And that's why I like Loveland more because to me, it's like I would take Loveland on twenty six twenty seven teams
He has to be the te one... so he's my te one. Harold Fannon Junior, my fury... I would say Mason Taylor to me is a safer prospect than than Loveland... I prefer Taylor to love one
Number one tier of his own is Travis Hunter... The two guys that stick out to me are Tetro McMillan at Arizona and then Amecha Buka at Ohio State... he's my number two receiver... So he's he's my three, and McMillan I have a little bit ahead of him... Golden's my next guy after a BUKA... Now, Luther Burden and Jalen Knowle actually out of Iowa State
We got my homes, Alan. Lamar Jackson really right, Burrow... Got to put Hurts up there... Matthew Stafford still elite... Jaden Daniels is the future of this league... I got Jared Off, I got Baker Mayfield. That's nine... Baker Golf, Jordan Love... I got my boy perty at eleven... if you're the twelfth best quarterback in the world
If I had to pick these three guys, like Who'd I want on my team, I would go Stingley, McDuffie, Sauce. ... But if my life depended on it, you'd have to choose Sauce because he's the least of the three. I would say, fluid athlete
Nick amm and Warri moved up four spots... He's up to fifteen for me... Donovanizeraku... he goes up five spots to twenty five... Walter Nolan... he goes up to number twenty eight... Mason Taylor aforementioned, he's thirty two now, Jackson Dart just moved up... He was forty. He goes to thirty six
Here are our top 15 quarterbacks eligible for the 2025 NFL Draft next month. 2025 NFL Draft Final QB Rankings
We're doing top five guys who carry the fullback mentality to their positions... Number five... Malik Mustafa... Number four is Vita Vea... Buddha Baker... Number two... George Kittle... And number one... Pine Sewel
let's get started with the top ten combined prospects going into the combine. It's my list... It's number ten Michigan defensive back Will Johnson... Number nine is tight end Colston Loveland... my number eight prospect is Arizona wide receiver Tatoroa McMillan... cam Ward is my seventh overall prospect... that is Jalen Walker... Mason Graham is the number five prospect... number four... Ashton gent... Number three... Mister Tyler Warren... Number two, I've got... Abdul Carter... I've got Travis Hunter as my number one prospect
i've Got Travis hunter at, One Abdul carter, Two Tyler warren, Three Ashton genty at, Four Mason graham at. Five then you saw six through ten Yesterday
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 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.

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 Chauncey Gardner Johnson, you are my number five. Josh Sweat... Cooper... They are my number three top five Eagle... Zach Bond again... and honestly, like to Kyle's 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.
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.
so you have Lamar ahead of Alan right now... So you have you have that flipped. / Yes with a sigh.
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.
