One of the biggest risers this season, Allen has gone from first-rounder to top-five potential with a dominant season in which he leads all interior defensive linemen with a 95.0 pass rush grade. His size, speed and strength should translate well at the next level. That improvement is the icing on the cake as Garrett sits atop the board because of his ability to pressure the quarterback, something he’s done 148 times (26 sacks, 33 hits, 89 hurries) on 862 rushes in his college career. Myles Garrett, Edge, Texas A&MĪlready an elite pass-rusher off the edge, Garrett has improved as a run defender, now ranking fifth in the nation at 86.6. Here is the PFF Draft Board through 10 weeks of action. This class is shaping up to be strong at edge rusher and cornerback with a variety of different styles at both positions while the running backs may have taken a slight step back since the preseason but they’re still lurking as the NFL figures out where to value this talented group of runners. Other notable quarterback names that have been thrown around simply haven’t played up to first-round standards. Clemson’s Deshaun Watson still owns a place on the Draft Board but he’s had a disappointing season overall and we’d like to see him go on a run down the stretch. The quarterback positon is always a hot topic for the draft and we don’t have a clear favorite for the top overall spot.

The pictures are getting much clearer on a number of players as early-season superstars have shown their true colors by either continuing their growth or leveling off to normal levels of play. We’re back to update the PFF Draft Board as players continue to make their move across the country.
