NFL.com player rankings

So NFL.com has player rankings and gives each player a specific value.

Their scale is

9.00-10
Once-in-lifetime player
8.00-8.99
Perennial All-Pro
7.50-7.99
Future All-Pro
7.00-7.49
Pro Bowl-caliber player
6.50-6.99
Chance to become Pro Bowl-caliber player
6.00-6.49
Should become instant starter

etc

These are their rankings of who the player is TODAY. So only five players in the draft are in the 7s, but there are players in the league who are int he 8s, and maybe even a 9 or two. (even though thats mathematically impossible LOL)

Anyway, they have these players as the top 17...

RB Saquon Barkley          7.45
OG Quentin Nelson          7.34
DE Bradley Chubb            7.32
LB Tremaine Edmunds    7.17
QB Sam Darnold               7.00
WR Calvin Ridley               6.83
LB Roquan Smith              6.74
DL Vita Vea                        6.50
DL Da'Ron Payne               6.50
DB Derwin James             6.44
RB Derrius Guice               6.41
DL Taven Bryan                 6.45
DB Denzel Ward                6.31
LB Leighton Vander Esch   6.25
QB Josh Rosen                  6.19
DB Minkah Fitzpatrick       6.19
DL Harold Landry              6.15

That's a lot of love for Nelson and Edmunds, and an answer to those who say Edmunds needs a red shirt year more than any normal rookie.

Just now, Stinger226 said:

Its a bogus rankings when they have Minkah Fitzpatrick is the the 16th best player. Also Taven Bryan is a joke,. he is athletic but has 0 production in college. His last year he had 17 ts, 3 TFL and one sack.

yup, I just posted the other list too, so I guess all it proves is that people who oughtta know, disagree :)
