*****
1. CB Derek Stingley Jr., LSU
Stingley is the best cornerback in the country and arguably the best since Jalen Ramsey. He should be a top-five pick.
*****
2. OT Evan Neal, Alabama
Neal is a freaky athlete and this is higher than many have him ranked, but I think he’s more special than Penei Sewell.
*****
3. DT DeMarvin Leal, Texas A&M
Leal is a monster who can play end or tackle. He should easily be a top-10 pick.
*****
4. LB Christian Harris, Alabama
Harris has great size and his closing speed is nasty. He’s a top-15 pick and my top-ranked linebacker.
*****
5. TE Jalen Wydermyer, Texas A&M
This is higher than many have him as well but Wydermyer is a first-round talent if he keeps progressing.
*****
6. CB Kaiir Elam, Florida
Elam is a bit raw in some areas but he has all the athletic skill to be a first-rounder.
*****
7. WR George Pickens, Georgia
His knee injury doesn’t help but he could be back later in the season and cement that first-round status he had.
*****
8. OT Kenyon Green, Texas A&M
Is he a tackle? I’m not sure, but I know he’s going to be a valued lineman even if he’s projected as a guard.
*****
9. DT Jordan Davis, Georgia
Davis is an elite defensive tackle who can crush the pocket.
*****
10. QB Matt Corral, Ole Miss
Corral makes some mistakes and takes some chances but he has special arm talent.
