Pre-NFL Scouting Combine Big Board
Take a look inside to see who the top-100 prospects in the 2016 NFL draft are.
1. Laremy Tunsil, Ole Miss, Offensive Tackle
2. Ezekiel Elliot, Ohio State, Running Back
3. Jalen Ramsey, Florida State, Cornerback/Safety
4. Joey Bosa, Ohio State, Edge Defender
5. Myles Jack, UCLA, Off-Ball Linebacker
6. Noah Spence, Eastern Kentucky, Edge Defender
7. DeForest Buckner, Oregon, Interior Defensive Lineman
8. Laquon Treadwell, Ole Miss, Wide Receiver
9. Jaylon Smith, Notre Dame, Off-Ball Linebacker,
10. Ronnie Stanley, Notre Dame, Offensive Tackle
11. Vernon Hargreaves III, Florida, Cornerback
12. Sterling Shepherd, Oklahoma, Wide Receiver
13. Shaq Lawson, Clemson, Edge Defender
14. Sheldon Rankings, Louisville, Interior Defensive Lineman
15. Reggie Ragland, Alabama, Off-Ball Linebacker
16. Darian Thomspon, Boise State, Safety
17. Michael Thomas, Ohio State, Wide Receiver
18. Andrew Billings, Baylor, Interior Defensive Lineman
19. Cody Whitehair, Kansas State, Offensive Guard
20. Darron Lee, Ohio State, Off-Ball Linebacker
Analysis:
Laremy Tunsil is the clear top prospect in this draft class. He has everything you want in an offensive tackle and he has the potential to be groomed into an All-Pro. Noah Spence may be the most surprising player in the top-five because of his off-field issues, but can’t deny his talent on the field. Sterling Shepherd may be another surprise, but he is the most well-rounded receiver in this draft despite what his size may tell you.
21. Kentrell Brothers, Missouri, Off-Ball Linebacker
22. Kevin Dodd, Clemson, Edge Defender
23. William Jackson III, Houston, Cornerback
24. Taylor Decker, Ohio State, Offensive Tackle
25. Kenneth Dixon, Louisiana Tech, Running Back
26. Robert Nkemdiche, Ole Miss, Interior Defensive Lineman
27. Ronald Blair, Akron, Edge Defender
28. Mackensie Alexander, Clemson, Cornerback
29. Jonathon Bullard, Interior Defensive Lineman
30. Josh Doctson, TCU, Wide Receiver
31. Corey Coleman, Baylor, Wide Receiver
32. Nick Kelly, Alabama, Center
33. Hassan Ridgeway, Texas, Defensive Tackle
34. Jared Goff, California, Quarterback
35. Will Fuller, Notre Dame, Wide Receiver
36. Hunter Henry, Arkansas, Tight End
37. Joshua Garnett, Stanford, Offensive Guard
38. Vernon Butler, Louisiana Tech, Interior Defensive Lineman
39. Carson Wentz, North Dakota State, Quarterback
40. Tyler Boyd, Pittsburgh, Wide Receiver
Analysis:
The first two quarterbacks finally make the big board as Jared Goff and Carson Wents find a spot in the 30’s. The reality of the situation is that this quarterback class doesn’t have a single player that can step in and be a productive day-one starter like Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota last year. Robert Nkemdiche is the big wild card as he has top-10 talent, but you don’t see that consistently on the field. Ronald Blair is a small-school stud who will get a lot more attention as the process plays out.
41. Shilique Calhoun, Michigan State, Edge Defender
42. Chris Jones, Mississippi State, Interior Defensive Lineman
43. Landon Turner, North Carolina, Offensive Guard
44. Rashard Higgins, Colorado State, Wide Receiver
45. Austin Johnson, Penn State, Interior Defensive Lineman
46. Kendall Fuller, Virginia Tech, Cornerback
47. Eli Apple, Ohio State, Cornerback
48. Su’a Cravens, USC, Off-Ball Linebacker/Safety
49. Jack Conklin, Michigan State, Offensive Tackle/Guard
50. Jordan Howard, Indiana, Running Back
51. Emmanuel Ogbah, Oklahoma State, Edge Defender
52. Kenny Clark, UCLA, Interior Defensive Lineman
53. Pharoah Cooper, South Carolina, Wide Receiver
54. Vonn Bell, Ohio State, Safety
55. Xavien Howard, Baylor, Cornerback
56. Joshua Perry, Ohio State, Off-Ball Linebacker
57. A’Shawn Robinson, Alabama, Interior Defensive Lineman
58. Nick Martin, Notre Dame, Offensive Guard, Center
59. Paxton Lynch, Memphis, Quarterback
60. Paul Perkins, UCLA, Running Back
Analysis:
Rashard Higgins is an underrated receiver who, like Shepherd, is a well-rounded wide receiver. He doesn’t have the ability to win at every level like Shepherd, but he still wins in a large variety of areas. A’Shawn Robinson gets a ton of top-20 publicity, but he doesn’t consistently win as a pass-rusher and he’s not nearly the run defender that his teammate, Jarran Reed is. Paxton Lynch checks in at No. 59, which is extremely low, but he is the classic case of high ceiling but low floor.
61. Braxton Miller, Ohio State, Wide Receiver
62. Max Tuerk, USC, Center
63. Adolphus Washington, Ohio State, Interior Defensive Lineman
64. Jordan Jenkins, Georgia, Edge Defender
65. Devontae Booker, Utah, Running Back
66. Shon Coleman, Auburn, Offensive Tackle
67. Leonard Floyd, Georgia, Edge Defender/Off-Ball Linebacker
68. Maliek Collins, Nebraska, Interior Defensive Lineman
69. Alex Collins, Arkansas, Running Back
70. Deion Jones, LSU, Off-Ball Linebacker
71. Derrick Henry, Alabama, Running Back
72. German Ifedi, Texas A&M, Offensive Tackle/Guard
73. Artie Burns, Miami, Cornerback
74. Karl Joseph, West Virginia, Safety
75. Yannick Ngakoue, Maryland, Edge Defender
76. Kenny Lawler, California, Wide Reciever
77. DJ Reader, Clemson, Interior Defensive Lineman
78. Jalen Mills, LSU, Cornerback, Safety
79. Rees Odhiambo, Boise State, Offensive Guard
80. Kamalei Correa, Boise State, Edge Defender
Analysis:
Braxton Miller is a hard player to wrap your head around. He is one of, if not, the most athletic players in this draft class, but he is lacking in the nuances of playing receiver. Derrick Henry’s production in the NFL will come down to where he goes. If he goes somewhere that utilizes his skillset well, he will prosper. If not, he will be another great college player who didn’t pan out in the NFL.
81. Dominque Alexander, Oklahoma, Off-Ball Linebacker
82. Sean Davis, Maryland, Cornerback/Safety
83. Jonathan Williams, Arkansas, Running Back
84. Javon Hargrave, South Carolina State, Interior Defensive Lineman
85. Jeremy Cash, Duke, Hybrid Safety/Linebacker
86. Cyrus Jones, Alabama, Cornerback/Return Man
87. Le’Raven Clark, Texas Tech, Offensive Tackle
88. Jack Allen, Michigan State, Offensive Guard/Center
89. Willie Henry, Michigan, Interior Defensive Lineman
90. Kyler Fackrell, Utah State, Edge Defender
91. Kelvin Taylor, Florida, Running Back
92. Nick Vannett, Ohio State, Tight End
93. Jason Spriggs, Indiana, Offensive Tackle
94. Jerald Hawkins, LSU, Offensive Tackle
95. Vadal Alexander, LSU, Offensive Guard
96. Keanu Neal, Florida, Safety
97. Denver Kirkland, Arkansas, Offensive Tackle
98. Rashard Robinson, LSU, Cornerback
99. Carl Nassib, Penn State, Edge Defender
100. Leonte Carroo, Rutgers, Wide Receiver
Analysis:
Javon Hargrave is a very underrated defensive tackle who has great movement skills and he can plug gaps against the run. The most intriguing player in this draft is former disgruntled LSU star Rashard Robinson. He was suspended indefinitely from LSU in 2014 and has played anywhere since; however, when he was on the field, he showed the talent of a first-round player. If he never got suspended, he could possibly be the top player in this draft class.
