So there you are, with my first Top 50 listing. I still have lots of prospect review work to do. So you can expect some shuffling within this 26-50 list in the next couple of weeks.
I would remind you all that my rankings are slightly weighted, primarily based on the value of the positions these young men play. Needless to say, just by nature of the pro game these days, the QBs get a boost just by the importance of the position they play. RB lose a little clout because of the philosophy that they wear out sooner than just about any position on the roster. Which should tell you how talented I think BIJAN ROBINSON is to be sitting in my Top 10.
As the Pro Days and VFA signings wind down this week, I would anticipate posting another First Round Mock this coming weekend.
Cheers, for now.
