OK, probably TMI, but here's how this was done.

I charted the ratings from Walterfootball, drafttek, espn, profootballnetwork, the athlethic, profootballfocus, and ourlads and averaged the results. Ended up woth over 100 players. I won't consider players who are ranked up to 3 spots higher until the final rounds. Discarded any player with less that 4 rankings and stillhad over 500. Based on that, here goes -

1-23 (rank 23) WR Denzel Boston, Washington 6'3" 212 4.47 Perfrct H-W-S

2-54 (rank 52) Edge Malachi Lawrence, Central Florida 6'4" 253 4.52.

3-68 (rank 74) G Keelan Rutlledge, Georgia Tech 6'4" 316 5.05 A small reach, but need IOL. Could have had S Ramsey or Smith. Could have had DDS but have Lawrence. Dunker was ranked 63 so he was out of the parameters.

3-98 (rank 101) S Jalon Kilgore, South Carolina 6'1" 210 4.40 . He'll be a starter before mid-season

4-114 (rank 113) QB Carson Beck, Miami(OH) 6'4" 233 4.74. McKee could still be traded and he's a FA after this year.

4-137 (rank 138) C/G/T Trey Zuhn III 6'6" 315 5.30 He's played all the OL positions. Thought about a TE here (Endries rank 137) but OL was a higher priority

5-178 (rank 192) TE Tannewr Koziel, Houston 6'6" 2.47 4.70 Need a tight end and Ourlads write up says the potential is there.

6-197 (rank 235) WR/RB/KR/PR Eli Heidenreich, Navy 6'0" 206 4.44 My favorite player in the draft. Versitile withH-W-S. Howie would call him one of those red star players.

I still think Howie has a wink-wink deal with New England. The Patrious will take players Howie wants in rounds 1 ans 3. Then on June 1 they'll be traded to the Eagles for AJ Brown.

Watch for a trade of McKee for a 4th and a pick next year. Can't keep 4 QB's on the final roster and if we cut Beck and tried to get him to the practice squad he's be scooped up.

Just one week to go, Rob. Can’t wait but always a bit sad when it’s done on saturday.

The players I believe teams might be higher on are Rutlledge, Lawrence and maybe Kilgore but I’d be happy if they take them there.

Although I might be disappointed if they select Denzel Boston at #23, he is a good WR prospect and a true X. Peter Schrager had the Eagles taking him in his last mock.

After Saturday I start on next year. I start to catalogue players. This year I had over 1000 players in the databasel. It's a life long hobby. Next year I hope to get to the Senior Bowl as well as a return vivit to the combine. If you want to see the whole file, ratings and all send me a message privately.

I will!

Especially for next year’s class. Wonder if it’s that much better than this year’s. They say that every year; "but next year’s prospects are so much better”.

Personally I believe that in each and every draft class good players can be had. In Some classes you just have to look better.

Unbelievable ow many players touted highly early are now returning to school

I like this and wouldn't be mad... might prefer a OT instead of Boston but I wouldn't be mad. Nice one, thanks for another to ponder.
