Our big board does not include quarterbacks — you can find our QB rankings here — but this edition is loaded with pass rushers and safeties.

It also highlights how special Alabama and Ohio State were talent-wise in 2016. You might learn more about a few of these prospects during and after the Combine.

2017 NFL Draft Big Board: Top 100 players

  1. Myles Garrett, DE, Texas A&M

The draft’s best prospect, Garrett will be the first non-quarterback drafted and maybe the top overall pick. He’s among the best defensive prospects since 2000.

  1. Jonathan Allen, DE, Alabama

If not for Garrett, Allen would be the clear top prospect. Had he entered the draft a year ago, he would have been a top 25 pick. Now he’s almost assured a top five selection as a defensive end or tackle.

  1. Malik Hooker, S, Ohio State

He has drawn Ed Reed comparisons for good reason. Hooker has natural instincts and remarkable ball skills. He could offer a similar value as Earl Thomas has in the modern NFL and is worth a top 10 pick.

  1. Jamal Adams, S, LSU

Not only can Adams play with force as a tackler in the run game as a strong safety, but he also can run horizontally and vertically with faster running backs and quarterbacks. Plus, he’s a proven leader on defense.

  1. O.J. Howard, TE, Alabama

With incredible hands, high character and high-level athleticism, Howard will likely go in the top 10 despite not being all that productive in college.

  1. Reuben Foster, ILB, Alabama

Foster was a huge reason why the Alabama defense developed so well, and he was constantly in position despite so much turnover. A trusted leader who also finishes in traffic, he has outside-the-box range and developed coverage fundamentals. 

  1. Garrett Bolles, OT, Utah

The top offensive tackle in the draft, Bolles uses awesome strength and control as he works laterally. He erases speed rushers on the perimeter and can finish after first contact. Despite being a 25-year-old rookie, he’s worth a top 10 pick.

  1. Jalen “Teez” Tabor, CB, Florida

It’ll be a long discussion as to who the draft’s top cornerback is, but for now, Tabor takes the top spot. He is extremely controlled as he disrupts routes and at the point of attack.

  1. Marshon Lattimore, CB, Ohio State

Probably the most athletically and physicality gifted cornerback in the class, Lattimore is the favorite to be the top cornerback drafted.

  1. Dalvin Cook, RB, Florida State

Injuries and off-field issues aside, Cook has the best chance to be the 2017 version of Todd Gurley and Ezekiel Elliott. He’s remarkably explosive at the second level.

  1. Leonard Fournette, RB, LSU

Fournette has received plenty of critiques already this draft season, but he’s still a special runner. His most apt comparison might be DeMarco Murray, and he could have similar breakout success in the right system.

  1. Ryan Ramczyk, OT, Wisconsin

Ramczyk is just a one-year starter at the FBS level and is coming off surgery, but he was tremendously effective in the Big Ten and could be the next Badger offensive lineman to go in the first round.

  1. John Ross, WR, Washington

Explosive and with great separation skills, Ross might be a surprise as the top-ranked receiver in the 2017 class. But he should be among the fastest receivers at the Combine and have similar metrics as Odell Beckham Jr. out of college.

  1. Soloman Thomas, DE, Stanford

Thomas impressed in flashes this year, but he’s not a top 10-worthy prospect with his scheme fit and true NFL position yet to be determined. Still, he should be considered in the first round.

  1. Mike Williams, WR, Clemson

Powerful and possessing excellent ball skills and concentration, Williams has the makeup of a featured NFL receiver and double-digit touchdown producer.

  1. Corey Davis, WR, Western Michigan

The third in a very narrow receiver comparison, Davis is more tied with Ross and Williams than a notch below. Productive, efficient and with awesome body control, Davis easily could become the most productive rookie of the bunch.

  1. Zach Cunningham, ILB, Vanderbilt

With ideal size and length, and with the hip fluidity to both finish with balance as a perimeter run defender and in coverage, Cunningham has near elite traits for an inside linebacker prospect.

  1. Tre’Davious White, CB, LSU

Despite being under 6-0 and likely off some teams’ early round boards because of it, White might be the most NFL-ready cornerback. His feistiness as a tackler and at the catch point should make him a steal for a team if he falls to Round 2.

  1. D’Onta Foreman, RB, Texas

If Foreman tests as well at the Combine (as expected), there’s a real chance he earns consideration as the top running back in the class. Reminding of Jamal Lewis, Foreman is young without a lot of carries and has tremendous acceleration after contact.

  1. Justin Evans, S, Texas A&M

An athletic, controlled perimeter player, Evans can play the hybrid safety role. His patience, decisiveness and finishing ability could allow him thrive early in his career.

  1. Forrest Lamp, G, Western Kentucky

If not for an early-week injury at the Senior Bowl, Lamp might have risen like Zach Martin did three years ago into the mid-first round. The former tackle offers lateral control in the short area and athleticism to work to the second level.

  1. Taco Charlton, DE, Michigan

Charlton still has plenty of room to grow and develop, but he’s already one of the better pass rushers in the 2017 class. His ceiling likely makes him a top 20 pick.

  1. Jordan Willis, DE, Kansas State

While he’s a bit linear, Willis is remarkably explosive, and he produced with force and multiple perimeter rush moves in college. After a strong Senior Bowl, he’s firmly in the first-round discussion.

  1. Cam Robinson, OT, Alabama

Prior off-field issues and inconsistencies as a junior have given some NFL pause on the 21-year-old prospect’s risk vs. reward. He still will be a first-round pick because he has high-level talent and plenty of upside at a premium position.

  1. Tyus Bowser, OLB, Houston

If not for an accidental eye injury this year, Bowser might have been the FBS sack and tackle for loss leader despite playing more traditional linebacker roles. He’s a pass-rushing ace with surprising coverage ability and plenty of upside to merit a first-round grade.

  1. Carlos Henderson, WR, Louisiana Tech

With vertical speed, a handful of jaw-dropping performances in 2016 and awesome catch-point finishes on the perimeter, Henderson is a dark horse to storm the late-first round if he can take advantage of the Combine.

  1. Takkarist McKinley, DE, UCLA

Explosive on the perimeter, “Tak” McKinley would usually be among the best pass-rushers in a draft, but he’ll be battling for first-round consideration in a loaded class. He’s a pure 3-4 outside linebacker speed rusher who comes from a long line of successful UCLA rushers.

  1. Josh Harvey-Clemons, S, Louisville

At 6-4 and over 230 pounds, Harvey-Clemons is a unique athlete at safety who also played linebacker during his time at Georgia and Louisville. His upside alone might allow him to rise to the top 32 picks on draft day.

  1. Antonio Garcia, OT, Troy

Being light on his feet and able to generate strength despite being less than 300 pounds draws Tyron Smith comparisons for Garcia, but he’s not that special of a prospect. If he can showcase his athleticism at the Combine, he could be more of a first-round lock.

  1. Jabrill Peppers, S/LB, Michigan

Peppers is a special athletic talent who did a bit of everything at Michigan. But his NFL position is still to be determined, and without a sound NFL projection, Peppers might have to sell himself to teams if he hopes to be a safe first-rounder.

  1. David Njoku, TE, Miami (Fla.)

Set to be one of the biggest Combine “winners,” Njoku has rare athleticism, after-catch movement skills and the upside to be a truly special tight end prospect.

  1. Jarrad Davis, LB, Florida

If not for injury concerns, Davis and his massive body type that compares to Lawrence Timmons or Brandon Spikes would be a first-round lock. He’s still set to be a high-skill inside linebacker in a 3-4 defense and could be an awesome value early on Day 2.

  1. Isaiah Ford, WR, Virginia Tech

  3. Marlon Humphrey, CB, Alabama
