With college football regular season over halfway over, here are the top 50 NFL draft prospects through Week 10.

Even though the college football and NFL regular seasons are still in full swing, it’s never too early to look at the NFL draft, especially considering how much talent is in this year’s class.

Sure, these rankings will change over the next six months, but looking at the top prospects right now will give us plenty of time to continue focusing in on them to determine whether or not they’re going to be legitimate talents at the next level.

This list of Top 50 prospects is based off of my personal scouting notes alone, with my grades weighing this season more heavily than previous ones. I have watched as much tape as possible on these 50 guys, but unfortunately there are a few prospects I have yet to get a good enough look at to make determine where they should be ranked. Here’s an incomplete list of guys I haven’t gotten to yet who could very well wind up in my top 50 in the coming weeks:

  • Caleb Brantley, DL, Florida
  • Cordrea Tankersley, CB, Clemson
  • Jake Butt, TE, Michigan
  • Armani Watts, S, Texas A&M
  • Jehu Chesson, WR, Michigan
  • Ethan Pocic, C, LSU
  • Marcus Williams, S, Utah
  • JuJu Smith-Schuster, WR, USC
  • Lowell Lotulelei, DT, Utah
  • Roderick Johnson, OT, Florida State
  • Ryan Ramczyk, OT, Wisconsin

Keeping in mind that none of these guys will be on this list, here are my Top 50 NFL draft prospects through Week 10 of the college football season.
