With the Senior Bowl now in the rearview mirror, a lot of prospects are being viewed differently among NFL scouts, General Managers, draft experts, and the general populace.

Most, by now, have resigned themselves to the fact that the Bengals will keep the top overall pick and select QB Joe Burrow, with the Redskins likely to take Ohio St EDGE rusher Chase Young. But, after that, it really is a crapshoot.

Now, there is a long way to go, and there will be a lot of movement in the player rankings as they test, both athletically and through the interview process. A bunch of these players will fall while others will rise.

Some of these names, such as Dayton TE Adam Trautman, have moved up considerably through the Senior Bowl practices and will require a more in-depth analysis of their game film to get an accurate read on where they will stand come April.

But, for those draft nuts out there, this is a solid place to start when thinking about whom your favorite team will, and should, draft when they are on the clock.  I hope all of you are looking forward to the draft process as much as I am as the NFL’s second season has officially begun.
