Rookie Ranks are a tricky thing before the NFL Draft. On the one hand, rookies can’t really be given a value until we know their landing spot (if they are drafted at all). But what we can do is rank these rookies relative to each other based on their college production, talent and combine performances. This is not their final value, but it is a starting point for post-draft rank. After the NFL Draft I will release updated ranks taking the draft into account.
Until then, I’m releasing these ranks for you to consider. These are my own subjective ranks after reading and listening to many sources. They were decided only after reviewing several rankings I trust and running the player’s through my own statistical model combining Dominator Rating, Breakout Age, and Height-Adjusted Speed Score (HASS).
