*This list is being constantly updated. *I have added photos of the players I would target.I have been working on this list for weeks. The more film I watch the more it changes. This was a lot more work than I expected. First off I would like to discuss the notable players who did not make the list. Ezekiel Elliot, Joey Bosa, Sheldon Rankins, Shillique Calhoun, Kevin Dodd, Emmanuel Ogbah, Shaq Lawson, A'Shawn Robinson, Jarran Reed, and Robert Nkemdiche. There are various reasons why these guys did not make the list. Elliot may not fit into an NFL locker room very well. Robinson would be a great 3-4 NT but we won't draft him. You have the Clemson DE's, enough said about them. Some of these guys like Calhoun, and Bosa are lacking the proper skill set. Then you have Sheldon Rankins who just flat out sucks IMO. Bullard, Reed, Kenny Clark, Leonard Floyd are all good players but they just don't do it for me. I just recently took Hargraves and Alexander both off the list. They are both good players but I just don't like them. There are flaws in their game that are going to be exposed in the NFL IMO. I am 100% positive that some of these guys will be successful professional ballers and I wish them all the best playing for another team. The beauty of a top 50 list is that there are plenty of players out there. If I don't have a good feeling about a player then it is easy enough to drop him off because there are plenty of other players out there who I do like and I do think can succeed in the NFL. That is the No.1 reason why these guys did not make my list.So here is my top 50 players for the 2016 NFL Draft. I scouted them all and jotted down some notes on each of the top players. For the top players I did not list their faults. Outside of Myles Jack there are no perfect players in this draft. Oops. I am giving it away. Better post this now.2016 NFL DraftTop Fifty Players 1. Myles Jack LBBzqbbgg.jpgMyles Jack is a plus player in every category. He is listed as a LB but has literally played every position on defense. Consistently fights off blocks or outruns them. Punishing downhill tackler. Good length and knows how to use it. Power to stop offensive linemen in their tracks and clog up running lanes. Superb shedding ability and ability to work through traffic. Great press and mirror ability with hips on a swivel. Great recovery speed when ball is in the air. Great recognition in zone defense. Jack has elite long speed to stay with any player in M2M down the field coverage. Ideal in press coverage with ability to redirect. Identifies route and has head on swivel to locate the ball. Myles Jack is exactly the kind of player that fits in today's NFL with his elite cover skills and speed. I would not be surprised to see him as a MLB with his elite sideline to sideline speed.2. Vernon Butler DTZ5Dy8Se.jpgButler is a mammoth of a man at 6' 4" 325 pounds. Has a massive athletic frame. Well built for his size without too much flab. He is explosive in short areas. He has a high motor that never seems to quit. Could play 0, 1, 3, or 5. Has ability to routinely beat single teams with a bull rush and great hand usage. Always wins at the LOS with his forward push. Has an unmovable anchor and ability to stack and shed against double and even triple teams. Clogs up multiple running lanes. His vesatility would suit a defense that wants to utilise multiple fronts as he can shift alignment and play almost any position. 3. Deforest Buckner DEBuckner is a physical freak of nature. At 6'7" 290 pounds and with nearly 35" arms and nearly 12" hands he is a beast. He has the length and hand work to disengage and enough burst to make plays. He is best suited as a 3-4 DE but has the skills to be in a rotation in any defense that uses multiple fronts. 4. Laremy Tunsil OTTunsil is a technician. He is fleet footed and solid at blocking. He is not a road grader but has prototypical LT traits. Nimble feet, good extension and adequate stoutness to win most matchups. Routinely gets second level blocks executed. 5. Laquon Treadwell WR8Aoqns2.JpgLaquon is a smooth player who gets good separation despite lack of ideal speed. He flashes elite ability as a blocker. Versatile enough to get vertical and be a No.1 or be a physical No.2 possession type WR. He runs good routes and he is a plus blocker and would fit in great on any NFL roster. 6. Ronnie Stanley OTStanley has improved greatly since last season. I had him rated quite low and good for him he went back to school. He has the feet to play tackle and he is good in run blocking although not a road grader either. Similar to Tunsil he is more of a technician than a power player and accurate with his second level blocks. 7. William Jackson CBOp5Mc8M.jpgMy top rated CB is William Jackson. He is a lock down corner with ideal size. Plenty of speed. He has good route recognition and ball awareness. Has ability to get his hand on the ball frequently with PBU's and INT's. Hips on a swivel to turn and mirror WR. Head also on a swivel to locate the ball. Superb production in 2015. I think if he goes to a good defense you could plug him in and he will excel. He takes care of his business in coverage.8. Noah Spence DEO4Dxgfj.jpgSpence has a lack of ideal size - speed that makes his NFL journey more difficult. He is a talented edge rusher who consistently wins with low pads. Has ability to dip under would be blockers and squeeze right by them. Good combination of explosion and power for his size. Game speed is good despite subpar combine results.9. Josh Doctson WRDoctson has everything you are looking for in a WR. Size, speed, routes, hands and durability. Not a burner but has good speed for his size. He creates separation out of his breaks. Has good hands. Has experience running most routes. Wins when the ball is in the air. Doctson is as NFL ready as you will find coming out of college I would expect him to contribute straight away. 10. Stephane Nembot OLQuhxxh1.JpgIdeal size, length and power for the position. Can be a dominant force on the LOS and the second level. Has a dominant hand punch that effectively disables would be rushers. He has improved steadily each year. Very good lower body movement for the right side tackle position. Started out as a defensive end and was converted to OT. Likely to be a draft day riser.11. Karl Joseph SZfxbspb.jpgJoesph is a hard hitting safety with good range, cover skills and ball skills. He has very good funtional length to keep blockers off him. His biggest plus is in run support where he hits very hard for his size. At 5' 10" 205 pounds he is nearly a physical clone of Earl Thomas. His aggresive nature in run support and his ability to cover downfield are also reminiscent of Thomas. ACL injury hurts his stock.12. Jack Conklin OTConklin is solid without many flaws in his game. He uses his length as an advantage in holding off rushers. Has plenty of functional strength. Has ability to pull across the formation. He has toughness that will ease his transition to the NFL game. Probably a guard at the next level as he may struggle to stay with NFL edge rushers.13.  Su'a Cravens S - OLB HybridCravens is a big physical safety with experience coming down into the box effectively. Hard to block player who is effective in the box because he uses his good functional length to bounce off blockers and make plays. He wins with his length on nearly every play. He is a hybrid type of player that today's defensive coaches love because of his versatile skill set.14. Germain Ifedi OLIfedi has long arms to keep defenders at bay, and is a bruising blocker. Good at making space and holding off defenders. Ifedi may be best suited shifting inside at first to guard but with his length and power he would be an ideal fit at RT after he adjusts to NFL speed.15. Jalen Ramsey FSHas good game speed. Great in coverage on RB and TE's. Great open field tackler. Plus player on special teams in coverage and blocking kicks. Extremely quick blitzer off the edge that must be accounted for. Emotional leader of the defense. Great athlete. Ramsey has huge upside in part because of his propensity to make huge plays at critical times. 16. CJ Prosise RBWns0Dkk.jpgHas a great combination of speed and power. Displays elite game speed. Great change of direction. Breaks tackles routinely and stays on his feet. Comes out of a low stance and keeps his pad level low at all times. Natural runner. Has a natural shift move that is not quite a cut but gives him enough space to blow past defenders. Has good burst to get through holes before they close. Has elite long speed to take it all the way without being caught from behind.  Started out in college as a DB and switched positions and he still plays with that attitude. Played WR and CB in high school.17. Matt Judon DERld7E2X.jpgHas good length to get into OL and nudge them out of the way giving himself a clear lane to the QB. Great size and speed combo. Ran a 4.7 40 at 6'3" 275 pounds at the combine. Stays clean wading through traffic. Has great game speed. Routinely chases ball to other side of the formation. Played against inferior competition in college. The leap in competition will be huge for him.18. Issac Seumalu OLJcf0Fuz.jpgVery light on his feet. Seeks out 2nd level blocks and destroys his target. Pulls and locates blocks well. Is a mauler. Plays through the whistle. Versatility to play almost any position helps his stock.  19.Will Fuller WRFuller is a deep threat. He has the speed to take it to the house if he can fight off NFL CB's at the LOS. Gets out of his breaks clean and creates separation on almost every route he runs. Elite game speed to blow past defenders. He consistently gets open and specializes in running past defenders deep.20. Nick Vannett TEExtremely good at blocking inline. Uses length and punch to stop rushers. Good functional strength. Large catch radius. Good run after catch ability. Dual threat TE that can stay on the field due to his versatility. 21. Travis Feeney OLB 2Gdw47G.jpgGreat skill set to develop into a versatile hybrid LB who can do everything. He is a long strider at 6' 4" and is sneaky fast. Has great length to bounce off of blockers. Has great game speed. Great wrap up tackling technique. Good in coverage when asked to. Plus player in kick coverage. Has extensive experience rushing the passer as a OLB at Washington but at his size he is best suited as a real line backer in space to take advantage of his speed and sure tackling ability. As a converted safety, I see him as more of a hybrid type of player at the next level to take advantage of his skill set. Lack of experience at LB could hurt his draft stock.22. Cyrus Jones CB/RETDynamic open field return threat. Has elite game speed. Not as polished as you would like at CB but will contribute on special teams.23. Derrick Henry RBHenry breaks the mold as a RB. Gifted with outrageous size - speed - vision and power Henry plays with great balance for such a tall RB. 24. Michael Thomas So. Miss. WR5Ejd82F.jpgThomas is from a small school but he put up big production. Has NFL size  and route running ability. Has been well coached or is just a natural. Had huge games against top competition. Has good game speed. Could be a mid round steal. 25. Kenneth Dixon RBDixon is a very well rounded player who had great college production. Has NFL skill set in pass protection and catching the ball out of the backfield. Very well rounded RB.26. Justin Simmons FSLwi2Dcz.jpgAggressive in run support. Good open field tackler. Simmons has high potential as an NFL FS. Not many players have these kinds of physical gifts. Could be a draft day riser.27. Deiondre' Hall SJgmjdpy.jpgUnreal length for the position. Great closing ability when the ball is in the air. Great ball skills. Has a knack for making the big play. Punishing and sure tackler. Hall is lacking straight line speed that scouts would like to see but he ticks all the other boxes. Projects as a S but my preference would be to see him play the nickel. 28. Devante Booker RBBooker would be a great backup RB to take some carries. Good out of backfield and slot. Similar build and play style as Doug Martin. Has good game speed. Would be a great 3rd RB.29. Corey Coleman WRColeman has a knack for getting open. Displays elite game speed. Tends to allow the ball into his body often. Needs tons of work on the finer aspects such as blocking to become an every down player at the next level. 30. Victor Ochi DEOchi is an explosive player who can bend the edge and is fantastic in run support. Plays much bigger than his actual size. Could be a mid round steal. 31. Carl Nassib DEGreat use of length and hands to swat would be blockers to the side. Almost always seems to disengage blockers and stay clean. Able to set the edge. Good explosion to get up the field quickly. Good balance. Has a high motor. Nassib had a great year but question marks remain due to only one year of production.32. Darian Thompson FSL0Dtwjc.jpgGreat instincts. Great ball skills. Plus player in run support. High points the ball. Thompson is a human highlight reel. Every time he steps on the field he makes plays. Lack of size - speed hurts his draft stock, especially his small frame.33. Shon Coleman OGBig, powerful player. Has super length but doesn't always use it to his advantage. Quick footed for his size and very good reaching second level blocks. Road grader tackle who will likely transition as a guard due to a stiff lower body with limited change of direction ability.34. Javon Hargrave DTGood burst off the LOS. Great use of length and hands to fight off would be blockers. Strong hands to control blockers and drag down whoever he gets his hands on. Played against weak competition but has a desirable skill set to set him up for success in a rotation at the next level.35. Ken Crawley CBWrpjwjm.jpgCrawley has great cover skills to go with good size - speed for the position. Very good press cover ability. He is a developmental type of player with high upside. Could be a great 36. Tyler Ervin RB - KRElectric playmaker who can take it to the house. Would be an awesome change of pace / gimmick RB and KR. Has great game speed. Best used out in space. Too small to take every down pounding in NFL.37. Kendall Fuller CBFuller is a big time play maker who is versatile. If not for his poor recovery speed would be ranked much higher. Could compete for nickle corner position.38. Alex Collins RBIdeal size for the position to break tackles routinely. Keeps his legs moving through contact. Shows 1 cut ability to plant his foot and take off. Patiently waits for blocks to develop. Lack of experience out of the backfield and in pass protection could hurt his stock.39. Jakeem Grant WR - KR03Ksfe6.JpgSmall but well built WR. Has elite game speed. Beats press coverage with elite burst off the line. When he turns on the jets nobody can catch him. Big play specialist. Has good range despite small size due to elite speed and quickness. His own worst enemy sometimes when he tries too many juke moves he gets caught from behind. 40. Tyler Boyd WROne of my favorites in this draft class but lacking the measurables you would like to see. It will be difficult for him to do the things he did well in college in the pros. He has an uphill climb to be a successful pro but I like him too much to take him off the board.41. Charone Peake WRHas a good size and speed combination. Has good ability to locate and adjust to the ball on back shoulder throws. Tough inside runner with the ball on quick slants. Seems to be better catching quick passes and making things happen with the ball. Not a full route tree runner. Not very good winning contested catches despite good height and length. Needs to improve run blocking. 42. Tyler Higbee  TEGood game speed. Creates separation out of his breaks. Finds holes in zone coverage. Has experience at H-back and split end. Was not asked to block much as a TE. Mismatch against smaller DB's. Good downfield blocker. Fiery player who gets his teammates fired up.  43. Tavon Young CB44. Anthony Brown CB45. Rees Odhiambo OL46. Graham Glasgow OL47. Jonathon Jones CB48. Jerell Adams TE 49. Roger Lewis WR50. Sebastian Tretola OL
