NFL Draft Big Board: Top 50 NFL Draft prospects after bowl season
By Tony Pauline
11. Dwayne Haskins, QB, Ohio State
- Projected Round: 1
- Year: Third-year sophomore
Easily the top-rated quarterback in the draft. Showed great progressions throughout last season and came up big during the Buckeyes important games.
12. Deionte Thompson*, S, Alabama
- Projected Round: 1
- Year: Fourth-year junior
Another first-year starter on the Crimson Tide defense who defied expectations and now grades as a first round prospect.
13. Mack Wilson*, ILB, Alabama
- Projected Round: 1
- Year: Third-year junior
One of the more complete, three-down linebacker that will be available if he enters the draft.
14. Jachai Polite, OLB, Florida
- Projected Round: 1
- Year: Third-year junior
Explosive college pass rusher who will get consideration as both a one-gap end as well as a 3-4 outside linebacker.
15. Greg Little, OT, Mississippi
- Projected Round: 1
- Year: Third-year junior
Talented left tackle coming off a disappointing junior season which has scouts concerned.
16. Jaylon Ferguson, DE, Louisiana Tech
- Projected Round: 1
- Year: Fifth-year senior
Dominant pass rusher who broke the NCAA sack record of Terrell Suggs but Ferguson is bigger and faster than the former Arizona State star.
17. Daniel Jones, QB, Duke
- Projected Round: 1
- Year: Fourth-year junior
Smart, accurate passer with a great head for the game. Could vault up draft boards with good workouts before the draft.
18. Zach Allen, DE, Boston College
- Projected Round: 1
- Year: Fourth-year junior
An underrated defensive lineman who does everything well. Can line up at three different spots on the defensive line.
19. Byron Murphy, CB, Washington
- Projected Round: 1
- Year: Third-year sophomore
A polished cornerback with great ball skills but measures under 6-feet tall, which is a non-starter for many teams.
20. Dexter Lawrence*, DT, Clemson
- Projected Round: 1
- Year: Third-year junior
A big, dominant defensive tackle who controls the line of scrimmage when focused on the task at hand.
