Having put together this list of prospects, it’s clear that the 2017 NFL Draft is absolutely loaded with talent from top to bottom. There are players that will be available in the third and fourth rounds that would normally get picked in the top 64 in other years.

This has the potential to be a special class of players, and it starts at the top with one of the better defensive prospects to come along in quite some time — Myles Garrett. After Garrett, there are some phenomenal players near the top, including a personal favorite of mine in Leonard Fournette.

This list is filled with game changers, but there are clear strengths and weaknesses. Let’s take a look at the top 100 players in the 2017 NFL Draft.
