As for top 10, the only people worth picking IMO are Jeanty, Warren, Carter and Graham. I don't think anyone else in this draft warrants a top 10 pick, but of course there has to be 6 others selected if their talent doesn't warrant it.
Considering there are only 12 prospects rumored to be graded with first round talent, its easy to see how only 4 or 5 will be graded with top 10 talent.
But the surprising part is over 60 is rumored to be graded with 2nd round talent. This means the highest value in draft will come with whoever has the most picks 40-70'ish.
For anyone asking about Travis Hunter, I'm ignoring him completely for now. I still feel everyone is grading him based on two positions and I don't think he can play both in the NFL. If he does play both, every defender will look to lay him out when he's on offense. And if he's on defense, I would expect massive chop blocks and everything dirty coming his way. Reason is simple, taking out 1 player forces two backups. Its the reason players stopped playing both offense and defense long ago. Even if we pretend its a perfect world and no one would do that, players struggle to stay healthy playing 1 position. Someone playing two all game every game? He won't see a full season in the NFL.
