Mike Mayock's 2017 NFL Draft position rankings


With the NFL Scouting Combine beginning in two weeks, Mike Mayock unveils the first of his position-by-position rankings for the 2017 NFL Draft.

For comparison's sake.  Here are Mayock's first positional draft rankings from the previous three NFL drafts to compare/contrast.

Thanks for posting his rankings from the previous 3 years. Those speak volumes....

Nice guy but he's hardly been accurate ranking the best offensive skill players...

I thought those would be useful.

Just wanted to point out that these are the first of five versions that Mayock puts out.  I made sure to post the first versions from the previous three seasons from roughly, the same time period.

The fifth and final versions didn't have much variation but there is variation by the time the final version is released.

He did pretty well in 2014 and 2015, won't know about 2016 but he seems to have done pretty well there as well.  Is he off on some players, of course, like anyone. But his top 5 for each position usually have 2-3 players that turned out very well and sometimes all 5 have done well. Does he always get the best player at #1, no, but that's incredibly difficult.  At best I'd say his top 5's would be better off not being ranked. Just, here's 5 guys to watch at each position. That would allow for a bit of leniency that would make his predictions more accurate.

First impression of 2017 is that some of the orders are wrong, but that many of the top 5's are pretty accurate.  He isn't taking a lot of risks though, most of his top 5 players match other top 5 lists, even if the order is moved around.  The players I think have the most chance of not ending up being top 5 at their positions are Davis Webb, Alvin Kamara, Cooper Kupp, Zay Jones, any of the O-linemen.  Most of those were ranked at the bottom of their respective tiers.  

Also, no problem with not having Juju in the top 5. Every USC receiver comes out highly touted, then falls flat in the NFL.

Mayock updated his positional rankings.

Surprising that he hasn't budged on his QB rankings where he still has Kizer ranked #1.
