adam Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 These guys have published a free Draft guide for their Top 100 here: http://firstroundgrade.com/2015/04/26/2015...-now-available/ Really cool actually and some of the most detailed analysis you will find on the interwebs. I was surprised to see some of their player grades, and if their grading is any indication, we will definitely have some draft surprises. Here is their top 21 (which were the only players that received a 1st round grade): RANK NAME POS SCHOOL GRADE 1 Leonard Williams DT USC 8.8 2 Kevin White WR West Virginia 8.8 3 Melvin Gordon RB Wisconsin 8.7 4 Alvin “Bud” Dupree EDGE Kentucky 8.5 5 Owamagbe Odighizuwa EDGE UCLA 8.5 6 Duke Johnson RB Miami 8.5 7 Marcus Mariota QB Oregon 8.4 8 Brandon Scherff OT Iowa 8.3 9 Andrus Peat OT Stanford 8.2 10 Todd Gurley RB Georgia 8.2 11 Landon Collins S Alabama 8.2 12 Amari Cooper WR Alabama 8.1 13 Jameis Winston QB Florida St. 8.1 14 La’El Collins OT LSU 8.0 15 Kevin Johnson CB Wake Forest 8.0 16 Danny Shelton DT Washington 8.0 17 Devante Parker WR Louisville 8.0 18 Eric Kendricks LB UCLA 8.0 19 Malcom Brown DT Texas 8.0 20 Cameron Erving C Florida St. 8.0 21 Jake Fisher OT Oregon 8.0 10.0 The “perfect” player. Absolute lock to be a HOFer. (Player with perfect 10 will always be #1 overall pick) 9.5 Lock to immediately become one of the elite players at his position. No flaws. (#1 overall pick) 9.0 Immediate starter. Will become one of the best players at his position in his rookie season. (Top-10 selection) 8.5 Immediate starter. Will become one of the best players on his team during his rookie season. (Top-20 selection) 8.0 Starter during rookie season. Will become one of the best players on his side of the ball on his team during his rookie season. (1st round pick) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Winston at 13?!?! Lost all credibility right there. That guide, regardless of the details, is garbage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted April 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Winston at 13?!?! Lost all credibility right there. That guide, regardless of the details, is garbage. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, McShay had Beasley and Collins in the 2nd, so Winston as the 13th best player regardless of position is not too crazy.

There are lots of people concerned his skillset doesn't translate to the next level. We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 There are lots of people concerned his skillset doesn't translate to the next level. We'll see. Dont think much of this website, Gordon and Duke Johnson as 2 of the top 6 players? Here is some websites that are run by former scouts, and find them to be more realistic. http://www.draftcountdown.com/Rankings/TOP.php http://gbnreport.com/2015-nfl-draft-player...top-100-players http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2436440...400-the-top-400 Matt Miller is not a former scout but think he is pretty sharp. http://www.ourlads.com/top-32-college-seni...ft/2015/2592129 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was 18th in QBR in the nation. http://espn.go.com/ncf/qbr I don't know if he is the 13th best player in the draft, but anywhere from 5-10 is realistic.
