This article is part of our NFL Draft series.
This article is meant to be a quick look at the overall dynasty rankings of the upcoming NFL rookie class, and it will be followed up in the upcoming days with positional dynasty rankings, which will feature more in-depth player burbs than this article.
Since we don't know what teams these players will be playing for, the long-term projections involved are based mostly on college production, film, workout data and age. With that said, projected draft position is also factored in somewhat, as players drafted higher generally are given more opportunities to produce once in the NFL.
Players will be listed in descending order of dynasty value, accompanied with a height/weight and projected draft position. Rookie year age (as of the season's start) will also be noted, and there will be a workout subsection listing the 40-yard dash, broad jump, vertical jump and agility score where applicable. The agility score comes from adding the 20-yard shuttle and three-cone drill times, so the lower the better.
I have pretty extensive reasoning for ranking the players like I did, so if you are curious as to why, please feel free to ask questions in the comment section or on Twitter at @NFLDraft_RW. Thanks for reading!
