201–225 of 377
so this leads us to top five quarterbacks... for ME i Have Matthew stafford at number one... i have him at number two... That's Pat mahomes at number three... i Got Joe burrow in this Spot... i have him at four... at five for ME... that Is Drake May
If I had to rank him right now in the division, I'd probably say I'd go one, Trevor Lawrence. Two you know... But I don't know if it's CJ or Daniel Jones... I'd probably put CJ ahead of him for that.
Who do you want first? Josh Allen, I want... Lamar second. I'd take Lamar second. Ahead of Mahomes? Yep.
Connolly's picks across the NFL Daily 32 edge rusher draft: Myles Garrett (1), Micah Parsons (3), Danielle Hunter (5), Nik Bonitto (7), Abdul Carter (9), T.J. Watt (11), Trey Hendrickson (13), Josh Sweat (15), Jaelan Phillips (17), Laiatu Latu (19), Yaya Diaby (21), Tuli Tuipulotu (23), Byron Young (25), DeMarcus Lawrence (27), Jalon Walker (29), Reuben Bain (31)
Rosenthal's picks across the NFL Daily 32 edge rusher draft: Will Anderson (2), Aiden Hutchinson (4), Nick Bosa (6), Josh Hines Allen (8), Maxx Crosby (10), Jared Verse (12), Nick Herbig (14), Brian Burns (16), Jonathan Greenard (18), Alex Highsmith (20), Chase Young (22), Travon Walker (24), Jalyx Hunt (26), Greg Rousseau (28), Boye Mafe (30), Montez Sweat (32)
I would probably have to lean Mahomes, number one, still... But I'm gonna go Josh Allen. After him... I gotta go Joe Burrow... And then I'll go Matthew Stafford... And then I'll go Lamar Jackson
my order that I have written down is Mahomes and Allen... Then it's Jackson, Burrow, Stafford... Stafford, Allen, Jackson, Burrow, Mahomes, Darnold, May, Williams, Lawrence, and then Brock Purdy is at number 10.
Number one is Josh Allen... Patrick Mahomes would be number two... Number three Caleb Williams... number four... Justin Herbert. Number five, Matt Stafford... number six... Joe Burrow... Number seven. Lamar Jackson... Number eight Drake May... Number nine, the most disrespected player in the league, Jared Goff... and number ten... Sam Darnold
Top five most impactful off season additions to date presented by Hyundai... number five on the list... Mike Evans is number five... Number four on the list... Patrick Mahomes is gonna have Kenneth Walker the third... Number three on this list, what will Jalen Waddle look like in Denver?... Trent McDuffie is number two on this list... Number one, the most impactful off season edition is the Las Vegas Raiders reacquiring Max Crosby.

Who's your top five dbs of all time? ... Here's the three I'm gonna name Darrelle Reeves, Rendez Barber, Richard Sherman because I got a chance to work with all three
Waiting on the season to settle this.said May 5, 2026 My top five favorite NFL draft picks presented by Hyundai... Number five... Jennings Dunker... Number four... Oliva Venga Yoani... Number three... Fernando Mendoza... Number two... Caleb Downs... Number one on the list is a duo... Ur Bernard and Eli Heidenreich are number one.
Number 10. It's Makai Levin, Philadelphia Eagles... I'm putting David Bailey here... Number eight on the list is a guy who's taken fourth overall, Carnell Tate... Dylan Thieneman, I think, is going to have a role... Number six... I'm putting Fernando Mendoza here... Venga Yoani is number five... Mansour Delaine in Kansas City is number four... Number three is Sonny Styles... Caleb Downs... And then number one, my top NFL draftee who will live up to the billing... It's Jeremiah Love.
So Caleb Downs is my number three overall player.
I got DJ came out with his final top fifty draft prospects. It's out on NFL dot Com... Fernando Mendoza remains his number one, Jeremy I Love at two, Styles at three, David Bailey four, arvro Reese at five, Cardinal Tate six, Ruben Baines seven, Eight is Caleb Downs who moved up a spot. Mansell Delaine is nine, and Francis Mawanoa is ten.
So it's Mansour DeLayne, it's Jermall McCoy, it's Chris Johnson probably, and Colton Hood. Those are really your top four corners.
Harmon from reception perception has KC Concepcion at number two.
Matty did have Casey Concepcion as wide receivers three in his class with Mikayla in one, Karl Tate two, Jordan Tyson four, is how he had that.
So my number one edge is Ruben Bayne out of Miami, and I have first round grades on Reuben Bain, David Bailey out of Texas Tech, and Malachi Lawrence out of Central Florida... In terms of late first, early second round, I have Keldrick Falk out of Auburn and then Akeem Mesador out of Miami. Second round grades, Gabe Yakis or Aches out of Illinois... Zion Young out of Missouri, Cassius Howell out of Texas a and m, our Mason Thomas out of Oklahoma, TJ Parker out of Clemson... a late two early three on Deshaun Barham out of Michigan... third round grade out of Kieran Crawford out of Auburn and Joshua Joseph's out of Tennessee. Fourth round grades on Romello Height and Derek Moore... a late fourth, early fifth on Danny Dennis Sutton out of Penn State, and then a fifth round grade out of l on LT Overton out of Alabama.
The top guy in this year's NFL draft class that fits that profile, Cincinnati wide receiver, Jeff Caldwell coming in second. North Dakota state receiver, Bryce Lance... Georgia State's Ted Hurst is tenth. ... Mckay Lemon actually ended up coming in eleventh overall.
Sonny Styles is number one... And then Red Murdoch is number 14 out of Buffalo, late six, early seven in terms of where I value him.
CJ Allen versus Jacob Rodriguez versus Anthony Hill... I would actually stack them in that order... So I would put Allen there as number one... So I would put him too... So that's why I would probably put him third in that order.
Chris Brazzle the second... Jeremy Bernard from Alabama, square in that day two mix. Ted Hurst might be my my number one guy of that group. And I love Brazel too... those guys, like, if they're there at 52... less less Bernard, but more Hearst and Brazel
That's the list right now. Omar Cooper junior, Makai Lemon, Casey Concepcion, Denzel Boston, Skyler Bell, Ted Hurst, Zachariah Branch, Caleb Douglas, Chris Bell, Chris Brasel, Jeremy Bernard, Malachi Fields... That's how Croc ranks them today.
Carnell Tait is my sixth player in Monroe. Freeling is my twentieth player.
I've got Mauiinoa first, then Venga, who's a guard... Spencer Fano I have... Then I've got Blake Miller, who's a right tackle, and then Monroe Freeling.
