Good Post.
1. Saquon Barkley
2. Bradley Chubb
3. Josh Rosen
4. Quenton Nelson
5. Roquan Smith
6. Derwin James
7. Minkah Fitzpatrick
8. Tremaine Edmunds
9. Josh Jackson
10. Baker Mayfield
Barkley is pretty much A+ in everything.
Chubb only lacks elite athleticism (bend,burst).
Rosen seems to be the most cerebral (understanding of scheme and concepts) and is consistently accurate on tape. A lot of his perceived off the field faults are pluses in my opinion. I like that he is involved in other things outside of football, some of them show critical thinking skills and that kind of 'never satisfied' type of personality which to me bodes well for a QB (breaking down film, etc), as long as you know that football is what he wants to master.
Nelson to me has the ability to wear down and eventually destroy the will of certain lines/lineman, but also will be susceptible to certain linemans' strengths, for a possible example, Aaron Donald.
Smith is a prototypical run and chase LB with + coverage skills, he may lack the size and stoutness to stack and shed like a true ILB, but his football intelligence is up there with the best of them, coming out.
I rate Derwin James above Minkah Fitzpatrick because, I think it will be easier for NFL offenses to create mismatches against Fitzpatrick. James will probably have a more defined/simplified role as a Box/Deep Safety whereas Fitzpatrick may be tasked to play all over FS/SS/NB/CB, giving offenses more opportunity to put him at a disadvantage.
Tremaine Edmunds can become an All Pro or become a Bust, he has the talent, it will just depend on where he goes and how that team deploys him. That can be said for every prospect, but I think it is obvious as to why it is more so with Edmunds.
These last 2 were a lot harder than I anticipated, I believe Jackson has the ability to be the next Marcus Peters (play-wise), and possibly better. Former WR attacks the ball like one. I think with good coaching he could develop into a Top 10 CB eventually.
Mayfield, I just think the guy executed the offense how you would want a QB to do in the NFL, if he was 6'4 230, he probably goes 1 or 2. Even now it's possible he can go Top 5, if his size doesn't prohibit him from executing an offense I think his floor is Andy Dalton and his ceiling is Steve Young. In context Steve Young's stats from his era into this era, without the Championships and roster. I just see a similar playing style, don't know how well it will translate nowadays.
