As you read through draft prospect rankings, you’re bound to notice that they vary widely. It’s hard to know which one to believe. So we’ve made it possible for you to see how a consensus of analysts views this year’s NFL Draft prospects.
We started with top 200 rankings from five sources — ESPN, Pro Football Focus, CBS Sports, Pro Football Network and Draftek — and then averaged them. The top 100 results are shown here.
On both Friday and Saturday, we’ll publish new top-100 lists that show only the players still available. So as you watch the draft unfold for the Kansas City Chiefs, keep an eye on these rankings.
Below the table, you’ll find some fun facts about the combined rankings.
The first column shows each player’s current rank, followed by their ranking prior to the NFL Combine. The second column shows their position — and their ranking within it. Then the third column has the player’s name, school and their range of rankings in the five lists.

A total of 279 players were listed in the five prospect rankings we used. As you would expect, there was a lot of variance between them — in fact, the five rankings didn’t even agree on the top overall player. Three named Alabama EDGE Will Anderson Jr., while the other two went with Crimson Tide quarterback Bryce Young.
This year, all but two of the top 100 players were listed on all five top 200 lists. A total of 132 players appeared on all five rankings. 34 players made four of the lists, 28 were listed on three, 35 appeared on two and 50 showed up on just one. (For the purposes of our average rankings, players who weren’t on a particular top 200 ranking were calculated as if they were 201st on that list).
Here’s how many players made at least one of the lists for each position — along with the percentage of players for that position who are ranked within the first three rounds.
- Quarterback 12 (42%)
- Tackle 24 (42%)
- Guard 16 (13%)
- Center 6 (50%)
- Tight end 16 (38%)
- Running back 20 (35%)
- Wide receiver 39 (41%)
- Defensive tackle 18 (44%)
- Edge rusher 44 (41%)
- Linebacker 19 (32%)
- Cornerback 39 (44%)
- Safety 25 (28%)
- Placekicker (0 - 0%)
- Punter (1 - 0%)
