I'm not a huge draft board poster, but I do read it religiously and do enjoy analyzing players/draft strategies. One of my favorite things about the forum is just reading the different opinions on who people like more personally than the general consensus or guys they don't like at all compared to the general consensus. I'll give mine just overall and for the Jets potentially at 20. Might come back and redo this post combine.
My personal favorite: Noah Spence. Everyone worries about his off field red flags, but for whatever reason, I just have a gut feeling that 5 years from now he's the best defensive player from this draft and an elite pass rusher.
Don't touch: Buckner from Oregon. His stock is already rising and the combine will not stop that, but I just don't see it. I see big flop potential.
For Jets, I like Taylor Decker probably more than others and want nothing to do with Elliot.

Personal Favorite: Carson Wentz
Has literally everything you look for in a franchise QB. Ideal size, good arm, good mobility, great poise and anticipation in the pocket...really the only knock is the level of competition he faced. Sit him on the bench for a year or two and you could have a legit Top 10 QB in the near future.
Don't touch: Leonard Floyd
Kid is built like a goddamn stick, same as Barkevious Mingo when he came out. Hell, I actually think Floyd might be skinnier. Basically just relies on pure speed to run around OT's. That shit won't work in the NFL.

Tough at this point but here are my early ones.
Fav: Zeke Elliot, I know it is not popular to rate RB's high but this guy seems to be a ready made 3 down do it all player that will be good from day one and barring injury be a big help to the team that picks him.
Do not touch: LeRaven Clark, He is not super highly rated yet but he is the classic looks the part big time, 6'5 316, super long arms. looks all the world like a great LT in waiting. He looked horrible at the workouts for senior or shrine bowl, forget which he was in.

Overall? Jack and Goff respectively for best and worst of the 1st... but if we're talking about the Jets draft @20?
Best: Paxton Lynch; his deficiencies are overblown, and his strengths are under appreciated. I literally watched every 2015 game. There's nobody within a country mile that can make the plays he does under pressure and some of the best decision making i've seen since andrew luck. Put simply; he's a natural.
Worst: Ragland; I see nothing special. Not saying he'll bust, but he's a woefully uninspiring pick of a guy who should be a round 2-3 pick but the red tide is high this time of year.
...who do i think we'll actually pick? Ragland, lol.

Agree with most of your choices, but just to offer some new names:
Prospect I love: Jaylon Smith. If his injury drops him to the Jets, I'd be happy with the choice. I think he can eventually have a Kuechly like impact in the NFL.
Prospect I dislike: Corey Coleman. Good athlete, but I see a lot of dog in his game.

Prospect I dislike: Corey Coleman. Good athlete, but I see a lot of dog in his game. Just for arguments sake I can understand why you state that but the entire team is coached in that manner and if you watch his tape, all of their players just stand there. Maybe they're expecting a change of direction. Dunno FTR I'm not sticking up for Coleman but that is what I noticed. |

I'll re-watch the tape to see if the other receivers are doing that as well, but there were too many occasions when I saw Coleman just casually trotting if it was a running play (when he should have been blocking someone) or if it was a passing play designed to go to another receiver (when Coleman should have been running his routes hard to draw the defense's attention). |

Personal fave - Darron Lee. A little undersized, but a tough SOB with sideline to sideline range, coverage skills and pass-rush ability. Could be a versatile movable chess-piece for a creative coaching staff, lining up inside or outside, covering or rushing as the situation dictates.
Do not touch - Ragland. A less explosive version of David Harris. I see nothing special in him at all. Simply a competent, 2 down ILB with limited speed who will struggle to live up to his likely 1st round status in the pros.

My favorites: Austin Johnson- an absolute monster of a man who will plug up the middle but also has some pass rushing moves...an ideal replacement for Snacks. Jalen Ramsey...put him as a corner or a free safety he would excel at both. He will be a perennial pro bowler.
Busts: Mackensie Alexander, Laquon Treadwell, Reggie Ragland

Robert Nkemdiche has bust written all over him and will more than likely be drafted in the first round.

Don't have any personal favorites, but my absolute Do Not Touch is Ragland at ILB who I've seen mocked to us in a few MDs.
We don't need another slow ILB who can't cover tight ends. (Sure he ran a decent 40 at the combine for an ILB but he plays so much slower then that straight line speed)
