I wasn’t planning on doing a position ranking this year since I’m barely even doing any mocks but I was asked to and since I love you guys how could I say no? :wub:
I’m not going to comment on every player, just ones here and there and full disclosure, I have not kept up to date on everyone who has declared or said they’re going back to school so if I’m missing someone I may have forgot they declared or I might have guys who are going back to school.
Quarterbacks1. Pat Mahomes II, QB, Texas Tech
Just like Jimmy G a few short years ago, Mahomes has stolen my heart (of course he has, I mocked him to the Cards in my last one haha). His offense in college was a joke but he seems very committed to ready himself for the NFL, already hiring multiple QB coaches to work with him before the combine.
2. DeShone Kizer, QB, Notre Dame
3. Mitch Trubisky, QB, North Carolina
4. Deshaun Watson, QB, Clemson
5. Chad Kelly, QB, Ole Miss
6. Jerod Evans, QB, Virginia Tech
7. Antonio Pipkin, QB, Tiffin
8. Davis Webb, QB, California
9. Brad Kaaya, QB, Miami
10. Patrick Towles, QB, Boston College
11. Seth Russell, QB, Baylor
12. Tyler Stewart, QB, Nevada
13. Josh Dobbs, QB, Tennessee
14. Taysom Hill, QB, BYU
15. Gunner Kiel, QB, Cincinnati
Running Back1. Leonard Fournette, RB, LSU and Dalvin Cook, RB, Florida State
Take your pick. Most will say Fournette hands down but I put Cook right in the mix with Fournette and might even give Cook a slight edge if I’m forced to pick just 1.
2. D’Onta Foreman, RB, Texas
3. Christian McCaffrey, RB, Stanford
4. Alvin Kamara, RB, Tennessee
5. Brian Hill, RB, Wyoming
6. Joe Mixon, RB, Oklahoma
Mixon has all the talent in the world but he lit some feisty bitch up with the Ray Rice special after she was pushing him a little bit. Not saying I agree with it but girl was starting some shit it seemed (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoTXImRJS2k for the curious). He gives her a fair warning it seems, she reacts like a little shit and he helps her take a quick nap. Even though this was in 2014 he’ll likely go undrafted so if someone wants to take a chance and deal with the media backlash, he could be next year’s Tyreke Hill.
7. Wayne Gallman, RB, Clemson
8. Curtis Samuel, RB/WR, Ohio State
9. Jeremy McNichols, RB, Boise State
10. James Conner, RB, Pittsburgh
Conner tore his ACL in 2015 and was diagnosed with cancer, that’s some shit right there. He’s healthy now but didn’t look like his former self in 2016. With that said he’ll fall in the draft but someone will take him and they’ll get a stud. If he comes out and puts up a sub 4.6 40 at the combine with his size (6’2’’, 250) he’ll go day 2.
11. Jamaal Williams, RB, BYU
12. Samaje Perine, RB, Oklahoma
13. Matt Dayes, RB, N.C. State

3. Dimitri Flowers, FB, Oklahoma
4. Nate Iese, FB, UCLA
5. Prescott Line, FB, Michigan State
6. Marcus Allen, FB, Georgia Tech

*Normally this list for corners is well into the thirties, sometimes fourties and this year it dies off at 24. This is a VERY strong QB class just not a deep one if that makes any sense haha. The top 12 guys all have potential to be some legitimate shut down guys and some of the later listed guys have some tremendous upside too but there just aren’t a lot of them in this class.
