Post-Underclassmen Positional Rankings (1/21)

I knew you were all anxiously awaiting the updated rankings, so here you go, enjoy them. OK, maybe you really all don't care, but what the hell.

If you compare them to my old rankings it's not exactly just throwing in Underclassmen, I made a lot of small changes you'll notice. I did it while also doing my 3 Rd mock draft, so I took into account a few factors I hadn't previously, for example how would teams prefer Player A vs Player B, or who would be a better fit in more places, etc.

I was considering holding this until after the Senior Bowl, but I'll just make some small adjustments next week, depending on how things turn out.

Enjoy.

*I'll have my mock up soon, I decided to add something last minute.

 

You and I are on the same page on Johnson, wait for the mock on that one.

Avril was one of my last cuts from the DE list, he and Chase Ortiz could have just as easily been there in place of any of the last four guys.
