I'll also probably add threads like sleeper picks & most likely busts soon enough but we'll start with this for now.

Predict your top 3 in order of how good you think they'll be in the NFL, by each position (can make honorable mentions of people you also really like out of the top 3 but not too many).

Can make updates later in the thread if you change your mind on anything before draft day.

This is how good you think they'll be, not when they'll get drafted.

Kevin White, Mario Alford, Quinton Spain

Kevin White ain't even a top 3 WR in this class the way I see it. (probably 4th)

The way you see it.

Which doesn't matter because you are garbage at evaluating talent & don't know any of the players

QB:
1. Marcus Mariota
2. Jameis Winston
3. Brett Hundley (tempted to put Bryce Petty 3rd but I think Hundley will be decent enough to be 3rd best)

RB:
1. Todd Gurley
2. Jay Ajayi
3. Tevin Coleman
(also like Duke Johnson if he gets in the right place)

Melvin Gordon will bust unless he goes to a team with a nasty OL. Mark my words on that.

WR:
1. DeVante Parker
2. Amari Cooper
3. Jaelen Strong (could see this guy being the star of the class a few years from now)

TE:
Meh, I just like Maxx Williams by far.

OL:
Does it really matter? But I really like D.J. Humphries especially if he ends up in Carolina. La'el Collins probably #1.

DL:
1. Leonard Williams
2. Malcom Brown
EDIT: 3. Arik Armstead
Jordan Phillips (lol)

LB (just gonna rank LB's as a whole):
1. Vic Beasley
2. Randy Gregory
3. Eli Harold / Dante Fowler Jr. (I'll admit Fowler will probably AT LEAST be here if not 1 or 2 but I just feel "bust" in him in comparison to these other 2-3)
Shaq Thompson

CB:
1. Trae Waynes
2. Marcus Peters
3. Kevin Johnson

S:
1. Landon Collins
2. Kurtis Drummond
3. Jerrod Holliman

I just don't like any of these safeties much tbh with you.

FFS, Burdur, explain to us why Fowler is going to be a bust.

I think he's one dimensional -> pass rushing, and his pass rushing is overrated anyway. His athleticism ain't gonna get him anywhere at the NFL level when IMO a lot of his skills just aren't on par as a whole.

He just is, ok?

My gut tells me so

QB: Bryce Petty, Sean Mannion, Marcus Mariota
RB: Todd Gurley, Melvin Gordon Hussain Abdullah
FB: Larry Dixon, Jalston Fowler, Zach Zenner (gotta show the fullbacks some love )
WR: Amari Cooper, Kevin White, Devante Parker
TE: Devin Funchess, Maxx Williams, Clive Walford
OL: La'El Collins, Brandon Scherff, Cameron Erving
DL: Leonard Williams, Eddie Goldman, Arik Armstead
LB: Vic Beasley, Dante Fowler Jr, Denzel Perryman
CB: Trae Waynes, Kevin Johnson, Byron Jones
SS: Landon Collins, meh, & meh

LOL What?

He's great at setting the edge, has pretty good backside pursuit, he's not even a one trick pony when rushing the passer. He turns the corner well and can slant inside with good quickness. He's going to be a solid 3-4 OLB.

Burdur just making BS up so he won't get caught ripping information off another scouting report

This dude Mexi practically copy/pasting his scouting reports tho. I know his skills, they're just overrated a lot. He was rated pretty fine then people started overrating him and now he's the #1 edge rusher to most. I don't see it when I watch his highlights or anything.

How can you make evaluations off of highlights when all they show is the player making big plays? LOL

"highlights or anything"

And you can tell regardless if you keep a good eye out on how the big plays occurred and many minor details in the plays.

You don't watch the games, so what is "anything?"

Sportscenter Top 10?

I have my ways and...

That's absurd.

^ It's how I knew Manziel would probably suck. When I was watching the A&M games I liked him and became a fan (thought he was good in college) but then just from re-watching highlights you could easily tell it was the product of weak college players & the system.

So easy to tell that couldn't convert to the NFL level.

Obviously there are two Burdurs now - one who says he sucks & the other says he's best.

You don't get shit (or much) from watching college games because it's all excitement-based and majority of trash players.

You'd have to re-watch film multiple times to really get a good idea. But who's gonna do that?... highlights work well enough in finding those things you might miss, at any position that they may play.

If even their top plays seem kinda suspect... they probably ain't good
