Despite only being a sophomore, Colin Schooler is a one man wrecking crew for the Arizona Wildcats. The kid was
the pac 12 freshman defensive player of the year last year and had 95 tackles in his first year of college football. He is
leading the nation in tackles for loss this season and also is 4th in the the ncaa in total tackles this season so far. Colin
also has 10 tackles for loss in the first 4 games. Amazing fast, athletic, smart and tough. He reminds me a little bit of Clay Matthews on the Packers. I think this kid has legitimate nfl talent and he has been consistently clocked running 20 mph over and over during games & practices in making tackles. They monitor this at the school with technology. The fastest players on the field only run 22 mph so this kid can fly and he is an absolute beast! Keep an eye on him guys.

Good stuff! I always list seniors initially just because it is hard to predict who is going to declare. I need to get back to putting my prospect watch list up in the 2019 draft thread.

I think OT Trey Adams is going to get a medical redshirt and return to school for 2019.

Grier should be a first round pick - no questions asked. Thorson has disappointed me to this point as he returns from his ACL injury - I think he is more of a mid round guy at this point.

Thanks noted! Regarding the under-classman on the list there is strong reason to believe that they will declare, but I'll update the list as the season progresses.

I agree with you on pretty much all of the underclassmen. I do think Stidham needs to stay for another year as he has not been dominant as a first round pick should be. I also appreciate you actually doing research and putting this together! It's good to have others on the site who do some research and analysis of their own. I have covered the draft here for quite a while and I think after the most recent white purge in the NFL I lost some of my interest in it. The draft thread is pretty quiet in the NFL forum but seeing your thread renewed my interest in the draft to a degree.

I have come across another surprise 1st round candidate - Wisconsin OT David Edwards. With Trey Adam lost for the year it's nice to see another white OT move up the draft boards.

As far as QBs - I have heard during college broadcasts how it is a big question mark - alot of hype for the Ohio State black quarterback with all of 5 starts playing in a qb friendly system. The black quarterback from Buffalo is also one starting to be pushed. It's amazing how that agenda keeps getting pushed.


Today BC DE Zach Allen faces off against NC State QB Ryan Finley. It's a pretty intriguing matchup between 2 potential first round picks. Zach Allen is an all around great DL. From what I have read about Finley from all the "experts" is kind of a mixed bag. I think he compares favorably to Chad Pennington.


I also think Texas DE/OLB Breckyn Hager will be a player who moves up draft boards during the draft process.

Thats really nice to hear, ive been intrested in the NFL and NBA drafts for as long as I can remember. I wasnt aware that Trey Adams was lost for the season, thats a bummer.

I love Hager & Sills V, but I don't think pro scouts will rate them high.

Hager is better than his older Brother (LA Rams), explosiveness, who is a weapon for 3-4 D, but I'd guess some will say Hager sticks too much on social media.
When Herman came, he lost his playing time on the pitch (and now he regained some back)

"They" will say Sills V lacking breaking speed, though he has one of the best WR hands(and stats)... Rams drated Cooper Kupp, now it seems a "steal", but what the heck
Kupp was 3rd-rounder ??? All time record holder and best skills among that WR class... they will do the same when Sills' name being put on draft board.

Like clockwork - they are hyping up the Ohio State black quarterback:

The Draft Network's Kyle Crabbs believes Ohio State redshirt sophomore QB Dwayne Haskins is likely to be a one-and-done.

This may seem like an obvious statement but players decide to stay in school all the time, especially with the sport of football. Crabbs explains his reasoning, "Haskins’ play continues to exceed expectations. And to put it mildly, the 2019 QB class looks like it’s pretty hopeless otherwise." As long as Haskins continues to play well we think it's very likely he declares and is one of the top quarterbacks selected in the upcoming draft.

Another Tackle to add to the list.

Max Scharping NIU Left Tackle. 6'6 320. 39 career starts. Scouts will no doubt be itching to kick him inside to Guard or to Right Tackle.
