2019 NFL DRAFT TOP JUNIORS, SOPHOMORES TO WATCH

 

We just released our top 300 seniors and now are looking at our top 150 juniors and 25 sophomores to keep an eye on for this fall. These players we feel could potentially declare early and while this is early and other players will have a breakout year, this gives an idea of where NFL teams should be putting some effort to prepare for the early entries.

 

Houston defensive tackle Ed Oliver has already announced he will declare for the 2019 NFL Draft and there are many others we expect to be slam dunk entries such as Alabama’s Raekwon Davis and Jonah Williams, Arizona State’s N’Keal Harry, Clemson’s Clelin Ferrell and Dexter Lawrence, Ohio State’s Nick Bosa and Dremont Jones, Michigan’s Rashan Gary, Auburn’s Jarrett Stidham, Mississippi’s Greg Little and A.J. Brown, among many others.

 

We usually don’t look at the underclassmen but with over 100 coming out early every year it only makes sense to focus on these groups.

 

Hopefully many of these players will only declare if given a 1st or 2nd round projection from the NFL Advisory Board. You will notice we did not put a round next to these guys because we don’t want to encourage any to come out.

 

Below is our very early look at who could be among the top names come January.
