You may see a lack of quarterbacks on this board and say, ‘Hey wait, everybody at ESPN and Bleacher Report ranks a bunch of quarterbacks in their top 20.’ You won’t get that here because here you will see the 20 best players. This year the quarterback class is deep, but it is not loaded with John Elways or even Andrew Lucks.
2) Quenton Nelson, G, Notre Dame – The best offensive guard to come out in I don’t know how long. He plays with unbelievable leverage and is violent with his hands. He is quick and traps as well as any guard you can find in the NFL now. He will be a Pro Bowler as a rookie.
6) Arden Key, DE, LSU – Incredible first step quickness! My only concern with him is that he plays a little high at times and gives up his chest, but a little bit of coaching and he could do amazing things in the NFL.
ย
7) Vita Vea, DT, Washington – Vea is a big, strong, athletic guy who plays with great leverage. He sheds blockers well and is very good playing two-gap on defense. Vea has the ability at nose tackle to not just be strong against the run, but to also be able to collapse the pocket against the pass. At times he could play a little defensive end. He is a much better prospect than Danny Shelton was a few years ago.
ย
8) Josh Jackson, CB, Iowa – Jackson has a nose for the ball and great hips, as well. With his skill set and athleticism, Jackson should be the first cornerback taken off the board.
ย
9) Calvin Ridley, WR, Alabama – Ridley is a superb route runner with the speed to pull away from defenders–he is outstanding at getting separation. At Bama this year the passing game was not very good, mainly because of the quarterback play, but Ridley should be a big game player in the NFL.
ย
10)ย Taven Bryan, DT, Florida –ย Bryan has a great initial burst and sheds blockers as well as anybody in the country. The thing that makes him special is his ability to play any position along the defensive line.
ย
11) Lamar Jackson, QB, Louisville – People are sleeping on Jackson much the way they did Deshaun Watson last year and I don’t see why. Jackson can make all the throws and his ability to throw the ball from the pocket is underrated, big time. Jackson does need to gain some weight and he has been inconsistent at times, but it would not surprise me if he becomes a very good quarterback before he is done in the NFL.
