Here are the rankings with thoughts on some of the prospects below:

1. Leonard Williams, USC
Williams is young, tough, and above all big and versatile. He is probably going to be picked in the top three, hands down. 6’5 300 and very strong. Already in his “grown man” body. Whispers of character issues very overblown.

2. Eddie Goldman, Florida State
Has played some at end but at 320 the big man is best used at the tackle position. Fights at the point of attack, maintains his leverage and keeps position. Quietly saved FSU in many of their come from behind victories with his ability to stifle the inside run game.

3. Michael Bennett, Ohio State
Only ranked below Goldman because of his lack of Goldman/Williams’ size. Listed 6’2 288, very possibly shorter than that. Nice collection of swim moves and agile enough to get in the backfield & disrupt the passer.

4. Danny Shelton, Washington

5. Carl Davis, Iowa

The Rest:

6. Malcolm Brown, Texas

7. Gabe Wright, Auburn

8. Arik Armstead, Oregon

9. Christian Covington, Rice

10. Chucky Hunter, TCU
