The Los Angeles Rams have clinched a playoff spot, but the NFL draft process is getting started with bowl games already beginning. With over 40 games to be played over the next month, there will be plenty to watch in preparation for the NFL Draft.
This list could change with players opting to stay in school or not to play in the game at all. This is simply a potential list players to keep an eye on throughout the draft process. Most of these players will be from the consensus top-300. This is a good starting point to get us ready for draft season. As a note, this list will get updated with more bowl games over the coming weeks.
Ty Simpson is going to be an interesting one to watch. With a solid College Football Playoff, the Alabama quarterback may decide to declare for the draft. This is expected to be a thin quarterback class at the top. If Simpson garners some first-round buzz, he should declare. The Rams may not need a starting offensive tackle, but Kadyn Proctor is a top name to watch. On the Oklahoma side, Deion Burks is an electric player.
Carson Beck is another player that will have a lot to prove during the College Football Playoff. If he can lead Miami to a National Championship, it would prove a lot. Francis Mauigoa is a prototypical left tackle and one of the best tackles in the class. Will Lee III is a day two cornerback with good size and length. That size makes him one of the better man corners in the draft class.
