These are my rankings. I added the consensus rankings for those that are interested. This year I primarily focused on players who were invited to the Scouting Combine, so this is not a complete list. I did add some players who performed well during the all-star bowl season and/or who tested really well at their pro days. I spent a lot of time on this, but I still didn't have the time to study every prospect. :)

Kenny Pickett had the best tape from 2021. Sam Howell's 2020 tape was the best from this class. For some teams I see Pickett being the top prospect. However, his hand size is a major concern. I don't think his hand size meets the threshold for some cold weather teams (like the Packers), so ultimately that was the deciding factor with him not being ranked #1. Willis is similar to Trey Lance in some ways, but I don't think he's as good of a prospect. Lance was much bigger than Willis, had an even stronger arm, and was a really good decision maker in college (1 interception in his college career). Willis shows a lot of promise. He has a big arm and is relatively accurate. He has great mobility and throws really well on the run. However, his decising making was suspect, and he was really loose with the football in the pocket. He does have the most upside in this draft though.

For me accuracy is a very important trait--which led to Ridder being last amongst the top tier QBs. Corrall was hard to evaluate because he was a one read and run QB in college, but there are some interesting traits. He has a quick release, and he's one of the more accurate QBs in the class.

Coan was interesting because I thought he improved a lot throughout the year. He was much better the last 4-5 games (especially against Oklahoma State) than he was at the beginning of the year.

My deep sleeper this year is Chase Garbers. I wish he would have been invited to the combine. I've been relatively decent with my deep sleepers. Logan Woodside in still toiling in the league and Jake Luton got some starts as a rookie--which is pretty good for guys who were weren't projected to get drafted by a majority of sites.

I had Breece Hall ranked as the top RB since before the combine. He was the consensus #3 RB heading into the combine, but then measured 9.96 RAS at the combine. Kenneth Walker is a really good prospect himself, but Hall reminds me of Curtis Martin. I didn't like Spiller that much before the combine, and I think the combine validated it. Same with Kyren Williams. I'm higher on Jerome Ford and Kennedy Brooks than most. I was higher than most on Ty Chandler, but he had a really good combine and moved into mid round range for most.

When the Packers pick someone early on whom I've never heard of at a position for which I think they have no need, and I panic, I will look to this thread to find the name, probably a high ranking, and reassurance.

Thanks, Harv, for the work.

Agree - thanks for the work. I wasn't a big fan of Hall at first but am coming around. I think either he or Walker will be the first RB taken, likely in R2.
As for QB, I think Ridder is the best of a bad lot but Pickett is probably my #2. Garbers, Zappe, and Thompson also intrigue as late pick gambles.

Malik Willis scares me - he's overrated. Very raw prospect who some team will turn into a bust before he can develop. The name that comes to mind for some reason is EJ Manuel even though I doubt it's a fair comparison.

I must say that RB, especially those that aren't obviously special on film, is probably my worst position at evaluating. I liked Jonathan Taylor two years ago and Javonte Williams last year as RB1, and I think those guys will end up being the top dogs. However, I've pretty awful at the position. I will post more positions this weekend. I'm out for a bit and I'm still finishing up some of the defensive rankings.

Its almost like he read our conversations because he used the top 25 all time receiver list to see if these size ranges work. His weights were much lower than the ones listed on pro football reference but McGinn has draft weights and I had their maxed out NFL weights.

Draft weights of a few good players

Andre Reed (6-1 1/2, 185, 4.55)

Dotson weighed 184 at his pro day. He might have lost some weight so he could run a faster 40 time.

Andre Reed (6-1 1/2, 185, 4.55)

I don't think anybody's ever argued that there wasn't room for a small WR in the right system. My guess is that most of the small WRs have elite agility. I'm going to look that up.

In my draft DB--going back to 2014:

Little guys who were good--since 2014:

Brandin Cooks (5'10" 189) = 6.76 3 cone
Tyler Lockett (5'10" 182) = 6.89 3 cone
Tyreek Hill (5'8" 185) = 6.53 3 cone
Diontae Johnson (5'11" 183) = 7.09 3 cone
Hunter Renfrow (5'11" 180) = 6.80 3 cone
Elijah Moore (5'9" 178) = 6.65 3 cone (he wasn't technically good last year, primarily because of injury, but I liked what I saw when he did play)

Other little guys last year: Rondale Moore (5'7" 181, 6.68 3 cone), D'Wayne Eskridge (5'9" 190, 6.95 3 cone)

NOTE: Marquise Brown, Devonta Smith, and Jaylen Waddle didn't test in 3 cone.

I'm not remotely good enough to do this professionally.

I don't think being good is really a priority. Entertaining with bold, often wrong, opinions is what it takes. That description fits a good many of us here on packerrats.

That said, are you as down on this QB class as I am? I think the top 3 or 4 will be total busts with the dude from Reno being a career backup and possibly the best of the bunch. If I were a GM trying to trade Jordan Love, this would be the time. If you can't leverage him for a 2nd in this draft you never will. Then bring in my boy Blake Bortles as the backup and have fun with your 5 picks in the first 2 rounds.

Fritz
04-23-2022, 08:26 AM
Yeah, Harv, when did you get the idea that knowing what you are doing is a requirement?

In fact, your level of expertise would probably be above and beyond what most of these entertainment yahoos post, and that could be your calling card - "Hey, that HarveyWallbangers guy actually looks at film and compares these guys! It's crazy!"

I wish my draft spreadsheet would be properly formatted when I paste it here. I don't have the time to sit and format every position group manually.

I'm not remotely good enough to do this professionally.

You think Matt Miller is any good? I'm not so sure he's better.

I don't think being good is really a priority. Entertaining with bold, often wrong, opinions is what it takes. That description fits a good many of us here on packerrats.

That said, are you as down on this QB class as I am? I think the top 3 or 4 will be total busts with the dude from Reno being a career backup and possibly the best of the bunch. If I were a GM trying to trade Jordan Love, this would be the time. If you can't leverage him for a 2nd in this draft you never will. Then bring in my boy Blake Bortles as the backup and have fun with your 5 picks in the first 2 rounds.

I would do the same in a second.

Couple of things,

1) I have seen a few drafts where penning drops to us. Harv, have you done ol? I can't see any way he makes it past top 12. What am I missing.

2) unless love is absolute garbage (we have not seen that. We have seen an average qb) we would be fools to trade away live.
From what I have seen average qbs aren't easy to come by and cost 10mil plus. If our 38 yr old qb gets injured I don't want a high drafted 50/50 bust out there. I dont want some late round 75% probable bust out there. I want a confident average that is affordable. That is what love is from what I have seen.
I get you hated the pick but an average qb as backup on a cheap contract is better than an extra lotto ticket on a team with more draft capital already than on aong long time.
Plus if he is average and sees the field (I hope not) this year we will likely get a mid round pick and player next year if the brass has a misdirected hardon for trading him.

Is love even average ? If you can get a 2nd or 3rd I am saying bye.

I didn't think Penning was very good at the Senior Bowl. He got beat a lot and was out of control. Then, I watched him against North Dakota State and Iowa State and didn't think he was special. He averaged a penalty/game in college and really struggles with speed. I think there's a very good chance he ends up at OG in the NFL.

I've uploaded my offensive rankings. There's a lot to process with this spreadsheet. If anyone cares and needs an explanation on something, let me know. This wasn't intended to be understandable to the public. :) When I finalize my defensive rankings, I will upload again with all of my rankings. I will also include worksheets with traits explanation, Packers historical data (going back to 2005 when TT took over), which combine drills matter at each position, etc.

I get the feeling Penning could be a holding penalty waiting to happen on the pro level. A lot of scouts and fans love him, so who knows.
With GB coaching he could be pretty good, but I haven't watched him enough to be sold on him yet.

Small school player but played ok against higher competition. Still, if you're going to draft a player who ends up at G in R1 take Zion Johnson... otherwise wait until Day2/3.

I see penning as an athletic freak who had some of the best pass and run block numbers in college. He is an ideal zone blocker who is nasty. We need that.
I think the only positions I am any good at seeing pitential is ol and rb. Admittedly some here think im an idiot when it comes to my line assesments (quick tex shout out) but I would love to see us take him at 22.

Dude was walked back repeatedly at the Senior Bowl, and he got frustrated.

Didn't seem to have a great anchor, and let guys get inside him. 1-1's can be unfair to the OT's and actual game tape would be better. I'm not a fan, but I also admit to not seeing much video of him either.
I don't think he's a clear and obvious pick for GB, but I think someone will take him R1.

I agree, but reports would have you believe he was just mauling people at the Senior Bowl. It was more him getting frustrated and going a bit over the line. I think I see more smoke coming out of his ear holes each time he got beat. :)

Prediction: Gary whoops Penning’s ass this week and Penning starts a fight with him.

If he starts a fight with Gary, I give him credit for having nerve, if not brains.

Penning got kicked out of practice after getting in three fights. Unless he learns to control himself he's going to get flagged or DQ'd.

I would love to see him go up against Suh.
