My TOP 10 will likely differ from many so called "experts", but some simple research will show you they have been wildly wrong far more than right for decades!
MY TOP 10 starts with Downs; He is the most complete player in this draft and a coach on the field. Bailey, Reese and Love are game changers. Then the 1st of 3 WR's, also my Top TE who moves like a WR. I have Styles a bit lower than most, he's only played LB two seasons.

My next 10 features the top TE, G, LT and RT. WR Brazzell is rated far higher than most but I'm confident in him, same with OLB Perkins.

This 10 finally has my top QB, he will need some time and work. Also, in this 10 has yet another top-flight WR but my top C, ILB Rodriguez who I have higher than others and a rare sight this high, my top NT. I'm higher on Thieneman than others but I'm confident

A couple high-potential OT's and an underrated TE and surprisingly another NT also my top rated SCB! YES I KNOW Bell with not go this high and likely will have a limited roll this season due to injury but watch him become the steal of this draft over the next few seasons.
