| Jerry Jeudy – WR – Alabama. Explosive athlete who is a genuine deep threat. Looks a bit leggy frame wise, but he can still change direction, including some highly effective double moves. Catches the ball away from his body. Despite being a little thin, he’s a willing blocker. Grant Delpit – S – LSU. Tall, thin safety who can also cover effectively man-to-man. Reads the quarterback really well and makes plays on the ball. Aggressive against the run, a little too much so at times, but should be better with another year of experience. Tua Tagovailoa – QB – Alabama. 6’0& #8243; QB, but has 10 1/8& #8243; hands. Athletic, but will run to pass. Really good with his eyes and can throw with touch, timing and anticipation. If he improves his deep ball accuracy in 2019, I might make him elite. Durability is the main concern. Derrick Brown – DL – Auburn. Surprised many by deciding to return, but was inconsistent in 2018. He has the ability to kick it into an extra gear and dominate games with power. Isaiah Simmons – LB – Clemson. Former safety who will be in his second year at LB in 2019. Has long arms and is starting to use them to help him get off blocks. Looks outstanding in coverage, moves well enough to stay with some WR’s and certainly TE’s. Uses his long arms to knock the ball out without making early contact. Fits the modern trend of tall LB’s who can cover. Jeffrey Okudah – CB – Ohio State. Tall corner with long arms that are his get out of jail card. Also has an impressive recovery burst. Just as comfortable “clicking and closing” as he is in man, although he just has to watch the odd time where he gets overly “grabby”. The only negative is lack of INT’s, but he does get his head around to find the ball, so I suspect they will come in 2019. CeeDee Lamb – WR – Oklahoma. Has excellent body control, can stop on a dime to create separation. Looks to win inside, which puts him in control. Can have a slow/choppy release off the line, but that can be corrected. Looks athletic and smooth after the catch. Travon Diggs – CB – Alabama. Tall corner with long arms and uses them to his advantage. Can turn and run in man, and then get his head around to find the ball. There’s a little tightness in the hips, but that’s often the case with taller corners. May be viewed as a single high by some teams. Javon Kinlaw – DL – South Carolina. Tall man who can two gap, but can also rush the passer. Has heavy hands and will use a nice swim move after he jolts his man on his heels. Balance is a question mark. Jabari Zuniga – ER/DL – Florida. Often played inside in 2018, but may benefit from playing more often on the edge in place of Polite. I actually had him ahead of Polite on my in-season board. Chase Young – ER – Ohio State. He’s a little difficult to get a handle on. Explosion off the snap isn’t there at times, but in flashes it is. Smooth athlete. Uses his hands initially, but if he can’t slide off his man, he has no counter. Has length and power. |
2. A starting RT - we don't know how Remmers will do. And even if he does well, he's a UFA at the end of the year. Luckily, the 2020 class is pretty deep in OTs.
3. An EDGE - Alabama has a few guys that will make some noise. Ohio State has a stud in Chase Young. If he can stay on the field, K'Lavon Chaisson will be a beast for LSU.
4. An ILB - Dylan Moses is the next great Alabama ILB, but his runningmate Anfernee Jennings is good in his own right. Paddy Fisher of Northwestern is ultra productive and well-rounded.

Might as well add a true CF at FS for #5.
A long term answer at OC could be “honorable mention” as well.
Anyone who spends any time covering/watching FSU would list those two above Levonta Taylor, although he's poised for a bit of a bounce back year.. Cam Akers' season and perception will come down to whether the offensive line can get in the way of anyone this year and allow him to showcase his enormous talent.
OC
RT & LT (Don't expect Remmers or Solder to last more than 1 or 2 more seasons after this)
WR
FS
ER (at least 1, maybe 2 depending on Carter & Ximines)
LB (at least 2)
CB (# is dependent on how the ones we have develop, this might be Jenkins' last year)
More depth everywhere!

Anak - I can see Gettleman at least try to make a trade to move up if he loves one of those guys. Seems to be the most aggressive GM we have had in a long time?
I noticed that. I didn't see Fromm mentioned either unless I'm missing him.
He will be a total wrecking crew this year if he stays healthy
Lamb
Shenault
I'll take any of the 3 but prefer them in that order. Almost wanted to out Lamb on top.

1. A true #1 WR WITH SIZE - Jerry Jeudy is fantastic, but he's going to go in the top-10. Collin Johnson of Texas, and Tee Higgins of Clemson are excellent options. Higgins is the next big Clemson WR (though Justyn Ross is a star and will be a high first rounder in 2021). Laviska Shenault Jr. of Colorado is an absolute weapon, as is CeeDee Lamb of Oklahoma. I'm very interested in seeing both Michael Pittman Jr. of USC and Chase Claypool of Notre Dame. A sleeper may be this kid from Liberty, who Draft Twitter seems to love.

I thought about FS, but I'm a big fan of Julian Love
Very interesting. He was awesome last year against Nebraska (I think it was Nebraska). I love his size, the way he catches the ball and moves after the catch. He looks like a taller Sterling Sharpe.

Whoops ...looking again he's listed as borderline top 100. Doesn't seem to like him much.

Agree but I think getting Jones an absolute stud/difference maker next spring at WR might even trump a top edge guy. Especially if Jones’ progress in 2020 (and team success) may dictate Shurmur’s future with the club.
I think you might get your wish. I saw another list with a possible 6-7 1st round OT's.

It's pretty encouraging to see this small of a list, for a change. Wish list, I would add depth at Center and probably continued investment in the DB's with Jenkins/Bethea getting up there in age,
It's all context and perspective, DJ8 is making them look bad! And narrative, yargh 2019 QBs sucks, 2020 so gud. Can't really say anyone is clearly a better prospect than DJ8.
I think the 2020 class has been getting far too much hype. I say that as a Giants fan that has had to go through two consecutive(actually 3 consecutive classes as there was rumors about Mahomes going back to McAdoo) reading, and watching quarterback prospects.
I'm not saying their aren't good prospects, but there were fans acting as though it was a Luck/RG3 type bonanza up top and I don't see that at all. All those guys have flaws as well and those flaws start to come to light right when the NFL starts really digging in on them come March. Watching Tua after watching so much of Jones really brings a different perspective. If there are fans that thought Haskins benefitted greatly from his supporting cast at Ohio State I don't see how the same exact stance can't be applied to Tua and then some. Watch his highlights and you see WRs open by 5 yards or more on multiple throws and then doing amazing things with the ball after the catch, not to mention the pass protection he is benefitting from.

edge is going to be way up there.

It comes down to value per prospect, but I'd go edge over WR. I think DG will approach it similarly, as well as the cap hit down the road when the second contract comes due.

He has Fromm as a borderline top 100 prospect. First I have heard of him being considered that poorly. He has the guy just out side of day 3.
Just had the same reaction. The LB for Utah State, Woodward, is on the list, but no Love.
Very, very strange...
That kid has skills.
Rarely???
Remind me - are these players living up to the hype? Or at least very good pros? Julio Jones, Ridley, Hightower, Mosley, Jonathan Allen, Eddie Jackson, Ingram, Henry, Cinton-Dix, Collins, Drake, OJ Howard, Rashan Evans, etc, etc.
It's a helluva list...
There is too much consensus amongst the media "exoerts" because they all copy off each other.
You really have to be a dope to think Haskins would go top 10.
ER/DE or OT
if not
go CB or WR

I think we've seen enough to know that QBs are almost always graded on a curve. A QB that's borderline top 100 is not just outside of day 3 in the same way as any other position; a top 100 QB is probably a 2nd rounder at worst (and Fromm is almost certainly a 1st round QB even if Emery feels that he's overvalued as such).

I think it was way overblown this pst offseason, there’s major flags with all these guys. Tua needs to play a full season otherwise I don’t see how anyone can invest a top 5 pick in him. Fromm I like a lot but I have read here and there about some thinking his game doesn’t have too much room for growth. Who knows.

Wouldn't that apply to Trevor Lawrence as well?

Yes it would, Clemson offensive line played fantastic vs Notre Dame and Bama, and it’s worth noting that Lawrence really came alive when Love exited the game and Clemson went after his replacement. Again I’m not saying it means they aren’t great players but the supporting cast and examples how much adversity they had to face needs to be factored in somehow.
I think we're going undefeated every single season
