Josh Rosen - QB - Bruins UCLA junior QB Josh Rosen is viewed by NFL evaluators as the likeliest from the 2018 class to start from day one.
A group of seven evaluators gushed to Charles Robinson over Rosen's ability to "spin the ball" and his throwing motion. That group also listed Rosen as the top quarterback prospect in the class. We will continue to hear about possible signs of immaturity with Rosen, but things are swinging in his direction as the top prospect at his position.
That's a new one. The quote derives from Charles Robinson's recent piece and places the conversation back in June, but we are amazed a person paid to evaluate for an NFL team focuses on a player's "face," concluding with "overrated" and "you can have him." In terms of actual football criticisms, Robinson goes on to cite scouts' concerns about Darnold wanting to force big plays by leaving the pocket too early. Be sure to check out the full piece below.

Michael Jackson - DB - Hurricanes
Miami beat writer Peter Ariz reports junior CB Michael Jackson is leaning towards entering the 2018 NFL Draft.
2017 was Jackson's only season as a starter, but like other Miami defenders he definitely took the next step. Thomas recorded four interceptions this season. Declarations aren't official until January.

Tremaine Edmunds - LB - Hokies
Draft Analyst's Tony Pauline writes that Virginia Tech junior OLB Tremaine Edmunds has developed into "a tremendous force" at the position.
Pauline notes that the 6-foot-5, 236-pound Edmunds possesses a knack for "disrupting the action up the field and behind the line of scrimmage as well as outside the box." The junior is still weighing his options in terms of a declaration, saying several days ago that he will let HC Justin Fuente and staff make the final decision as to whether or not he should submit paperwork to the NFL draft advisory committee. He'll be in the late first-round discussion if he does declare. Edmunds finished up the regular-season campaign having recorded a meaty 101 tackles (14.0 for loss), 5.5 sacks and three fumbles forced while playing in all 12 of Virginia Tech's games.

Josh Allen - QB - Cowboys
Walter Football's Charlie Campbell relays that team scouts at the National Football Scouting meetings believe that Wyoming redshirt junior QB Josh Allen remains very much in play to be drafted within in the top 10 picks.
"Sources say Allen also has a good football IQ," Campbell writes, adding that "[a]n AFC director of college scouting stated there are too many quarterback-starved teams around the league for Allen to fall far." Should USC's Sam Darnold return to school -- Campbell is hearing that he will and there have been consistent rumblings that this is a possibility -- the analyst passes along that there are some in the evaluating community who believe the Wyoming gunslinger will end up as the second-highest graded quarterback in the spring draft behind only UCLA's Josh Rosen.

Anyone else read any of the comments on the top 4-5 QBs that could be in this class and want to scream "Bull Shit"? Damn near every single one of the guys I thought would go in the top 10 have collectively shit the bed, went out to Taco Bell and ordered one of everything, and shit the bed again...Allen was HORRIFIC...Darnold had more turnovers than your local bakery...Rosen was hot and cold, then injured...they'll get over-drafted on position as none of these guys have any merit going top 10 anymore...at least IMO...
