Don't count out Derwin James if he excels at the combine he could sneak into the top 10
I'd say that Courtland Sutton has a higher chance of being top 10 than Kirk... my 2c
And I see Landry and Key being slotted into the same position (either DE for a 4/3 or an OLB for a 3/4)
Denzel Ward, Christian Wilkins, have a chance to go in the top 10..
Sutton is the only WR I can see maybe going in the top 10 (I could also see him falling to late first). The WR class is incredibly deep which will push players down similar to the RB class. If Ridley wasn't already 23 years old or had bigger/better hands or if Kirk was a little bigger or more productive, maybe they'd have a chance at going top 10, but Sutton is the only WR I think will go in the top 15. I'm not sold on the OTs in this year's class either, but this is a very good list!

Don't see Ward as Top 10 IMO but definitely a 1st rounder. Wilkins could however based on his combine numbers.
Nice list. Those 21 all have a shot at the top 10. Some much more likely but no point arguing. Positive takeaway, we'll have at least 10–12 of those guys to choose from at 9 or 10.

Key
Chubb
3-4 QB's
Nelson
Williams
Brown
Barkley
Fitzpatrick
Makes 10+

Great list! Being conservative with it. I would say 2 qb for sure, probably 3. Barkley makes 4. 1 WR is always a possibility - that is 5. Chubb, Key and a DB makes 8. I would guess at least 2 maybe 3 of those lineman as well.

Either way we get a real good player. If more QB or lineman go sooner - fine with me.
