    I fall in line with the consensus here. Aidan Hutchinsonis one of the “can’t miss” players in this year’s draft. His college production at Michigan was spectacular and he’s a very good athlete. Couple this with his relentless motor and arsenal of pass-rush moves and you have the top prospect in the class.

    I’m a really big fan of Sauce Gardner, and I think he’s a rare cornerback prospect. The Cincinnati product is long and rangy, but is also remarkably sticky in coverage and succeeds on an island. He has a chance to become a top-five cornerback at the NFL level.

    Ikem Ekwonu is my number one offensive tackle this year by a narrow margin. He’s only 6’4” but with a remarkable wingspan and outstanding strength at the point of attack. He will be a mauling run blocker and his natural athleticism should help him become a more consistent pass protector in time.

    Evan Neal has a prototype build for an offensive tackle, and it’s easy to see how his elite length and size will help him at the next level. Neal comes from a terrific football program and has Pro Bowl upside in the NFL.

    Kayvon Thibodeauxcould very well end up being the best overall player in the draft class. He is explosive off the edge with great bend and an excellent inside counter. He could become a nightmare for opposing offensive tackles in the NFL.

    Charles Cross is the best pass-protector in this draft class, but he doesn’t impose his will in the run game. Still, he’s easily one of the best overall players this year. Even at a young age, Cross has excellent tape in the SEC, and he’s an extremely good athlete at the position.

    Strictly based on his 2019 tape, Derek Stingley Jr.might be the number one overall pick in the class. He’s got elite athletic traits and ball skills and he was one of the best recruits we have ever seen at the position. Injuries got the best of him each of the past two seasons, but the upside is elite.

    I’m higher on Jordan Davis than most, but I also think he’s a generational defensive tackle prospect. You simply do not find guys with his combination of size, athletic traits, and movement skills. Davis played sparingly in college, but I think he will be better as a professional.

    I’m much higher on Trevor Penning than his average ranking on the consensus board, but what’s not to love? While Penning is a bit of a project, he’s got prototype size and athletic traits for the offensive tackle position. He also graded out as the best offensive tackle in college football in 2021 (albeit at the FCS level), according to Pro Footbal...

    Jameson Williams is my number one wide receiver in the 2022 NFL Draft. This is mainly because his elite deep speed is so rare. Williams can be more than just a deep threat, however, and the sky is the limit for his potential at the NFL level. Williams is rehabbing a torn ACL, but he should be ready early in the 2021 season.

    • Garrett Wilson, Ohio State. Previous rank: 3rd. Wilson may not have been many people’s WR1 about three months ago, but he sure is now. He was testing like an absolute animal and showing he was better with his agility than initially thought.
    • Jameson Williams, Alabama. Previous rank: 1st. Williams only got bumped down because I think Wilson is more ready to go on day one. Williams could bounce back from this knee injury with no issues.
    • Chirs Olave, Ohio State. Previous rank: 6th. This kid has pure speed and lots of it; if you remember Jaylen Waddle from last year, this would be a similar style WR.
    • Drake London, USC. Previous rank: 2nd. London is sliding down the board due to his weight issue; it was already a concern coming into the combine. He showed up at 219, and there were rumors that he showed up to his pro day 10-15lbs heavier than that.
    • EDGE Aidan Hutchinson, Michigan. The highest-graded edge defender in college football, Hutchinson has multiple ways to win with his blend of quicks and power.
    • CB Derek Stingley Jr., LSU. This ranking is banking a lot on what Stingley put on tape a long time ago, but it's not as if that talent went anywhere. He has allowed only a 41.1% completion percentage for his career and has been starting since his freshman year.
    • T Charles Cross, Mississippi State. After flashing traits in his first year as a starter in 2020, Cross became a dominant pass-protector in 2021. He allowed 44 pressures on 574 pass-blocking snaps in 2020 before giving up only 16 pressures on 719 pass-blocking snaps in 2021.
    • CB Ahmad Gardner, Cincinnati. Gardner never allowed a touchdown in his career despite starting since he was a true freshman. In 2021, he took his game to another level, surrendering only 131 yards in 14 games.
