This is a year-round NFL Draft site. As such, now would be a good time to release our first 2011 rankings.
2011 NFL Draft top 75
After the jump, you’ll find our initial top 75 overall players. This list will be very fluid throughout the summer as we go back and re-watch games from last year with a specific eye on juniors and sophomores.
I encourage all of you to pick this list apart and offer your own. That’s what this site is all about: informing and educating each other about the pro prospects of college football’s top players. An asterisk next to a player means they are a junior.
This initial ranking does not include redshirt sophomores. That means Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck and Virginia Tech running back Ryan Williams are not included.
Small-school players like Grambling defensive end Christian Anthony weren’t included. I’m not going to act like I know a ton about small-school guys, but will research them more leading up to the start of the season.
