Posted January 30, 20178 yr comment_1527954 I posted this in another thread but a few years ago I read an article about teams not ranking players 1-256. They rank players in tiers and draft accordingly. Thought I'd give the tier ranking a shot for the first round. Tier 1 DE Myles Garrett, Texas A&M DT Jonathan Allen, Alabama DE/DT Solomon Thomas, Stanford Tier 2 S Malik Hooker, OSU S Jamal Adams, Clemson RB Dalvin Cook, FSU RB Leonard Fournette, LSU Tier 3 LB Reuben Foster, Alabama CB Marshon Lattimore, OSU WR Mike Williams, Clemson TE O.J. Howard, Alabama Tier 4 QB Mitch Trubisky, North Carolina QB Deshaun Watson, Clemson DE Derek Barnett, Tennessee CB Teez Tabor, Florida WR Corey Davis, Western Michigan OT Cam Robinson, Alabama Tier 5 S Jabrill Peppers, Michigan OLB Zach Cunningham, Vanderbilt OLB Takkarist McKinley, UCLA OLB Hasaan Redick, Temple OT Ryan Ramczyk, Wisconsin WR John Ross, Washington DE Taco Charlton, Michigan Tier 6 QB Deshone Kizer, Notre Dame CB Marlon Humphrey, Alabama CB Sidney Jones, Washington RB Christian McCaffrey, Stanford DT Malik McDowell, Michigan State OLB Tim Williams, Alabama Tier 7 OG Dan Feeney, Indiana OG Forrest Lamp, Western Michigan CB Tredavious White, LSU TE David Njoku, Miami FL DE Tanoh Kpassgnon, Villanova DE Charles Harris, Missouri LB Jarrad Davis, Florida
January 30, 20178 yr comment_1528010 Hooker and Adams would absolutely be considered tier one prospects regardless of position. I do agree with the tier system however and the way teams set up their boards....I like using the college recruiting system and assign them 5 star, 4 star etc. this year my five star guys would be- Allen, Garrett, Hooker and Adams....I definitely think Takkarist McKinley has a chance to get himself up there as well as the process plays out, kid is a freaking animal off the edge. Thomas would probably be a 4 star for me due to his lack of prototypical size....that sure doesn't mean I wouldn't take him however.

Ultimately decided Hooker wasn't experienced enough. I have Hooker a notch higher than Adams. Both are great players.

Both are great players. yeah it's definitely close....not sure they'd be "5 star" in every draft, but in this one I think they are due to a lack of overall elite talent at the top.
