Draft day is practically here. I have thrown myself into draft prep in the midst of the coronavirus shutdown. This is a really amazing draft class to dive into as well. It might be the greatest receiver class in recent memory. There are some special playmakers on defense and a good crop of offensive tackles. It isn’t a bad year to need a quarterback either.

I will definitely have some surprises compared to the consensus here, but that’s what makes big boards worth reading. I know I am a bit higher on Michael Pittman, Bradlee Anae and Tyler Biadasz, whereas I am definitely a lot lower on K.J. Hamler, Raekwon Davis and CJ Henderson. With my final mock draft dropping tomorrow, I am just about ready to sit back and just watch the draft unfold! Here are my top 150 prospects for Thursday’s draft. I have noted along the way where I stopped giving out grades for each round. I am well aware that I have fewer first-round prospects than there are first round picks, but I also have way more second and third-round grades than there are picks.

1. Chase Young, EDGE, Ohio State
2. Jeff Okudah, CB, Ohio State
3. Isaiah Simmons, LB/S, Clemson
4. Jerry Jeudy, WR, Alabama
5. Joe Burrow, QB, LSU
6. Javon Kinlaw, DL, South Carolina
7. Tristan Wirfs, OT, Iowa
8. Tua Tagovailoa, QB, Alabama
9. CeeDee Lamb, WR, Oklahoma
10. Henry Ruggs, WR, Alabama
11. Andrew Thomas, OT, Georgia
12. Jedrick Wills, OT, Alabama
13. Justin Jefferson, WR, LSU
14. Derrick Brown, DL, Auburn
15. Mekhi Becton, OT, Louisville
16. Justin Herbert, QB, Oregon
17. Xavier McKinney, S, Alabama
18. Tee Higgins, WR, Clemson
19. K’Lavon Chaisson, EDGE, LSU
20. J.K. Dobbins, RB, Ohio State
21. Josh Jones, OT, Houston
22. Patrick Queen, LB, LSU
23. A.J. Epenesa, DL, Iowa
24. Bryce Hall, CB, Virginia
25. Kenneth Murray, LB, Oklahoma
26. Yetur Gross-Matos, EDGE, Penn State
27. CJ Henderson, CB, Florida
28. D’Andre Swift, RB, Georgia
29. Zach Baun, LB, Wisconsin (End of round 1 grades)
    This cut off feels right for me. After this point, I start to feel a bit less confident in any number of things that makes me feel like taking this player in the first round is not worth the pick. If I am on the clock at pick 30 and all 29 of these players are gone. I am looking to move down.
30. Ross Blacklock, DL, TCU
31. Grant Delpit, S, LSU
32. Jeff Gladney, CB, TCU
33. Michael Pittman Jr., WR, USC
34. Cesar Ruiz, C, Michigan
35. Trevon Diggs, CB, Alabama
36. Austin Jackson, OT, USC
37. Clyde Edwards-Helaire, RB, LSU
38. Neville Gallimore, DL, Oklahoma
39. Jordan Love, QB, Utah State
40. Noah Igbinoghene, CB, Auburn
41. Denzel Mims, WR, Baylor
42. Matt Hennessy, OL, Temple
43. Kristian Fulton, CB, LSU
44. Brandon Aiyuk, WR, Arizona State
45. Antoine Winfield Jr., S, Minnesota
46. Lucas Niang, OT, TCU
47. Lloyd Cushenberry, OL, LSU
48. Laviska Shenault, WR, Colorado
49. Kyle Dugger, S, Lenoir Rhyne
50. Jaylon Johnson, CB, Utah
51. Josh Uche, EDGE, Michigan
52. Tyler Biadasz, C, Wisconsin
53. Chase Claypool, WR, Notre Dame
54. Jeremy Chinn, S, Southern Illinois
55. Curtis Weaver, EDGE, Boise State
56. John Simpson, G, Clemson
57. Cole Kmet, TE, Notre Dame
58. Jalen Reagor, WR, TCU
59. Bradlee Anae, EDGE, Utah
60. Marlon Davidson, DL, Auburn
61. Ashtyn Davis, S, Cal
62. Ben Bartch, OT, St. John (Minn.)
63. A.J. Terrell, CB, Clemson
64. Julian Okwara, EDGE, Notre Dame
65. Donovan Peoples-Jones, WR, Michigan
66. Prince Tega Wanogho, OT, Auburn
67. Troy Pride, CB, Notre Dame
68. Jonathan Taylor, RB, Wisconsin (End of round 2 grades)
    I think there are going to be a few players worth spending a second round pick on that slip into the third. This second round is loaded with corners and receivers and it would not be a surprise to me to see a run on one or both position groups to happen during the round.
69. Justin Mandubuike, DL, Texas A&M
70. Adam Trautman, TE, Dayton
71. Cam Akers, RB, Florida State
72. Damon Arnette, CB, Ohio State
73. Amik Robertson, CB, Louisiana Tech
74. Jordyn Brooks, LB, Texas Tech
75. Jalen Hurts, QB, Oklahoma
76. Malik Harrison, LB, Ohio State
77. Devin Duvernay, WR, Texas
78. Cameron Dantzler, CB, Mississippi State
79. Robert Hunt, OL, Louisiana
80. Troy Dye, LB, Oregon
81. Leki Fotu, DL, Utah
82. Darrell Taylor, EDGE, Tennessee
83. Terrell Burgess, S, Utah
84. Larrell Murchison, DL, North Carolina State
85. Van Jefferson, WR, Florida
86. Jacob Eason, QB, Washington
87. Kenny Willekes, EDGE, Michigan State
88. K’Von Wallace, S, Clemson
89. Thaddeus Moss, TE, LSU
90. Terrell Lewis, EDGE, Alabama
91. Eno Benjamin, RB, Arizona State
92. Ben Bredeson, OL, Michigan
93. K.J. Hill, WR, Ohio State
94. Matt Peart, OT, UConn
95. Jonah Jackson, OL, Ohio State
96. Isaiah Wilson, OT, Georgia
97. Logan Wilson, LB, Wyoming,
98. Ezra Cleveland, OT, Boise State
99. Davon Hamilton, DL, Ohio State
100. Jake Fromm, QB, Georgia
101. Brycen Hopkins, TE, Purdue
102. Collin Johnson, WR, Texas
103. Jonathan Grennard, EDGE, Florida
104. Tyler Johnson, WR, Minnesota
105. James Lynch, DL, Baylor (End of round 3 grades)
     There is a ton of third round talent available. 38 players by my estimation. This is definitely my cut off for players I would look to target on the first two days of the draft. I debated making the cut after Grennard, but Johnson and Lynch had such great years that it would be hard for me to pass on them if they were sitting there at the end of round three.
106. Logan Stenberg, OL, Kentucky
107. Jordan Elliott, DL, Missouri
108. Bryan Edwards, WR, South Carolina
109. Solomon Kindley, OL, Georgia
110. Trevon Hill, EDGE, Miami
111. K.J. Hamler, WR, Penn State
112. Raekwon Davis, DL, Alabama
113. Evan Weaver, LB, California
114. Gabriel Davis, WR, UCF
115. Darrynton Evans, RB, Appalachian State
116. Akeem Davis-Gaither, LB, Appalachian State
117. Jason Strowbridge, DL, UNC
118. Julian Blackmon, S, Utah
119. Willie Gay Jr., LB, Mississippi State
120. Lynn Bowden, WR, Kentucky
121. Ke’Shawn Vaughn, RB, Vanderbilt
122. Josiah Deguara, TE, Cincinnati
123. Quintez Cephus, WR, Wisconsin
124. A.J. Green, CB, Oklahoma State
125. Francis Bernard, LB, Utah
126. Tanner Muse, S, Clemson
127. David Woodward, LB, Utah State
128. Shadiq Charles, OT, LSU
129. Khalid Kareem, EDGE, Notre Dame
130. Darnay Holmes, CB, UCLA
131. Alohi Gilman, S, Notre Dame
132. Isaiah Hodgins, WR, Oregon State
133. Javelin Guidry, CB, Utah
134. Alex Highsmith, EDGE, Charlotte
135. Rashard Lawrence, DL, LSU
136. Damien Lewis, OL, LSU
137. Hunter Bryant, TE, Washington
138. Netane Muti, OL, Fresno State
139. Nick Harris, OL, Washington
140. Quartney Davis, WR, Texas A&M
141. Anthony Gordon, QB, Washington State
142. Alton Robinson, EDGE, Syracuse
143. Harrison Bryant, TE, FAU
144. Nick Coe, EDGE, Auburn
145. James Proche, WR, SMU
146. Zach Moss, RB, Utah
147. Brandon Jones, S, Texas
148. Dane Jackson, CB, Pittsburgh (End of round 4 grades)
     This is where we start to get into players who can contribute on special teams or potentially have some red flags that pushed them down draft boards. The final three rounds are where we see teams start to take more risks on players from small schools or with unique physical traits they hope to develop.
149. A.J. Dillon, RB, Boston College
150. Antonio Ganady-Golden, WR, Liberty

So that’s my top 150 prospects! That should get you through at least the first two days of the draft. It is easy to get lost scrolling through that many names, so let’s break it down by position.

And lastly, as a fun bonus, here is how I think each position group stacks up.

1. Wide Receiver
   Incredible top-end talent, tons of depth. This is the best year to need a receiver in a long time. You can definitely find starting quality receivers in the third and fourth rounds in this draft. Devin Duvernay is my 12th ranked receiver, and I really like Duvernay!
2. Offensive Tackle
   There has been a lot of talk about the top four tackles in this class. Honestly, I have a difficult time separating at least three of them. However, there are a couple of solid options beyond that quartet. The depth is not overwhelming, but there a number of interesting project players that should go in the middle rounds.
3. Quarterback
   Joe Burrow stands head and shoulders above the rest. Tua Tagovailoa brings his injury concerns to the table, but comparison to Drew Brees feel apt. Justin Herbert checks all the boxes physically. If a coach can bring him up to speed on reading a defense and making the right decisions, he will thrive. In Jordan Love, some see Patrick Mahomes and others see JaMarcus Russell. He has tons of arm talent. I think comparing him to Josh Allen feels right.
4. Defensive Tackle
   Javon Kinlaw and Derrick Brown headline this class, but there is a lot of depth. I have round three or better grades on 11 interior defensive linemen. Whether you need a nose tackle, a three-tech or a five-tech, just about every team can find the right fit for their system.
5. Edge Rusher
   Chase Young is the cream of the crop, but there is a really wide gap between him and the rest of the class. The depth here is no inspiring. Most of this class comes with a lot of room to grow, or some major question marks about their ability to transition to the next level.
6. Running Back
   At one point, this running back class looked like one of the best position groups of the 2020 draft. Then Travis Etienne, Najee Harris and Chuba Hubbard all returned to school, robbing this class of a lot of it’s depth. With no elite prospect to carry this group like an Ezekiel Elliott or Saquon Barkley, it’s solid, but unspectacular.
7. Cornerback
   Much like the edge rushers, there is one great prospect at the top from Ohio State, and then a drop off. I’m not as high on CJ Henderson as most. The drop off from Okudah to Bryce Hall is steep. There a decent number of purely nickle corners, which I think hurts the overall depth of the group. There will be some solid starters to come out of the group, but the impact might take a few years to be felt.
8. Linebacker
   Isaiah Simmons is an elite prospect, but does he really count as a linebacker. I think that is probably his best fit, so let’s say yes. Patrick Queen and Kenneth Murray earn first-round grades, but there is a massive drop from there. 49 spots to be exact. There are some interesting developmental options in the third and fourth rounds, but this group is lacking in proven talent.
9. Safety
   This group is pretty thin even if you did include Isaiah Simmons as a safety. Xavier McKinney and Grant Delpit could end up in round one. There are a couple of small school studs in Kyle Dugger and Jeremy Chinn as well. Antoine Winfield Jr. is a wildcard as well given his size. Overall, I don’t think this is a great year to be looking for safety help.
10. Interior Offensive Lineman
    This is a rough year for interior offensive line help. No one earned a first round grade from me and I don’t think I am alone in that conclusion. There is a run that should happen early in round two and some potential depth. It doesn’t help that the draft often doesn’t value the position, but I am unimpressed.
11. Tight End
    I am not a fan of this tight end class. I don’t have a single one of them ranked in the top 50. There is some interesting depth down the line, but most of these guys are developmental prospects. I am not buying the ceiling on most of these players.
