All right, just coming out with my new big board.
I’m gonna go over a few of the guys that I want to highlight a few of the prospects that I think are the top of this class or in my top 50 that I, I just want to give a little shine to.
First off is someone that has probably grabbed everyone’s attention is Ash and Gente running back from Boise State, he cracked my top 10.
He, he’s that good of a player.
I know running backs and running back value.
When you got a guy this talented that can contribute on 34 downs, he can take any run to the house, he can catch the ball.
He’s great in pass protection.
That’s a top 10 player.
Doesn’t matter, doesn’t matter what position he plays.
Get this guy on the field.
He is going to be a needle mover forever draft some had a game in my top 10 next up, my quarterback one in a QB class.
It’s, it’s a little bit of a letdown, especially after what happened last season.
So this would really be like quarterback five if this came out last year, but I still have to mention him.
He’s my QB one that’s Garrett Nussmeier from LSU.
He might push the ball and try some things in the windows, but they are usually calculated risks and a quarterback class that’s really eye of the beholder.
I I think Garrett Nuss Meyer’s combination of explosive play, enough athletic, great arm talent, being able to change arm slots, his aggression without making a lot of mistakes.
That’s as good of an argument as I can make for anyone.
And right now he’s my QB one.
My number one player overall is a cornerback, which I really didn’t think I would ever have as my number one player overall.
But this is how good this player is.
That’s Will Johnson from Michigan, really the closest comparison I have to him is probably the best cornerback in the NFL right now.
And Patrick C the second, Will Johnson has that type of combination of size smarts and technique at the position as well as the athleticism to really cover anybody.
He’s got length, he’s got movement ability.
He’s my number one player overall because I just think he has the highest floor with the high ceiling of being a true lockdown corner, which is so hard to find in this day and age.
