Who are the top prospects in the 2018 NFL Draft?

It’s early in the pre-draft process, but there’s no consensus on who the top prospects are this year.

The 2018 NFL Draft will be more interesting than most drafts in the sense that there’s not a real consensus on who the top prospects are.

Last year, there was no question that Myles Garrett was the top player in the draft. Even the Cleveland Browns couldn’t screw that up, and the top prospect ended up being the top pick.

The previous year was a little different, as there was a lot of debate as to whether Jared Goff, Carson Wentz, Joey Bosa or Jalen Ramsey were the top dogs.

In 2015, there was no doubt Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota were the top dogs. 2014 was all about Jadeveon Clowney.

The top of the 2013 food chain were two stud offensive tackles in Eric Fisher and Luke Joeckel. 2012 was perhaps the easiest layup of them all with Andrew Luck on top.

But so far, 2018 is not presenting a consensus as to who the top guys are. ESPN’s Todd McShay has Penn State running back Saquon Barkley on top, followed by NC State pass-rusher Bradley,

But CBS Sports has Chubb taking the top spot (Barkley is 7th in that ranking). CBS is also going against the grain and listing potential Bengals target Orlando Brown as the No. 5 prospect.
