Wait ... what about the post-draft breather?
Alas, here's one more to at least get the ball rolling toward what could be another really interesting draft class. After this year's draft was dominated by quarterback buzz, that position is a big question mark for 2019. We could see plenty of shuffling there.
A few notes on my first 2019 Big Board, which are similar to versions from past years:
These aren't detailed scouting reports. I still have a lot of work to do on these players.
Keep in mind that several prospects here have started only one season, so there is a lot of projection in some cases.
Height and weight are based on what we have from schools. We don't get official numbers until the 2019 combine.
Note: One asterisk denotes the player is a rising junior, and two asterisks denote the player is a rising redshirt sophomore for the 2018 season.
1. Ed Oliver, DT, Houston*
From a production standpoint as a game-wrecker on the defensive interior, Oliver could get some Aaron Donald comps -- which ain't bad company. Oliver has 38.5 tackles for loss through two seasons, and he played at less than 100 percent for a stretch of 2017.
2. Nick Bosa, DE, Ohio State*
Pops was a first-round pick, big brother was a first-round pick, and now Nick is well on his way. He has length (6-foot-4) and strength, and isn't just a sack artist as he uses his hands well and finds the football. He had 16.0 tackles for loss in 2017.
3. Rashan Gary, DT, Michigan*
An absolute man-child in high school, Gary came out of New Jersey ready to compete along a stacked Michigan D-line in 2016, and has been on a solid developmental path since. Expect a huge junior year.
4. A.J. Brown, WR, Ole Miss*
Coming off a huge season in which he had 75 catches for 1,252 yards and 11 touchdowns, the 6-foot-1, 225-pound Brown isn't long by today's standards, but has strong hands and a sturdy frame that will remind you of Anquan Boldin. He'll catch it through contact.
5. Devin White, LB, LSU*
An outstanding athlete in a 240-pound frame, White could have been a star running back but is instead dominating at linebacker. He piled up a whopping 133 tackles as a sophomore in 2017.
6. Andraez "Greedy" Williams, CB, LSU**
The Tigers have some talent on D, huh? Williams has elite length for the position at 6-foot-2, and if the ball is near him, he'll attack it and pluck it like a wide receiver.
7. Greg Little, OT, Mississippi*
With a prototype frame, the 6-foot-6, 330-pounder was dynamic in high school and has transitioned well over two years of starting at the SEC level. He's light on his feet and at times can simply overwhelm.
8. Dexter Lawrence, DT, Clemson*
At 6-foot-4 and 340 pounds, Lawrence isn't just a clogger on the interior -- he also has beaten blockers and chased down runners and quarterbacks. Big-bodied dudes who move like Lawrence and can eat gaps don't last long in the draft.
9. Deandre Baker, CB, Georgia
Passers who went after Baker in 2017 didn't have much luck. He's a great developmental story, as he wasn't a superstar coming out of high school and has turned himself into one of the elite cornerbacks in college football.
10. Bryce Love, RB, Stanford
A year after Christian McCaffrey averaged 6.3 yards per carry and caught 37 passes on his way to the top 10 of the draft, all Love did was average 8.1 yards per carry last season. What he will want to do more is catch passes, because he's slippery in space.
11. Clelin Ferrell, DE, Clemson*
Clemson lucked out in getting Ferrell back after a 9.5-sack, 18.0-tackle for loss season. He could surpass those totals in 2018 on a line that could be close to unblockable. By the way: Clelin rhymes with Lee-Lynn. I'm here to help!
12. Jonah Williams, OT, Alabama*
It won't shock you to learn that a guy who was able to secure a starting tackle job in Tuscaloosa as a true freshman has emerged as a top draft prospect a couple of seasons later. Williams was at right tackle and locked down the left side as a sophomore.
13. Raekwon Davis, DE, Alabama*
At 6-foot-7, Davis moves more like an NBA small forward than a D-lineman when he's actually in space, which is scary because most NBA wingers aren't packing 310 pounds. He had 8.5 sacks on a first-one-to-the-QB defense in 2017 and could do more damage in 2018.
14. Trey Adams, OT, Washington
Adams has a huge 6-foot-8 frame and has been a very good left tackle since he was inserted early in his freshman season, but we'll need to see how well he works his way back from an ACL injury.
15. Derrick Brown, DT, Auburn*
Long and powerful at 6-foot-5 and 325 pounds, he's coming off a breakthrough campaign and could be truly dominating as a true junior. When a guy like this isn't one of the top couple of defensive tackles early on in the process, it shows the potential depth at the top of the D-line class.
16. Drew Lock, QB, Missouri
Lock has a legit arm and quietly put up impressive totals for a team that faced a lot of good defenses. He had 44 touchdown passes and 13 INTs in 2017 and gets a chance to improve on those totals in 2018. NFL eyes will be watching.
17. Noah Fant, TE, Iowa*
A move tight end, Fant has the big catch radius teams covet, with a 6-foot-5 frame, and he can run. You never expect a ton of targets in Iowa's offense, but I'd expect Fant to get a bump from his 30 catches in 2017 with improving QB play in Iowa City.
18. Justin Herbert, QB, Oregon*
At 6-foot-6 and 230 pounds, Herbert has a big frame but is also an above-average athlete for a guy that size. He has completed over 65 percent of his passes and has a 34-9 TD-INT ratio over 16 games. Staying healthy could mean a breakout year in 2018.
19. David Edwards, OT, Wisconsin*
Rinse, repeat. The Wisconsin O-line production line is set to churn out another. Edwards has length (6-foot-7) and starting experience going back to his redshirt freshman season. Already an All-American, his developmental course has a fun foundation: He was a high school quarterback.
20. Rodney Anderson, RB, Oklahoma*
An army of NFL scouts and GMs watched Baker Mayfield stare down Roquan Smith in the Rose Bowl. They also saw Anderson run for 201 yards against that vaunted Georgia defense. The 6-foot-2, 220-pounder has a great blend of speed, power and vision.
21. Zach Allen, DE, Boston College
The 6-foot-5, 285-pound lineman has grown into a big-time prospect because not only can he rush the passer, he can play the run and fight through blocks to make plays. A lineman who can pile up 100 tackles while balancing pass-rush duty has a high floor.
22. N'Keal Harry, WR, Arizona State*
At 6-foot-4, Harry has a big catch radius, and has been a big target since he arrived in Tempe. He was a freshman All-American and took the added defensive attention in stride as a sophomore, piling up 82 catches. He can be dominant in the red zone, abusing smaller corners on jump balls.
23. Jalen Jelks, DE, Oregon
An athletic project upon arrival, Jelks has become a major prospect during his time in Eugene. At 6-foot-6 and 250-plus pounds, he has length and quickness and pass-rushing upside. He piled up 15.5 tackles for loss last season.
24. Anfernee Jennings, OLB, Alabama*
The 6-foot-3, 262-pounder was enjoying a breakout season when he injured his knee in the College Football Playoff and had to shut it down. But expect a healthy version in 2018 as part of a loaded Bama defense.
25. Montez Sweat, DE, Mississippi State
Out of high school you'd have pegged Sweat as a tight end prospect if he made this list. Instead, the athletic, 6-foot-6 pass-rusher is coming off a 10.5-sack season and could be one of the best pass-rushers in the country in 2018.
