Who wants to see a very - very - early top 2017 draft prospect ranking?
You do? Great! Because I have one just for you! (And if you don’t, be quiet and pretend you do)
Before I get to it, I was thinking about doing a community prospect rankings project. I would run it similar to the way I ran the community prospect list a few years ago. We have a lot of knowledgeable folks here, and I think it would be a fun way to share insights and discuss draft prospects more in depth. We could do one this summer - maybe top 25 - and then re-do it in the spring. I am going to put up a poll, let me know if this is something people are interested in.
Without further ado, here are the top 50 2017 draft prospects right now:

I will be using this to start doing some early draft profiles in the coming weeks. Who do you think is missing? Who’s too high or too low? The best part of a list is the debate that it creates - so let’s get to the debating below!
