ESPN top 100 players countdown is live

[WhiteMamba]

Maybe he wont be as high as I'm thinking.

I think JuJu Smith would be much higher at the end of this season than now.

 

[fishinabarrel]

ESPN is funny. Love their reasoning for Goff not being higher "Cal has a bad defense"

Some seriously over-rated guys here with amazing upside. Oakman is a freak of nature that when engaged is a menace. He just is not always engaged. Garrett was second best freshman sack specialist in the SEC, but racked the majority of his states in a weak OOC schedule. Both can be top 5 NFL picks, but consistency just has not been there.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Jones
Perry
Decker
EzE
Braxton
Bosa
Lee
Barrett
Adolphus Washington
Vonn Bell?

Add Cardale and Elflein

7 so far. Probably will get to 10 with Bosa, EzE, and Brax

 

[7Samurai13]

The Big 10 is pretty well represented in the top 50 so far. I expect at least 4 Spartans. Two so far with Cook and Calhoun not listed yet.

as expected, OSU is going to be over-rated in all these type of polls. It is the benefit of being the NC. JT Barrett may not start and is rated 30+ spots ahead of a guy that many are predicting to be the first QB in teh draft.

I guess you mean Hackenberg. He was 41, Barrett was 29.

Hackenberg has been overhyped his whole career and coming out of H.S. He threw more picks than TD's, Barrett had 45 total TD's and almost 4000 yards in his first season as a college QB. Yes, he had more weapons but the stats arent close at all. Barrett could be higher, but bc he has only had one full season is the reason.

I think you're just upset that more Longhorns didn't make the list.

Ronnie Stanley at #34 and Jaylon Smith at #25 is a joke. Both are likely top 15 picks.

Is this a draft projection or a list of the top 100 college players? They aren't necessarily the same thing.

At the collegiate level there is zero comparison between J.T. Barrett and Christian Hackenberg, none whatsoever. Barrett's way better. And yes I realize Hackenberg has less weapons, his line sucks, and yes I'm also aware that he is a projected top draft pick and Barrett is not.

Actually Goff. I havent seen Hackenberg #1 yet. Both are likely to be top picks, but the pt stands. They have a guy that may not start 30 spots above projected top 10 guys

Also to the pt. Name me a QB that did not have success at OSU. Which is more likely:

a. OSU has a great system and surrounding players
b. OSU has 3 of the greatest QBs in history at 1 school

They have Jones back in the 70s or 80s so they are guessing Barrett will start and they should. He gives them a two dimensional offense rather than one with jones.

I get that. It is just not a lock that he is starting. He looks very good. I am just not buying he is the 20 something best player in the country. Miller put up a 158 passer rating at OSU the year prior and he is a great athlete playing QB. I think it is pretty obvious record and situation are heavily influencing the ratings.

Penn State's Christian Hackenberg determined to deliver on NFL draft hype

Here is kind of a hype article. Many say he is a top 5 pick but IMO he has to improve all year.

Havent heard of Goff going #1
