSA A+

If they are smart enough to move him to FS this will be a MONSTER steal.

170.Buffalo Jordan Hancock CB Ohio St B

Should have gone back to school, needs work in several areas.

171.Detroit Miles Frazier G LSU A+

Don't be surprised if he forces his way onto the field this season.

172.LA Rams Chris Paul LB Miss A+

Another underrated player, Special Teams demon a the least.

173.Buffalo Jackson Hawes TE Geo Tch F

One dimensional due to the offense in college, nice athlete but very raw in pass game.

174.Arizona Denzel Burke CB Ohio St A

If he can find some consistency, he can have a nice career, if not, it will be a short one.

175.Seattle Robbie Ouzts TE Ala F

I get the two-back thing, but he would have been on board in the 7th.

176.NY Jets Tyler Barron DE Mia(F) F

Raw, inconsistent, questionable motor.

Victim of his team's poor effort this season, better than that.

180.Las Vegas JJ Pegues DT Miss St A+

Solid, versatile, can play 3 tech or NT.

181.Philadelphia Kyle McCord QB Syrac A+

Has the tools to be a starter, does he have the head. Questionable under pressure. Should develop into a solid QB2.

182.New England Andre Borrgalas K Mia(F) C-

I must question a Florida only kicker moving to the northeast, talent not the issue.

183.Tennessee Marcus Harris DB Cal A

Solid, versatile, should excel on Special teams.

OFFENSIVE Backfield Positions

2025 QUARTERBACK OVERVIEW

Another draft, another year of so called "expert" wildly overrating QB's. This season was difficult as no player clearly took the position. I decided to go with the player who does clearly have the most upside, Milroe. That said, HE NEEDS TIME AND WORK!! Likely the entire year and complete patience from his team. From there, you have a player, Ward who's likely topped out and projects to be a middle of the pack QB, not worthy of the #1 overall pick. Sanders will get drafted wildly higher than my 4th round grade, good luck. While he does have a very solid short/mid game the lack of arm strength, mobility, pocket presence and dealing with his meddling father will drive some GM crazy before he is fired! He will never ascend higher than somewhere around the 20th rated QB, maybe. Howard, McCord, Dart and Shough will have a chance depending on who drafts them but at the least they should be quality back-ups. I like Howard and McCord the best though Shough has interesting upside, Dart comes from an offense that does not translate well to the NFL game, If Ewers actually turned down $8 million to stay in school, well he will rue that decision, Leonard will stick around as a back-up for some years. Gabriel has a big arm and is a gritty performer but his size and comments about weather are major concerns for myself. As for the late rounders, I kept waiting for Jefferson to figure out how good he could be, but that didn't happen, nothing else but QB3's or practice bodies after him.

2025 RUNNING BACK OVERVIEW.

Solid overall class, numerous player that will contribute can be had throughout the draft. Most will like Jeanty better, but I question his build and more so, the level of competition. Hampton didn't get the press but was very impressive if you watched him play, Judkins is a slasher and great in pass protection and overall blocking as well as gaining tough yards with his deceptive strength. Johnson, Sanders are big power backs with speed, Neal a solid all around back and Skatteboo will have to run through or over much bigger, better players to have the same success. Giddings should be a solid rotational back, and Gordon ran wild in '23/24 but struggled this season on a poor team and he provides little else, who is he? As for late rounders you have some situational power backs, and I think Johnson and Monangai could surprise if the land with the right team.

2025 ALL PURPOSE BACK OVERVIEW

Henderson is the clear top back this season, best blocker of ALL the RB's. He is an absolute beast on blitz pick-ups! His size and build are why he is here. After him Marks really excels as a receiver and well coached, Harvey more as a runner who could develop into a great RB2, Tuten is very versatile as he is also an excellent KR. Etienne had excellent moments as a runner and Smith exceled in his 1st season as an RB after being a WR. Blue is very explosive but should have gone back to school, of course he quit on his HS team after he got offered by UT so to me, character is a question. After that, everyone has some type of glaring hole in their game. It's pick your poison, some undersized, some lacking in pass game, some a step slow, Hunter is one who could surprise in the right scheme.

RECEIVERS

2025 OUTSIDE RECIEVER OVERVIEW:

It's a rare player who was never really the #1 at his college but is still atop this list but my confidence is HIGH in Egbuka. He is well coached, run precise routes, great hands, enough speed and his character is OFF THE CHARTS! Harris is another in the long line of Ole Miss WR's, Higgins is among the most physical players and McMillian, most others #1 has some glaring holes to me, he often struggled to get separation on CFB so how's that going to work in the NFL? That said, he will still be a solid receiver. Horton and Royals are lesser-known small conference studs who will surprise. After that a run of big bodies, (Ayomoyer, Felton, Thornton, Neylor, Williams, Armstrong) all with various strengths and weaknesses, likely someone from this group will land in the right spot and have a nice career. Then you get into former lofty recruits who didn't pan out, (McCoy, Prather, Wease, Collins) some others who had consistency problems (Dike, Sheppard, Felton) small conference players, and players who were cursed with inconsistent QB play, there is likely a diamond in there somewhere, who will find that gem.

2025 SLOT RECIEVER OVERVIEW

I see Burden here, nobody else does, we'll see, I'm confident. He has excellent hands, great quickness and great functional strength. As I've often said, I give post-season, All-Star games, Combine, Pro days the respect they deserve, FUCKING NONE!!!! So Restrepo is next, I love his game, quick, tough, gritty, smart! Then we have players with holes but with certain strengths that could make them a career. Lane is shifty, quick and excels with the ball in his hands, Bech has the best hands of this group, and runs nice routes, Noel is tough as nails, Golden is MUCH higher rated by others, I'm not on that bus, He will not ascend higher than WR4 in my eyes, Johnson while small in stature, plays bigger, Williams was a victim of subpar QB play and could surprise. Then we run into guys who will have to contribute elsewhere to hold onto their jobs. Wester, Brown, Bolden all have nice KR ability. I see Williams, Bond and Horn as overrated by others and will need to contribute on Special Teams to survive long.

For the second straight hear an elite talent resides at this position. I actually believe Warren has more upside than Bowers last season due to his ability to block at an elite level. I see this guy as potentially the top player in this draft. Loveland in most years would be the #1 TE. An excellent player just not the athlete Warren is, still a potential ALL-Pro at some point. On the next three it just depends on what quality you are looking for. Ferguson is the most athletic, Helms the best receiver, Taylor best all-around. Fannin is a wild-card who needs the right fit, he can be a star and a match-up nightmare. Numerous players with specific skills fill the rest of my board with many having starting caliber ability, top receivers, Gadson, Bringingstool, Kuithe, and all-around types, Arroyo, Matavau, Conyers, Evans, this an EXCELLENT class this season.

OFFENSIVE/DEFENSIVE LINE

2025 LEFT TACKLE OVERVIEW

No real complete LT's available this season. Campbell has that ability but is not consistent enough to warrant the Top 10, Simmons, my other 1st rounder is coming of a serious knee injury and may not be at 100% next season but is very athletic and just starting to realize how good he could be. A couple players most will have in the 1st round, Banks, Membou can get paid well and have a career here but in my opinion, they are Guards, and I ranked them there. I said the exact same thing about Jedrick Wills several years ago, I was right, as I will be this year. After the top 2 everyone has some holes, some see Millum at Guard, Conerly has consistency issues, Nelson is full of unrealized potential, Brown has shown flashes, Richman is underrated and very well coached. After that they are all projects and likely Back-ups or swing OL. Lundt and Grant are interesting small school prospects who with patience could surprise.

2025 RIGHT TACKLE OVERVIEW

A decent class of pure RT's. The top 2 Ersery, Belton definitely have long term starter potential, but NOT at LT where some idiot GM will try to stuff them. After that Jones and Corneilius both have starter ability but need some work, Truss and Trapillo need more work and are less athletic. Out of the remaining players, Pierce, Kight and Travis show the highest "sleeper" potential, both athletic, long and strong. The rest will have to work their way up from the bench.

2025 GUARD OVERVIEW

This class has the potential to be the best Guard class in many years. The question is, will NFL execs be smart enough to realize that Banks and Membou have the talent to be ALL-PRO guards or do they want to force them to be average/decent OT's. History is not on these player's side. Without those two in the Class grade drops to a B. Jackson, a multi-year starter has been consistent, very athletic, great size and strength and unselfishly played most of this past season at LT due to injury and was excellent there, Still Guard is his home. After that, I see at least 6 players who can be NFL starters sooner rather than later. Booker and Savaiinaea have all the tools, Gray could move inside to Center, Frazier is well coached, Williams is another OT that needs to move inside, Ratledge and Dellinger need some work. Then we have an interesting small school stud (Zabel) and several players who could develop into starters, Huber, Colby, Conner are potential "sleepers"

2025 CENTER OVERVIEW

Depending on where they land my top 3 can all be 1st year starters, Monheim is the clear #1, McLaughlin will be hindered by injury rehab and may well slip and few rounds, Mays is a multi-year starter. After them, all of the rest will have to play wherever inside to get on the field, Kendall, Majors, Wilson and Cox all have starter ability but need work. And I just have a hunch that Lampkin may end up as a FB in Pittsburgh!

2025 4-3 DEFENSIVE END OVERVIEW

Another LOADED position! Two top 10's, four 1st rounders and my top 13 all have a chance to start in the right scheme. Carter is elite! Ignore the smoke screen BS! Williams, actually may have more upside, he just needs to realize how good he can be on EVERY down! The next four all depend on scheme, Pierce, pure rush end, Scourton, all-around game, Sawyer the best run defender and shows flashes as a rush end (see playoffs) the I have Gillotte who I feel is wildly underrated by others. Mike Green was a sack machine last season and Ezeiruaku has some nice upside. Oladejo, Baron, Weaver and BJ Green classify as sleepers in my world, that said, all have shown flashes and are worth a serious look.

2025 3-4 DEFENSIVE END OVERVIEW

Another group that is VERY LOADED this season. Seriously, if you ar a GM and your team is in need DL on the outside regardless of scheme and you cannot find help in this year, find another profession! I like Burch at the top of this group, Tuimolaou has tremendous upside and can play in any scheme. Harmon and Jones have ability to excel against the run, Ingram-Dawkins should have gone back to school, Jackson and Ivey have had moments but lack consistency. Sanders, Harrison-Hunte and Ritzie have shown ability to get to the QB. Robinson, Mills, Downs and Batty are intriguing late round sleepers who in the right scheme could surprise!

2025 DEFENSIVE TACKLE OVERVIEW

Of course, I've read all the others but as you can see, I DON'T AGREE! Like the others Graham is still my #1 but MUCH later than where they believe he projects. Taking a DT in the top half of the 1st round is a waste of resources. Williams could excel here or at the Nose but his crazy athleticism for his size puts him here for me. After those two who I see things different we get to Peebles, undersized but has a unique skillset, scheme will be vital. The next 5/8 can all find success in the right scheme or bounce around the league for 5/7 years as most DT's do. Using a pick higher than round three on this type of player is foolish. Nolen, West, Turner, Alexander, Broughton likely to be the best bets. After that, roll players who likely will be on different team every season for a few tears then be gone. Former lofty recruits Smith and Page have shown flashes but never put it together consistently.

2025 NOSE TACKLE OVERVIEW

I see no elite players in this group and frankly most of these players need to play here and will show little potential elsewhere. Walker is massive and a decent athlete, I like Biggers better than most, he was miss used and a victim of little around him. After that a team must determine what they want, plodding space eaters like Collins, Grant, Caldwell, Black or some limited athleticism with Collins, Pegues, Stackhouse. I must mention Watson, why no coach has put the effort into getting his weight down is unsettling, he needs to lose 100lbs. at least, and he could really be effective, now just a novelty! Sorry, it's the truth.

LINEBACKERS

2025 4-3 MIDDLE LINEBACKER OVERVIEW:

Not a strong year for this position. The proliferation of hybrid defenses in college ball has left this position in flux for the present time. That said, I like Higgins best here, not the biggest but a nice athlete and very well coached and experienced. Knight is very athletic and has prototype size, Stutsman is tough, solid and has nice size, Schwesinger is a wild athlete but that never was evident on the field with any consistency. King and Buchanan are solid and should help on Special teams. After that, we have roll players who will need to find the special team's coach to keep a job. Dolec is one who could surprise.

Another position lacking in top end talent. The top 3 all could have nice careers, Dumas-Johnson has great size, nice athletic ability and has shown potential to outplay this projection. James is very athletic one who has the versatility to play other spots and Bassa is the best coached and experienced. After that you're looking at special teamers and bench fillers.

After that I see Kizer as the next, nice size, very well coached, better athlete than most think. After that we get into the "who fits your scheme bet" group. Simon, Paul, Asante and Mondon can fit in other spots and should be special teams' demons where Reid and Jackson are more limited. After that, short term roster fillers and special teamers.

2025 3-4 OUTSIDE LINEBACKER OVERVIEW:

This position is rather top heavy but is filled with sleepers who in the right scheme could explode. Walker and Campbell have ALL-PRO potential plain and simple! Both have great size, wild athleticism and are well coached, pick one you like, and it's plug and play! Stewart is less polished from playing DE in college, he may be one dimensional at 1st but the upside and ability is there, Walker and Robinson are longer but less consistent rushers, Powell has been playing out of position inside due to need, his length and ability lend themselves to him exceling here, the question is, are any NFL GM's or Coaches smart enough to see that, history says doubtful but I hold out hope. He's a 7th rounder/UDFA to me on the inside. After that I'm seeing 3rd down rush specialists who will need to excel on special teams to have a decent career, Jenkins had 23.5 career sacks, Moore did not produce as hoped last season but still has 27.5 sacks in the past three seasons, Mott showed some promise with 8.5 sacks last season, Harvey has sowed some rush ability, this group includes one-time #1 overall recruit Foreman.

DEFENSIVE BACKS/SPECIAL TEAMS

2025 OUTSIDE CORNERBACK OVERVIEW:

Well, here is another spot where I'm not on the hype train like others. I've been watching Revel for some time, so I've seen him play, he has is all, elite length, great strength, speed, solid technique and has no fear of tackling. The only negative is he is coming off injury. Next, I like Barron, very well built, great speed and quickness and fierce in run support. Now we get to Hunter, his obsession with playing two positions costs him major, a decent WR but he would be the clear #1 here and possibly overall had he just concentrated his effort at CB! If he does, he's likely Canton bound. if not, well, we'll see, I may have to eat this one! Now the rest. Hairston is very versatile, able to easily more in the slot if needed, solid in run support, lack of great length is a problem, Amos played top competition not only in games but practice, Johnson has great length and talent but major character questions to me after this past season when his injury really dragged on and felt like he was just checked out after his team's season was not what he wanted, yep, I'll say out loud what many think already! Now we get into players who will have to play special teams as well as fill in as back-ups. Thomas, Morrison and Alexander have the best potential out of this pack, and with Porter and Williams a move to FS might be in order. Then we get in a group that will HAVE TO be core special teamers to make teams, out of that bunch, Burke, Dotson, Strong, Kone, and Vaughn have the most upside, excellent tools and versatility to surprise.

2025 SLOT CORNERBACK OVERVIEW:

1st, Since I created rating, this position FIVE FUCKING YEARS AGO, I've seen most other sites start!!! Now to this season, Riley is a clear #1 here and he has the ability to play outside and be effective but best here, tough, quicker than fast, solid in run support, 34 PD's and 15 INT's over the past 5 seasons! Mohammad while undersized is lightning quick, fearless and has 35 PD's the last three seasons. The next group brings different skills, Bryant has nice length for the inside, could play outside if needed, Smith excels in run support, Simmons has excellent size, can play outside and has plus ball skills, Huzzie who I rank higher than others and has 27 PD's and 10 INT's the past three seasons. Then we get into players who will need to be core special teamers while the work at their game as back-ups, Longerbeam, Stout, James and Purchase have interesting skill sets that may develop past these rankings and deserve a long look. The others are topped out where they are rated.

2025 STRONG SAFETY POSITION OVERVIEW

While not the strongest class this year if some of the late round projects blossom it could improve, quickly! At the top we have yet another Penn St player. Winston has prototype size, plus speed, quickness, athleticism and is a vicious and sure tackler who looked to be on his way to huge season before an ACL injury. He will need to improve in coverage and advanced schemes. Ransom may even be more ready to start, great speed, quickness, strong, sure tackler, rock solid in coverage and experienced, having played countless high-level games. Next, we have Wohler, strong in run game but RB's and more athletic TE's will give him fits, Sanker is a hard-hitting tackle machine with 15 PD's and four FF in the past two seasons, Woodson is versatile enough to play either Safety position. In the next group Wright has LB size and may need to move there, I like Burns better than most, if he figures out how to use his athleticism he will explode, same with Paige, he's had flashes, but consistency has avoided him. After that Singleton has prototype size but needs some work in coverage, Hook is undersized but fearless and very active, he had over 350 career tackles, Verdon has crazy measurables and has got better every season. The rest will need to be special teams' demons to keep a job as a back-up

2025 FREE SAFETY POSITION OVERVIEW

Excellent class!! One of the top free safety classes in recent memory! At the top Emmanwori, each of the past two seasons he has improved dramatically, with his combo of size and ridiculous athleticism the sky is the limit for him, no weaknesses, just places to keep getting better! In most years Starks would be an easy #1 here, good size, big hitter great speed and instincts, excellent in coverage. Then with Castro, Mukuba and Bowman it's pick your best fit, all have similar skills, Castro is disciplined in run game, well coached, consistent, Mukuba has 5 INT's last season and could play CB, Bowman has 11 career INT's and is strong in coverage. Watts had 6 INT's and 9PD's this past season and Moore became a force in the run game. Next I have Hill and Frazier, Adams who you will find on others lists at CB, this is where they would be best served, are NFL people smart enough to see this, well, I doubt it but I'll leave it here. Jackson and Brooks will need to be open to Special teams. Then we get into projects who will need to embrace Special Teams to make a team. Former CB's, small school studs, and players with holes in their game, take your pick. The UCLA duo of Kirkwood and Addison have major potential but played out of position in college
