For this update of PFF’s draft board, individual conference analysts have joined forces to provide their unique perspective and analysis after grading every players on every play, in every game. Here’s a look at where the top NFL prospects stand:
1. Myles Garrett, Edge, Texas A&M
Garrett has occupied the top spot on this board since the October update and nothing in his play suggests that it’s likely to change anytime soon. A phenomenal pass-rusher, Garrett has averaged a pressure once every 6.1 pass rushing attempts this season, and has totaled 66 combined sacks and hits over the past three seasons. For any team looking for a defensive playmaker who can knock opposing quarterbacks to the ground, Garrett is going to be at the top of the wish list.
2. Jonathan Allen, DT, Alabama
As good as Garrett is on the edge, Allen is on the interior. A completely disruptive force on the inside, he has racked up eight sacks, 11 hits and 34 hurries on 332 pass rushing snaps, good for a pass rushing productivity rating of 12.6, ranking third among 3-4 defensive ends in college this year. He’s not limited to just being a pass-rusher though, and has added 28 tackles resulting in a defensive stop against the run, with his run stop percentage of 12.8 percent ranking second at the position.
3. Derek Barnett, Edge, Tennesssee
It’s an SEC 1-2-3 at the top of this draft class, with Barnett pushing Myles Garrett close for the nation’s top edge defender in each of the past two seasons. His 62 total pressures, including 12 sacks and 18 hits, from the defensive end position give him a pass rushing productivity rating of 14.9, good for the sixth-best mark at the position in college this year, while he has been a solid run defender in each of the past three seasons too.
4. Cordrea Tankersley, CB, Clemson
Press-man corners with shutdown potential are highly coveted in the modern NFL. Tankersley possesses all the traits to make him a defensive cornerstone at the next level. Although he has not made as many big plays this season, his reliability has overshadowed a lack of turnovers. In total, Tankersley has allowed only 23 catches for 236 yards, one touchdown, one interception and six pass deflections. With the desired production, size and athleticism, Tankersley ticks every box.
5. Corey Davis, WR, Western Michigan
Our love for Corey Davis is extensive and has long been documented, and that will not change even if he does not test out in February with elite speed numbers. He is the rare complete package at the position, as his size, route-running ability and competitiveness with the ball in the air makes him a dangerous target to all parts of the field, and his blocking ability far exceeds that of most of his power five conference counterparts. For his career he has caught 251 balls, has 44 touchdowns and has forced 41 missed tackles after the catch.
