WATCHFUL PLAYERS FOR WEEK6

1.CJ Henderson- Henderson has proven to be one of the best defensive backs in the country this year as he’s displayed his impressive physical attributes and the ability to guard multiple receivers. However, he will have his toughest test this weekend against a phenomenal Auburn team and explosive Bo Nix at quarterback. Im looking to see improvement on his run defense, and blitzing packages.

2.AJ Espensa- Espensa is playing against his toughest challenge this year, and I'm expecting an amazing performance. While Michigan is still a good team they have a struggling offensive line and so I'm sure we will see Espensa give Patterson a rough night. While I expect Espensa to be a serious force regarding pass rush, I need to see improvement on his run stoppage.

3.Jacob Eason- Eason has grown a lot of excitement this season, even growing some first round hype. He’ll have good competition this weekend as he faces off against Stanford. If he plays well this game, especially if he avoids poor decision making and interceptions then the positive stigma around him could blossom into serious first round consideration.

4.J.K. Dobbins- Ohio State has been on a role and that's been in large cause of Dobbins spectacular season. However, his performances have been overshadowed by Justin Fields and a phenomenal defense. He's facing off against a ranked opponent this weekend in Michigan State and if he's able to improve on his red zone performances then he could grow some national hype and see his draft stock rise.

TOP 2019 NFL DRAFT PROSPECTS

1.Tua Tagovaloia- an extraordinary talent with excellent accuracy and footwork as well as an improving arm strength. Yet to face a serious challenge, and still needs improvement regarding decision making before competing against NFL level defenses.

2.Jerry Jeudy- the best receiver talent since Julio Jones and A.J. Green, Jeudy has elite ball skills and the ability to run every route which should immediately transition into NFL offenses.

3.Chase Young- Young has had a spectacular start to the season with 7 sacks and and 2 strip sacks in only the first four games, and is currently on track to break the NCAA sack record. Furthermore, Young has shown improvement regarding run stoppage and variation of rush moves. With NFL defenses relying heavily on pass rush, I wouldn't be surprised if Young is the first off the board come March.

4.Grant Delpit- Delpit is the best pure safety we have seen in a long time and its no surprise why. He's shown an impressive ability to not only cover every zone on the field, but also to matchup with virtually every position including running back and slot receivers. This distinguishes him significantly from any other safety talent we've seen for a long time.

5.Jeffery Okudah- An extremely good zone coverage corner back as well as run stopper and efficient tackler. Has great potential to succeed in a pure zone defense such as the texans or panthers. Needs improvement in man situations as well as forcing turnovers.

6.Henry Ruggs- One of the most surprising, yet remarkable talents, Ruggs is a fantastic route runner and touchdown machine, but his best attribute is his extreme speed and agility. Would fit best as a secondary receiver or slot weapon such as DeSean Jackson and Percy Harvin.

7.Ceedee Lamb- Lamb has shown flashes of great potential as he’s racked up nine receptions for three touchdowns and 25.4 yards per catch in only the first couple games. This is in large part due to his excellent route running, hands, and a unique ability to compete and excel against difficult matchups.

8.Kristian Fulton- Fulton has proven to have an impressive game IQ and awareness that along with his natural abilities has led to five pass breakups and an interception. Fulton also has the ability to matchup with number one receivers while stopping the run, which would make him an excellent fit in pure man coverage systems.

9.Justin Herbert- Herberts had a grand start to the 2019 season as he's thrown for 14 touchdowns and no interceptions while also completing 74.4% of his passes. He also has impressive tangibles such as a powerful arm, athleticism, and size that may lead to him becoming the first quarterback off the board.

10.Andrew Thomas- A very solid and consistent player with long arms and quick, mobile feet. He's shown the ability to guard top tier pass rushers, and is also able to play both tackle positions. With most of the bottom ranked teams in the NFL having poor offensive lines, I wouldn't be surprised if we saw Andrew  off the board very early.
