Same 5 players projected in top 10 for 2016 draft:
- Thread starter nclion70
- Start date
No way Jones is taken in the first round...his star will burn out long before next spring. He won't even start and may not see a lot of PT down the stretch run of the season. The time to strike for that young man was this year before anybody had any real tape on him.
Of the three OSU players, I think the safest bet is Elliott.
However, I don't see him as a top 5 as most pro teams think they can get a serviceable to good back in a later round.
I think seeing Jones for a whole year may expose some warts. There had to have been a reason why Barrett beat him out.
Not sure on Bosa. Is he that good or is he on a team of solid players where he gets mostly one on ones. May be great in college but who knows in the pros?

Sorry, I doubt 3 of those 5 players end up in the top 5. Elliot simply because RBs do not go that high. Jones, let's see if he plays this year and how he does. I, for one, am hoping he is the OSU starter, A QB that runs off tackle is a tough bet to last a whole season. He can throw the ball deep, but let's see him make a full season of reads and throws. Oakman reminds me of Armstead from Oregon. Production on the field doesn't match the size/speed combo. From what I've seen, plays straight up and down. Overpowers the weaker OTs, but not the good ones.
