QUARTERBACK RANKINGS
-
Full Scouting Report
Round Value: 1-2
Player Comparison: CJ StroudQuick Report: Natural arm talent on display. Understands touch and velocity. Changes arm angle and tempo based on situation. Throws from strong base. Has patience to wait on reads, and knows to get the ball out before defenders arrive. Freestyle dropbacks, not much structure. Pats the ball and adds a hitch before throwing. Needs to clean that up. Deep ball hangs at times and ends up underthrown. Sometimes is too willing to rely on 50/50 balls.

Full Scouting Report
Round Value: 1-2
Player Comparison: Kyler MurrayQuick Report: Has a loose and calm demeanor after the snap reminiscent of Lamar Jackson. Throws from different unorthodox arm angles depending on the play. Arm is lively and can generate velocity but through more effort than others. Sidearms can lose height early. Not afraid to extend plays although gets caught drifting backwards too much. Athletic playmaker but can hold the ball too long thanks to slower pace, or look to push the ball in to trouble

Full Scouting Report
Round Value: 1-2
Player Comparison: Jalen HurtsQuick Report: A gamer, challenged continually against top competition. Whippy arm thrower, doesn't link whole body together properly in throws at times. When he steps in to throws he sometimes gets area code accuracy as he tries to drive it. Best using his plus touch, IQ and gunslinging mentality to work the short and intermediate parts of the field repeatedly. Sneaky athletic and mobile, can extend plays easily but doesn't find the big play outside the pocket as often as you’d like. Missing consistent accuracy and rhythm which he’ll need to develop for NFL system success. Very toolsy and experienced but the full picture doesn’t look right yet.

Full Scouting Report
Round Value: 3
Player Comparison: Alex SmithQuick Report: 25 years old! Tall, long, moderately-athletic Quarterback. Throws with touch and spin over power, often putting too much air under the ball on outside throws. Arm is a bit whippy, delivery could be quicker. Placement is often plus, putting the ball up and away from defenders or in to the chest of a receiver working back to the QB. Good deep ball touch. Timing can be slow, sometimes hesitates or waits to see a receiver open too long, double-checking. Will get destroyed doing this in the NFL, needs to be on rhythm and fire.
-
Full Scouting Report
Round Value: 3-4
Player Comparison: Mason RudolphQuick Report: Simple thrower - very clean and efficient motion. Arm talent is good but throws lean towards arc and touch over drive. Touch is very good, likes to drop the ball in the bucket. Rourke is big and filled out, looks NFL ready but is old for class, so that helps. Surprisingly light on his feet despite size, can shift, re-position and get some yards scrambling if need be but is by no means a twitchy athlete. Big question: Is he way too comfortable for CFB because of age experience? Or is he ascending to a viable NFL QB?
-
Full Scouting Report
Round Value: 4
Player Comparison: Drew LockQuick Report: Slingin' arm talent, throws from a sometimes unorthodox sidearm style. Can really spin it. When left clean he is a see-it-throw-it quarterback that can carve defenses. But he commits to pre-determined reads and throws in to defenders instead of coming off to safer options. Ball placement and velocity is all over the map and not always matching the situation. Somewhere straddling the line between somewhat capable starter and top-tier backup. Hot and cold player that is a bit infuriating.
-
Full Scouting Report
Round Value: 4
Player Comparison: Marc BulgerQuick Report: Stocky build. Plays with confidence, has composure and calm tempo with the ball. Holds the ball low and dips arm when beginning to throw, which he needs to clean up. Lots of trust in receivers, throws a lot of back shoulder or jump balls for receivers. Relies on touch and placement, when it’s there he has excellent timing. Throws can sometimes dip or hang and break everything apart. Feels like a retro “Field General”.
-
Round Value: 5
Player Comparison: John WolfordQuick Report: Quick and snappy thrower that drives the ball well in short/mid game. When confident he works in great tempo and delivers the ball on time. Can get sped up with adrenaline, and lose track of the plan. Arm can really spin the ball and throw deep easily. Burst in his legs, can execute designed runs with surprising juice. A still raw Quarterback prospect where the sky is the limit, if the right team and system helps him get there
-
Full Scouting Report
Round Value: 5
Player Comparison: Colt McCoyQuick Report: Functional arm, not a modern cannon but enough to get it to all levels. Deep balls have beautiful arc and air under them, natural touch. Has a calm demeanor that comes with his experience. Smaller sized QB that needs space around him to step in to when throwing. Good athlete that can pick up chunks on the ground. Tough evaluation.
-
Full Scouting Report
Round Value: 5
Player Comparison: Will LevisQuick Report: Mechanical post-snap with pre-snap reads locked in. Fixates on first target, doesn't scan and snap off quick enough. Scrambling wakes him up and he has good instincts finding the open man. Athletic scrambler, gifted mover. Not elite but plus. At his best as a vertical passer pushing the ball with touch. Operates in one of the cleanest and most talented environments. Tough evaluation.
RUNNING BACK RANKINGS
-
Round Value: 1
Player Comparison: Frank GoreQuick Report: A true natural. Sees lanes and cutbacks, feels space opening in front of him. Runs to defenders shoulders when finishing and doesn't let himself get squared up. Bounces off contact and uses low COG and balance to continue. Missing elite breakaway gearing but long speed will do just fine in hitting home runs. Wins with pure mixture of feel and balance. Runs with a pacing that is workmanlike and patient.
-
Full Scouting Report
Round Value: 2
Player Comparison: Kenneth WalkerQuick Report: Thick bursty legs that generate popping speed. Forces bad angles with plant and go burst. Low center of gravity with a short build and rocked legs. Executes easy jump cuts. Ping pongs off of bodies, but when squared up he can't overpower and truck without getting banged himself. Big fumble issues.
-
Full Scouting Report
Round Value: 2-3
Player Comparison: DeAngelo WilliamsQuick Report: Snappy decision maker, sees gaps and jumps in to action. Burst to quickly move in to space and exploit open lanes. Low center of gravity and sinks even lower with the ball. Great balance to keep footing and stay upright, and can execute jab steps and jump cuts with ease. Is he big enough to be a three down back? Looks small and stout, and isn’t much of a banger.
-
Full Scouting Report
Round Value: 3
Player Comparison: Travis EtienneQuick Report: Versatile, super active, and powerful legs help Henderson stay balanced and upright through contact. Very strong despite not being a bigger back. Keeps churning out yards and maximizes runs. At best running with momentum as stop-start action is a bit muddy at times and exposes him. Comfortable moving to flats in passing game, running off tackle and finding space to operate on the wings. Could be much better pro than college player.
-
Full Scouting Report
Round Value: 3
Player Comparison: Joseph AddaiQuick Report: Neal added heavy bulk this year and changed his game. Originally a James Cook style slasher, now he is profiling as a steady three-down back. One thing that set him apart is his comfort and smoothness in the receiving game. Quick to turn upfield, reaches his top speed easily. Fluid mover who relies on speed and pathing more than agility, although he can flash a great jump cut. Top speed isn't game-breaking, will stress angles but not explode past DBs. Can't impose will, will often get stopped and pushed back at the line. Just puts head down and tries to fall forward when running through traffic.
-
Full Scouting Report
Round Value: 3
Player Comparison: Tony PollardQuick Report: Aggressive and extremely active back. Judkins is constantly working his feet and making small cuts and jabs trying to find space to move to. Very slippery, good at reducing contact profile. Sometimes this rides him on to the back of his blockers as he's too eager. Needs to gear up and down to allow things to develop. Physically well put together, rocked up and athletic. Home run style runner when he sees open field, where he simplifies to straight ahead power/speed.
-
Full Scouting Report
Round Value: 3
Player Comparison: Carlos HydeQuick Report: Fly against window runner. Bangs straight ahead in to a wall until a hole is there. Top tier Power/Speed combo to run through and past the second level when he does find it. Not a lot of feel or rhythm, doesn't use many lateral tools. More of a mismatch athlete than a completely natural runner. There's something to build on here, and I could be under-estimating what he's capable of moving forward.
-
Full Scouting Report
Round Value: 3
Player Comparison: D’Andre SwiftQuick Report: Two modes: Linear stretch runner or wide, loose and stabbing with his feet. Goal is minimal zig-zagging, maximum speed without creating. Trips himself up because he doesn't step over/through tacklers and tries to keep stride. Just big enough and makes up for size difference in traffic by being aggressive and hyper-active with movement. Vision is average, gets over-excited and just runs at shoulders instead of finding cutbacks.
-
Full Scouting Report
Round Value: 3
Player Comparison: Zach CharbonnetQuick Report: Steady, linear runner. Runs with good balance and pace. Not afraid to run at full speed through traffic. Big with power, can lower and move a pile, but sometimes gets caught upright and can't drive. Top speed good not great. Lanes or nothing, lacking dynamic creativity and feel to maximize what isn’t there. Perfect plug-and-play RB in a power system.
-
Full Scouting Report
Round Value: 3-4
Player Comparison: James ConnerQuick Report: A giant for the position. Tall and rocked up. Loose and athletic plant-and-go runner. Keeps feet active and stance balanced with patience, and has one-step gearing to burst when he sees it. An absolute power bully but he sometimes gives himself up in traffic without lowering and churning. Top speed is only adequate, will get caught from behind. Concerned about a lack of true burst and speed that will allow NFL defenses to suffocate him ala AJ Dillon
-
Full Scouting Report
Round Value: 4
Player Comparison: Kenyan DrakeQuick Report: More linear runner, doesn't sink and jump laterally and instead tries striding, slipping and spinning through bodies. Eases up and slows feet when he doesn't see a lane. Has second gear speed and burst to exploit bad angles and shock the second level. Leaner looking build.
-
Full Scouting Report
Round Value: 4
Player Comparison: Isaiah CrowellQuick Report: Runs himself in to trouble sometimes with always-active always-charging style. Runs in to closed spaces before they might open. Has some feel for bouncing, changing lanes, and driving to space. Built powerful athlete, but long limbs means he exposes a lot of himself to defenders with looser running style
-
Full Scouting Report
Round Value: 4
Player Comparison: James WhiteQuick Report: Change of pace specialist. Just outside the body norm you want for a full-time player, although could be a Kyren Williams type. Woody Marks has the shiftiness to navigate traffic and make the first man miss. Comfortable swinging out of the backfield and being an outlet player. Minimizes his contact zone to slip off hits and fall forward.
-
Full Scouting Report
Round Value: 4
Player Comparison: Rachaad WhiteQuick Report: Great vision and feel. Uses peripheral vision and instincts to jump cut and move to opening lanes. One gear mover, doesn't have gearing or breakaway speed. Uses a bowling ball gritty style Built with a Thick trunk and smaller limbs. Lowers himself to boost contact balance, fearless. Do it all contributor. Will struggle to break free of NFL tackles when confronted with speed/strength difference. Will be a coach and fan favorite.
-
Full Scouting Report
Round Value: 5
Player Comparison: David JohnsonQuick Report: High-waisted build with long limbs. Lacking the usual stout muscular frame you see in RBs. Struggles to sink and zig-zag because of it. Very linear runner, straight ahead and tries to wiggle, slip and go over tacklers. Gets cut low very easily. Plus traits are as a receiver, and can make a long career in the NFL as a pass-catching weapon and third down back. Physical banger that will fall forward for extra yards and maximize touches with toughness.
-
Full Scouting Report
Round Value: 4-5
Player Comparison: Jaylen WarrenQuick Report: Smaller back lacking traditional RB weight distribution. Comfort as a receiver, catches and RAC's more like a slot receiver. Good jump cuts and has some plant and go quickness. Hesitates when forced to hit the line with power. 1B back in a passing game, doesn't fill a lead back role.
WIDE RECEIVER RANKINGS
-
Round Value: 1
Player Comparison: Brandon AiyukQuick Report: Elite RAC Ability. 6’0 WR with a rocked up build, made for screens and quick hitters. Despite build has good length in limbs that help track the ball and secure off frame passes. Springy active legs help with cuts and drive, and he can explode in one step. Wins with burst and shock in movements but sometimes gets tall and chattery with feet and doesn’t throw body in to cuts/breaks. Needs another level of polish in route running. With that he has an Antonio Brown ceiling, but the floor could be a Corey Coleman type.
-
Full Scouting Report
Round Value: 1
Player Comparison: Calvin RidleyQuick Report: An outstanding athlete and natural football player, who is a bit raw. No doubt it's just reps, getting muscle memory down. Clear burst, natural movement skills, elusive YAC. Just a special mover. Goes down quickly on contact. Can't fight through bodies. Can round routes and drift as he runs making for more labored catches. Hands can be stiff and spotty at times. Struggles tracking and timing the ball when bumped downfield.
-
Round Value: 1
Player Comparison: Drake LondonQuick Report: Tall, long and not stringy. Big catch radius and knows how to extend and maximize. Natural hands catcher with good coordination. Big play maker downfield thanks to catch point ability. Good long speed but lacking burst and shock. Not as physical as you'd like, and goes down easy. Like Mike Evans, Tet will need to win on a mixture of savvy and catch-point domination. Unlike CFB, Tet will need to level up his focus and skills to compete against top cornerbacks who will disrupt him constantly, because his athleticism alone won’t cut it.
-
Full Scouting Report
Round Value: 1-2
Player Comparison: Brandon LloydQuick Report: Quick hands that track and flash to the football. Natural catcher. Easily catches and transitions to YAC without thinking. Has great gearing to work up and down depending on the route. Loose and fluid athlete, can snap off routes sharply without much effort. Great balance. Adequate long speed to surprise a cornerback on vertical routes and get a step. A perfect number two receiver who can ascend to a one with seasoning and volume, and Felton will dominate with volume.
-
Full Scouting Report
Round Value: 1-2
Player Comparison: Jaylen WaddleQuick Report: Big play machine. Has good release mix to attack on vertical routes. Gets to his glide speed easily. Deceptively quick. Good hands, great extension despite sub 6' frame. Good timing on jump balls to maximize chances. Outstanding balance. Versatile volume machine.
-
Full Scouting Report
Round Value: 2
Player Comparison: Tyler LockettQuick Report: Smooth and coordinated route runner. Inside/outside versatility. Will make a living on dig routes and crosses. Looks like a great athlete but play speed feels held back and linear. Feels compact instead of long-limbed. Missing that last bit that elevates from good to special.
-
Full Scouting Report
Round Value: 2
Player Comparison: Diontae JohnsonQuick Report: Quick quick quick. A frenzied jitterbug off the line, will shake most inside DBs/LBs in the first five yard. Gimme player for third downs. Short with a RB build. Broad chest and shoulders with short limbs. Makes the most of his radius but is going to struggle bringing in throws that pull him off schedule. Noel is what the Giants wanted when they drafted Kadarius Toney
-
Full Scouting Report
Round Value: 2-3
Player Comparison: Emmanuel SandersQuick Report: Quick feet and an effortless vertical stride. Can gear up and gear down with easy tempo in footwork. Simple hands catcher who extends and plucks comfortably. Stabs feet and breaks off routes easily. Against top CFB corners he had to work extra hard with his full toolbox of moves for separation but made it work. Frame, adequate speed and technique make for an ideal #2 or versatile move volume target. Easy to see NFL success but not sure a lead receiver is here. Reminds me of John Metchie, where the tape shows good route movement and talent, but you underestimate the work they’re putting in for CFB separation, and the NFL leap coming.

Full Scouting Report
Round Value: 2-3
Player Comparison: Michael PittmanQuick Report: Surprisingly snappy and sharp mover considering length. Really works hard in routes to not get loose or lazy like tall receivers do. Breaks off vertical pushes well to create space. Simple catcher, exposes mitts and brings it in with natural hands. Big target that squares up and blocks paths to the football. Sells vertical but athletic DBs won't be too threatened by his long speed. When off script with the ball he then gets a bit loose and easy to surround and corral.
-
Full Scouting Report
Round Value: 2-3
Player Comparison: Rashod BatemanQuick Report: Ideal receiver frame. Lean, long and springy while still compact enough to plant and break off movements with outstanding coordination. Solid athleticism but is more of a runner than a sprinter, missing the shock you want. Effortless catcher, can pluck the ball and turn to YAC mode easily. Tough with a great attitude for the position. Would like to see him attack corners more in man, instead feels like he drifts through routes.
-
Full Scouting Report
Round Value: 3
Player Comparison: Eric MouldsQuick Report: Surprisingly rocked up and physical. Very hands-centric, works himself behind his hands and secures everything. Attitude is pure football, tough and makes his presence felt when he has the ball. Savvy feel for working to space. A little stiff but has just enough bend. Good not amazing athleticism, is functional enough to work all levels. Inside/out versatility but best as big slot. Works the middle with an experienced Tight End mindset.
-
Full Scouting Report
Round Value: 3
Player Comparison: Zay FlowersQuick Report: Looks like a bobblehead at times, size is the huge downside. Smaller frame, smaller radius. Otherwise, as explosive as they come. One step to reach speed, combo quick and fast. Will be moved, motioned and gadgeted like a Tyreek Hill. Needs to go to the right team that sees him as a weapon and doesn't just make him run routes. Despite where I have him ranked, I wouldn’t take him over some other prospects out of risk of both size and also consistent success compared to the more solid receivers that follow.
-
Full Scouting Report
Round Value: 3
Player Comparison: Jauan JenningsQuick Report: Bigger possesion receiver. Go to a spot and plant. Good solid hands and coordination. Plays with courage. Nothing too special in his legs. Won't fool corners trying to sell deep, won't shock off the line. Uncanny YAC ability, is oddly slippery. Can he consistently work open against NFL Corners?
-
Full Scouting Report
Round Value: 3-4
Player Comparison: Dorial Green-BeckhamQuick Report: Rocked up with good height and very long arms. Good push off in legs to force vertical distance to close. Lacking top end speed to really threaten NFL DBs. Gifted mover with the ball, light feet and slippery. Missing nuance in route running, often relies on his physicality instead of working DBs. Big push-offs will get flagged. Has good timing on jump balls and the ability to make acrobatic catches. If refined as a receiver he becomes a discount Deandre Hopkins with more size. If not, you have a bigger Cordarrelle Patterson.
-
Full Scouting Report
Round Value: 3-4
Player Comparison: Brandon LaFellQuick Report: Physically built and well put together, man amongst boys when you see the stringy corners he opposes. Travis Hunter couldn't compete physically. Taut athlete, muscular and wound vs. loose and gliding. Speed is enough to push vertical, create threat, but won't beat top corners. Has release plans, uses lots of jab steps and sharp cuts, but once in motion is one-speed. Body trap catcher, works his chest to the ball. Does everything but catch away from body well. Question his hands and hand strength.
-
Full Scouting Report
Round Value: 3-4
Player Comparison: Stevie JohnsonQuick Report: Not the fastest, or the biggest. Standard possession style, but has enough wiggle and shake, with some basketball moves, to get open. Squared up target on slants and crossers. Dependable. Soft hands, strong with the ball. Drifts in routes when he'll need to be sharper. Long speed isn't a true threat. Needs to work back and impose at catch point.
-
Full Scouting Report
Round Value: 4
Player Comparison: Rashard HigginsQuick Report: Loose with great body control. Understands how to move through zone and be friendly to QB. Adequate athleticism means role player vs true number one. Flexible at the catch point with longer limbed frame and dependable hands.
-
Full Scouting Report
Round Value: 4
Player Comparison: Quez WatkinsQuick Report: Elite vertical speed. Vertical push is aggressive and gets zone defenders caught on their heels or trying to pivot. Burst is fantastic after the catch. Has bulked up and matured physically. Has also improved hands, although still feels a bit unnatural as a receiver with a rawness and too much focus on plucking the ball. Not yet well rounded and savvy with routes, needs more seasoning and learning to gear up/down to help break off routes. Low floor insane ceiling
-
Full Scouting Report
Round Value: 4-5
Player Comparison: Jamison CrowderQuick Report: Bill Belichick is drooling. Movable slot player as a pro. Super controlled mover, deliberate and coordinated. Missing shock in first steps or vertical push threat. Wins by quick turns, efficiency in routes. Fierce at the catch point, plays with attitude. Looks much smaller than listed. Moves a little stiff, lacking the rubber body control.
-
Full Scouting Report
Round Value: 5
Player Comparison: Tutu AtwellQuick Report: Super springy athlete. Bounce steps, quick strides. Stop-start mover who can ellude in a phone booth. Can go up to get the ball but will come down hard. Slight frame, pushed easy, pulled down extra easy. Won't win anything physical. Moving gadget player, Tutu Atwell style. Could be the first player to snap in two like a twig on the football field.
-
Full Scouting Report
Round Value: 5
Player Comparison: Zach PascalQuick Report: Looks like they're moving at partial speed. Low level players in his hip pocket on vertical plays. Uses push offs to separate but loses leaping timing because of it. Decent hands. Can run effective routes but he doesn't have an explosive ceiling.
*This is based on the idea of Travis Hunter as a full-time Wide Receiver, where he can refine his game without dedicating to other responsibilities.
TIGHT END RANKINGS
-
Full Scouting Report
Round Value: 1-2
Player Comparison: Dallas GoedertQuick Report:Top tier athleticism, has the movement and body control of a big receiver. Quick feet and hands, both are used with good coordination. Surprisingly nimble. Frame is long and lean enough that he won't be great anchoring the edge against NFL players. Move TE that will have a high average yards-per-target
-
Full Scouting Report
Round Value: 2
Player Comparison: Zach ErtzQuick Report: Moves at a simple, linear pace, smooth as molasses. Athleticism lies in his great body control and soft hands that make him a dependable target, and bulk means he can punish secondaries after the catch. Won't work separation one on one when pressed, struggling with no burst in legs. Size mismatch, can flash hands and big frame to win contested situations.
-
Full Scouting Report
Round Value: 3
Player Comparison: Delanie Walker
Quick Report: Historically unsuccessful body build for the position. Thick and muscular but shorter, built more like Derrick Henry than a traditional TE. Loose mover, has a lot of wiggle and shake. Agile and balanced but in-game top speed isn’t special. Doesn’t drive hard like a sprinter, runs more like an NBA player. Hands are soft and floaty, like pillows. Blocking is more of an act, or a game of decoy, versus actually driving defenders. Will need to go to the right scheme.
-
Full Scouting Report
Round Value: 3-4
Player Comparison: Dalton SchultzQuick Report: A right-place right-time dependable target. Smooth and works the field with simple movement and finds seams and gaps in zone. Adequate athlete but missing drive and burst to pull away. Won’t break off a route hard. Traditional style TE that will live as an outlet, chain moving grit guy.
-
Full Scouting Report
Round Value: 3-4
Player Comparison: Cole KmetQuick Report: Big, moderately athletic with long arms and good hands. Hands flash to the ball really well. Has toughness to make catches with hits oncoming. Not the sharpest route runner at times, drifts to spots. Not a vertical threat but functional enough speed to stretch the seam.
