NFL Draft 2018: Updated ranking of the top 32 draft prospects entering Week 11
The season is winding down for the top 32 NFL Draft prospects heading into Week 11 of the college football season.
It’s hard to believe that Week 11 of the college football season is already here, but alas the regular season is quickly racing to a close. Teams are fighting for their bowl lives, and for a select few, their playoff ones. For the top NFL Draft prospects, this is the biggest time of the regular season.
With everything on the line in the coming weeks, there is no better time to be a standout on the gridiron. By this point in the season, everyone knows who the top players are and have already began speculating about which players their favorite pro teams can select.
Week 11 features some big battles among playoff contenders and that means some of the best draft prospects are going to be on display under a national spotlight. Here are the top 32 draft prospects heading into Week 11.
Micah Kiser
LB, Virginia
What a bounce-back week for the Virginia Cavaliers. After two losses in a row seemingly had the Cavaliers headed toward a collapse. Instead, the team locked in and put forth an emotional effort against Virginia Tech.
In the win, the Cavaliers became bowl eligible and picked up a win in what has been a surprise season for the team. Defensively, it all started with their star linebacker that brought the intensity and momentum.
Micah Kiser was a beast and was all over the field. He led the way with 18 total tackles and was an absolute machine. Anywhere the ball went, Kiser was there making the tackle and leaving an impression on the field.
He dropped in these rankings last week because of the strong play of others at the same position. However, he’s proving that he’s just as talented. Let’s see how he responds after a monster week this week.
Dorance Armstrong
DE, Kansas
It’s a very rare occasion when the Kansas Jayhawks have a game near the end of the year against a program with a worse record than them. However, that was the case this past week when they took on the Baylor Bears.
And in true Kansas fashion, the Jayhawks let the Bears dominate them. It was an ugly week on all sides of the ball. Dorance Armstrong had a quiet day on the stat sheet but he was getting plenty of attention from the offensive line.
He finished the afternoon with three tackles and one for a loss. Again, the record of his team shouldn’t affect his draft stock in anyway at all. He’s a phenomenal pass rushing talent that teams are going to chase after.
His length and size make him fit the mold of the player that every team is trying to lock down at the next level. At this point, it’s all about finishing the season strong and getting ready for draft prep.
