2016 NFL Draft Top 32 Rankings
The 2015 regular season is about to pull the curtain, so it’s time to preview my top 32 prospects in college football. I don’t think there will be a whole lot of surprises in this one in terms of names but maybe in positioning.
Obviously I’m higher on guys like Shon Coleman, William Jackson and Desmond King than most so I’ll speak to those three in specific. As I mentioned in my Mock Draft 1.0, Shon Coleman is intriguing because I think he’s right up there with Laremy Tunsil as a prospect but his battle with leukemia leaves a bit of the unknown. If teams feel comfortable with his medical and he declares early, I could see him going in the top 10 – he’s had that kind of year. William Jackson is a guy that checks most every box of a top flight corner so I give him the nod over bigger names (Tre’Davious White). The same can be said for Iowa’s Desmond King. Both have been enormously productive in their collegiate careers and deserve to be in the talk with the second tier of corners in this class.
