These are players with a grade of 6.3 or higher. The list isn't complete and it usually changes quite a bit before the draft is held but there are a few things you can tell from the list. There are 21 front seven defensive players, 4 running backs, 8 wide receivers, and 8 offensive lineman.

Interesting they have Nolen rated over Graham. Also the kid from UCLA Schwesinger, is rated so high. There are a few others I find surprising but last year they came pretty close on some of their suprises in terms of when players were picked in the draft.

One thing, I am not a fan of Collins from Texas. I have seen him play a few times and he di not impress me as much as some of the other DTs in this draft. There is no way I would take in in the first two rounds, and there are a bunch of DTs I would take before him in round 3.

Was surprised too to see Nolen over Graham, by a good amount too. Could there be a chance Graham is the #2 DT off the boards by draft day?

Schwesinger is a guy I will root for, even be drafted by Dallas, simply due to him being a walk on and then playing great when given the chance.

I haven't studied too much yet. Here is the write up on Collins, it sounds like they don't think he's a finished product yet.

Overview​

Collins isn’t going to stand out in one particular area, but he plays hard and has outstanding physical traits to blend right into an NFL defensive rotation. He’s quick laterally to spoil landmarks for zone blockers and has the stride length to disrupt upfield if asked. He added mass in 2024 and was harder to move when his pad level was right, but he can be tardy to shed and tackle a gap over. He has the traits to become a more consistent NFL rusher but the production is still untapped. He’s not a premier playmaker but he has the size, talent and alignment versatility to help fortify a defensive front as an early contributor and future starter.

Strengths​

  • A+ body type with well-proportioned frame and premium length.
  • Responds instantly to mirror lateral steps by blockers.
  • Widens base and sets his anchor to beat back double teams.
  • At his best when allowed to stack blocks and man his gaps.
  • Long-arm move swims protection to access the edge.
  • Should become a more consistent bull-rusher with work.
  • Keeps eyes on quarterback and bats down passes.

this is the first time I have not seen Graham as the top DT. might question this some but who knows?
What is noticeable is Jeanty a clear #1 prospect which I had not seen before either. Only Carter at 7.0 and Jeanty at 7.15 are ranked as basically can't miss.

Collins came on late in the year last season...really made a leap. Now was that something that clicked or just a perfect combination of match ups. Not sure...but he seems to be a 1 man wrecking crew on their Dline
 
Nolen classic type of 3T we like,I have no problem if we draft him even if we keep Osa.

Wow Burden is a top 10 player, number 1 receiver and Jeanty is the number 1 player. Interesting…. Who makes these rankings?
 
How does Dallas get one guy from the DE, DT, LB, and RB groups in the first 4 rounds?...........LOL
I thought J Campbell was the best LB prospect??
 
Happens every dang year. Players I hope fall to us in the later rounds all of a sudden fly up the draft board.

Lol. Emmanwori is a safety. Most likely a strong safety. Probably not going to be an edge player except on the occasional blitz.

I'd be OK with Graham slipping to us, but I'd definitely take Nolen at 12 if he goes after Graham. This makes Nolen ... what? Tied as the sixth-best player?
 
A lot going on there, but what stands out is the LBs because I like all 3..

I think that grade is very low for Graham. I do however think its about right for Nolen. A good combine and he could be out of reach
