VV is top 10 guy rn.

Just an animal.

Always lower guy. Hands are always moving, active, violent and heavy.

His punches move you. I see some Suh strength in him where he just knocks people back on impact.

At work but this guy is a monster. Played RB in high school?

Very interested in next year. For me assuming we keep Brady I have a bold prediction.

Not only do we take a QB but we take him with our first round pick. It will tick a lot of fans off cause it will not immediately help the team but you don't play games when it comes to having a quality starting QB ready to go after Brady hangs em up.

Will depend on Jacoby's development.

I was hoping he'd enter this year and we could get him in the mid-late rounds. Really like his game. He killed Duke.
Def Patriot-type. Can never have too many pass rushers!

Less than a year out from the 2018 draft so I don't want to fall behind

I know we just drafted two developmental OT's but at this point the position that stands out to me the most for the 2018 draft is OL. There looks to be quite a few interesting players across the entire offensive front. Obviously a lot will change as some will rise and some will fall. This time last year some of us were talking about Conor McDermott being a guy who could potentially play himself into a top 10 pick if he developed.

At the moment I think there could be two potential blue chip LT's in Connor Williams from Texas and Mitch Hyatt from Clemson. Williams is already my early favorite player for 2018, I think he could potentially be the best LT prospect since Jake Long/Joe Thomas IF he continues to fill out and develop.

You then have a few other potential first round LT's in Mike McGlinchey from Notre Dame who may have been the #1 LT in the 2017 draft had he declared. You also have Martinas Rankin from Mississippi State and Trey Adams from Washington as athletic blind side protectors that could go high.

There are also two big, mauling guys in 6'8" 340lb Orlando Brown from Oklahoma and 6'8" 318lb Brock Ruble from Florida State that project to the right side in the NFL.

On the interior there are 4 guys I really like. Quenton Nelson from ND would have likely been the first OG taken in 2017 and I think that will probably be the case in 2018. Martez Ivey was a highly regarded recruit who will likely play LT for Florida in 2018 but ultimately his best position in the NFL may be at OG. The two guys I'm looking to watch the closest are C Frank Ragnow from Arkansas and OG Will Hernandez from UTEP. Both guys are PFF favorites and the tape backs it up.

While OL, especially tackle doesn't seem like a huge need at the moment, if we have a chance to get one of the potential blue chip guys (Jimmy G trade?), I would definitely take it. Ragnow and Hernandez are two guys I think could really solidify our interior and give us one of the best, young OL in the NFL.

I'm looking forward to another 12 months of Jimmy G trade proposals and player evaluations from everyone .

Dane Brugler provides a list of 100 names to get started on for next year.

2018 NFL Draft preview: Ranking the top five players at each position

Two edge rushers to watch next year is Hubbard from Ohio state and the Kid from Clemson.

Vea could be the first non qb off the board next year.

Alabama has three cb's coming out next year that I would love to have.

The best player in next year's draft, if he declares would be qb Rosen of ucla.

No effing way bro

Ochmed Jones said:

Rosen is the best college qb I have seen since luck. Unbelievable arm, accuracy, and decision making. Plus he can run if need be. He got injured last season but should have a huge season in 2018.

Darnold seems to be a system guy.

Coming up with a list now.

Take a look a saquon barkleys legs. That tells me all I need to know. Stud. Will go top 10 barring any ridiculous injury

Bacon, who's your favorite safety right now. For me I'd have to say Derwin James

Saq's legs do look like trunks. He's fun to watch but that class is pretty stacked.

James def has the #1 spot but Harrison, Watts and Johnson are all very, very good.

Not a first rounder. But, a player who has improved by leaps and bounds is TE Mike Gesicki. He has a tremendous catch radius and is up to 258lb 6'5". Not an extensive football background before arriving at PSU. Didn't even know how to line up in a
3pt stance. He's come a long way. I believe Gesicki and Saeed Blacknell will vie for top PSU prospect behind Barkley. Blacknell is a big kid who (ran a 4.39 at winter workouts) battled injuries last year and wasn't very productive because of it. Had a spectacular B1G Championship game vs Wisconsin. But, was suspended for the Rose Bowl. Violating team rules. Keep an eye on those 2 in addition to Barkley. PSU offense should be fun to watch this year.

Gesicki is fun to watch. Looks every bit of his listed h/w.

Another guy from PSU to watch out for is Marcus Allen, S.

Marcus may have to move to lb in the NFL. Makes a ton of tackles. But, just doesn't play the ball well enough to play safety in the NFL. I don't believe he has an int in over 30 starts.
