Never too early to start looking ahead. So let's get the discussion started.
Looking at some of the early names on people's big boards, it feels like a fairly mediocre class compared to more recent seasons. Maybe that's because COVID robbed us from seeing as much football as we normally would, but I can't find a single returning prospect other other than Kayvon Thibodeaux that I think is an absolute lock to go in the top 5. Maybe Stingley if he gets back to the level he played at in 2019. His 2020, while good, was nothing special, and not really deserving of top 5.
Anyways, hopefully we're picking at No. 32, but for fun let's assume we're in the 28-32 range. Things will certainly change, but at this point, it seems like LB, G/C, WR, and TE will be our biggest needs.
Some guys I will follow this year include:
Ventrell Miller LB, UF
Devin Lloyd LB, Utah
Jalen Wydermyer TE, TAM
Justyn Ross WR, Clemson
Cade Mays G/T, Tennessee
Charlie Kolar TE, Iowa
Chris Olave WR, OSU
George Pickens WR, UGA
Garrett WIlson WR, OSU
John Metchie WR, Bama
Tyler Linderbaum G/C, Iowa
