As the calendar turns to October, the 2017 NFL Draft is now less than seven months away. There’s still a lot to be determined in terms of who’s declaring early and who will stay in school, with the final two months of the season having a big effect on that.

Until decisions are made, sit back and pay close attention to anyone who is eligible for the 2017 NFL Draft. Every week there are certain matchups scouts will be paying close attention to. Whether that’s a game between two of the top teams, or a one-on-one matchup between top prospects, all 32 NFL teams should be watching closely. Week six of the college football season is no exception.

The following players fall into one of those categories and will be expected to step up in order to help their school win. In doing so, their 2017 NFL Draft stock will receive a boost. If they struggle, their stock will take a hit.
