Here are the top ten free agents... T. Higgins... Trey Smith... Milton Williams three... Ronnie Stanley four, Zach Bond coming off a career year at number five, Sam Darnold at six, Osa Adigie Zua at number seven, Josh Sweat from the Eagles at eight, Chris Godwin at nine, and Carlton Davis... Nick Chubb at twenty nine is my one on one.
So every year I do my top ten prospects heading into the Combine. This was the list last year this day, Monday of Combine Week... Number ten... Nate Wiggins out of Clemson... I had Brock Bowers at number nine... Number eight... Tallyesci Fuaga out of Oregon State... Number seven with Malik Neighbors... I had him number six [Roma Doonza]... Last year I had Drake May. Drake May had five... Number four... I had Jaden Daniels... Number three was a Notre Dame boy... Joe allt... Number two. I had Marvin Harrison Junior... And then number one one overall going into the combine, I had Caleb Williams
Daniel Jeremiah and Lance Zierlein have him ranked 33rd and 52nd, respectively.
I moved Starks from fifth (preseason) to 18th on my board. His size, athleticism, ball skills, and versatility make him a top-20 player
Daniel Jeremiah and Lance Zierlein have him ranked 33rd and 52nd, respectively.
Chauncey Gardner Johnson, you are my number five... Josh Sweat... They are my number three... Cooper Gene the rookie... Zach Bond again... Jalen not hurts Carter

Number five I have to start off with Lane Johnson... number four, wide receiver aj Brown... Number three Jalen Carter... Number two Jalen Hurts... And then number one is obvious mister Sequon Barkley.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Feb 15, 2025 Number five... I have Jalen Hurts... number four. I put Jordan Mailatta... Number three Jalen Carter... Number two I have Lane Johnson... And the number one I have Saquon Barkley.

Zach bond I had him representing the defense... He's number five, Number four Lane Johnson... Number three A J. Brown... Jalen Hurts... Say Awn Barkley again number one
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Feb 13, 2025 I think it should be a consensus number one. I think it's Stafford... I think I might be Daniel's over and golf... if you're ranking these quarterbacks being pure, I think Hurts would be last.
automatically we're putting Mahomes, Allen and Lamar ahead of anybody in the NFC... I have Alan and Lamar, but it's very close, and I hate that. So you have you have that flipped.
so you have Lamar ahead of Alan right now... So you have you have that flipped. / Yes with a sigh.
So you just went through my one through four. Yeah, Stafford, goff Daniels Hurts.
So we have four guys and Tier one home Mahomes Allan, Jackson Daniels. Tier two, we have Herbert Golf and Stafford... So I would go Baker first, then Sam Murs... Then I would say Love and then Hurts... So we got bow Knicks in force... Russell Wilson has to be there... C J. Stroud has to be in that conversation.
