Way Too Early Big Board

Player, Position, School (Height, Weight)

1. Will Anderson, EDGE, Alabama (6'4", 235)
2. CJ Stroud, QB, Ohio State (6'3, 218)
3. Jalen Carter, DL, Georgia (6'3", 310)
4. Jaxon Smith-Njigba, WR, Ohio State (6'0", 198)
5. Bryce Young, QB, Alabama (6'0, 194)

You’re probably wondering why Bryce Young is at No. 5 and it’s a very fair question. The answer - size and arm strength. No. 5 is something to be proud of and so is QB2 and obviously these are not final rankings. For now Stroud edges out Young.

Jalen Carter is another name you could be wondering about. Carter is an amazing 3-tech at Georgia and had it not been for Travon Walker, Jordan Davis and Devonte Wyatt (all first round picks), Carter would have been even more productive and made an even bigger name for himself in 2021. 2022 will be the year of Jalen Carter.

6. Eli Ricks, CB, Alabama (6'2", 195)
7. Bryan Bresee, DL, Clemson (6'5", 300)
8. Bijan Robinson, RB, Texas (6'0", 220)
9. Kayshon Boutte, WR, LSU (6'0, 205)
10. Myles Murphy, EDGE, Clemson (6'5", 275)
11. Paris Johnson Jr, OT, Ohio State (6'6", 315)

Putting a running back this high is a little crazy but that’s what Bijan does to me. Robinson is a complete running back with power, hands and agility.

Myles Murphy and Brian Bresee were wrecking ACC teams as freshman but injuries struck in 2021. I look for these two to once again dominate the ACC.

12. Kelee Ringo, CB, Georgia (6'2", 205)
13. Michael Mayer, TE, Notre Dame (6'4", 250)
14. Nolan Smith, EDGE, Georgia (6'3, 235)
15. Broderick Jones, OT, Georgia (6'4", 315)
16. Jordan Addison, WR, Pitt (6'0, 175)
17. Brandon Joseph, S, Notre Dame (6'1", 192)
18. Malachi Moore, CB, Alabama (6'0" 190)
19. Tony Grimes, CB, North Carolina (6'1", 197)
20. BJ Ojulari, EDGE, LSU (6'3 245)
21. Zion Nelson, OT, Miami 6'5" 316)
22. Arik Gilbert, TE, Georgia (6'5" 248)
23. Peter Skoronski, OT, Northwestern (6'4" 294)
24. Jalen Catalon, S, Arkansas (5'10", 199)
25. Trenton Simpson, LB, Clemson (6'3, 225)
