NFL Draft Position Rankings

With the NFL combine in the rearview mirror, attention now turns to Pro Days and parsing through all of the gossip and disinformation that will be put out by NFL teams in the coming weeks.

Everyone has their own set of rankings heading into April's NFL Draft, so I figured why not throw my hat into the ring?

What follows is a top 10 at each position, along with a round grade. I am not a full-time NFL scout and as such don't delve into all of the minutiae that is done by folks much more qualified than I am. But I do believe that production means something, especially when it comes against top competition. So while I may not delve into the fluidity of Jeff Okudah's hip turn or the knee bend of Andrew Thomas, I know enough to be able to put together a ranking. These rankings are how I believe the players will be long-term, not necessary in the 2020 season. I will have a Mock Draft closer to the actual NFL Draft. Also, if I don't list a player you like it means one of two things -- they may be good but the position is very deep, or I hate them with a passion.

NOTE: Only players of whom I have seen sufficient tape will be ranked, which is why there may be some smaller school names missing.
