So many great players coming out for the 2017 NFL Draft its unreal. I just watched some film on Joe Mixon and was blown away. The guy is incredible. He should definitely be drafted in the 1st round and is a better pro prospect than Leonard Fournette IMO. Here is my big board as it stands for now:

D4H's Top 20 Prospects in the 2017 NFL Draft
1. DE Myles Garrett (Texas A&M)
2. DL Solomon Thomas (Stanford)
3. CB Cam Sutton (Tennessee)
4. WR Corey Davis (Western Michigan)
5. RB Alvin Kamara (Tennessee)
6. RB Joe Mixon (Oklahoma)
7. QB Joshua Dobbs (Tennessee)
8. QB Brad Kaaya (Miami)
9. CB Jourdan Lewis (Michigan)
10. DE Charles Harris (Missouri)
11. DT Caleb Brantley (Florida)
12. S Eddie Jackson (Alabama)
13. CB Marlon Humphrey (Alabama)
14. TE Evan Engram (Ole Miss)
15. RB Leonard Fournette (LSU)
16. DL Malik McDowell (Michigan State)
17. S Jamal Adams (LSU)
18. LB Jarrad Davis (Florida)
19. CB Teez Tabor (Florida)
20. DE Derek Barnett (Tennessee)

Lol

Do you have your top prospect lists from previous years? I assume you'd want to see how your picks pan out against the actual draft.

 

[sanddune50]

More like the old Jones waiting and hoping for scraps to fall from the table where Bama, UGA, and LSU are fighting it out for the best players.

Conliffe is scraps? Not really in tune with recruiting this season are you? (rhetorical question)

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Not considering the teams, I would take Barnett or Allen number 1. There isn't really a QB that excites me too much in this class. I wouldn't draft Garrett till the second round, too many questions regarding his production and durability. Fournette and Cook would be my first two RBs taken, no surprise there. I'd have Kamara third tho. Think he is vastly underrated. Mike Williams is a top 10 pick. Those are just a few of my thoughts. I say that with the admission that I watch very little outside of the SEC unless it's a big game.

No Jabrill Peppers?

 

[butchna]

What's the connection to CBJ here other than maybe Blackburn?

The two are in a barbershop quartet with Shoop and Scott. :whistling:

I'm sorry, I just can't resist... You think that 3 of the best 7 players in this draft are Vols? It seems like that's that's the case.

If so, one of two things is happening:

1) You are wildly overrating players from the team you support (except for Barnett, weirdly).

OR

2) Every single GM, scout, and analyst just so happened to make the EXACT SAME MISTAKE in undervaluing these 3 guys. Not only that (and here's where it gets spooky), these 3 future HOFers JUST SO HAPPENED to play for our beloved 9-4 Volunteers. Not only that, but you JUST SO HAPPENED to watch hours and hours of film on every single one of them. What luck! What sheer, fantastic luck! I can't imagine your glee, when one night around 4 am you realized during Hour 9 of film study of the TTU game that you were in fact watching 75% of the future NFL Mt. Rushmore!



Orrrr maybe you're a regular fan, and it's #1.

Here's what's funny. He'll be on here week 8 of next years NFL season pounding his chest for the 2-3 that pan out while leaving those that don't out of the conversation.

Then call Kiper and Mayock morAns for every prospect they miss on.

Sticky this and let's revisit it after the NFL draft.

 

[Mike4Vols]

Please stop quoting the village idiot.

D4H

 

[ShowSomePride]

Honestly going to have to agree. As a pure football player, Mixon is one of the top rbs in the country. He's unreal..

I love that Derek Barnett is going to give me a new reason to watch the NFL again..+ AK, JRM, Cam and Malone.

Seems legit

I bet it goes down exactly like this

 

[ShowSomePride]

He did say those players are who thinks are the best, not the order in which they are drafted.

 

[JAllen18]

Excited to see Dobbs in the Senior bowl.

I think his stock will rise considerably.
He's had a better college career than Dak Prescott.

 

[Catbone]

True

 

[Darth_Shiveman]

There are two end result options for Butch and these hires.

He has a new AD coming in that did not hire him which is nerve racking for coaches.

A. He hires the names listed that the fans are not crazy about and makes the fans eat crow.

B. He hires the names listed the fans are not crazy about and falls flat on his face. This would be bad considering the AD situation.

These are the most important hires in his coaching career.

For some reason I'm not getting worked up over these hires. Maybe it's just me.

if only it were all actually that simple

 

[jspvol76]

Excited to see Dobbs in the Senior bowl.

I think his stock will rise considerably.

Really sad the way the season went for him with wins and losses. Could have been in Heisman talk.

If your evaluations and "breaking down film" involve youtube highlight mixes and Jegerns like D4H's do, then yeah definitely #1.



Gotta give it to the guy though, his ability to look at twitter pictures of guys with their shirts off and determine their ceilings as football players is next level

 

[Darth_Shiveman]

So the guy we had coaching QBs last season is now the RB coach at CMU and the guy who had the title of QB coach is working with TEs, not QBs, at Indiana now.

Is Bruin around anywhere to tell us how fine we were at QB coach?
