The college football regular season has concluded and social media timelines are being littered with transfer portal and NFL Draft decisions. CBS Sports NFL Draft analysts Ryan Wilson, Chris Trapasso and myself compiled our rankings and created an updated look at the top 150 prospects.
It should be noted that players who have entered the transfer portal were excluded from the list. If they announce for the NFL Draft, then they will be added back to the list. Some transfer decisions may have slipped through the cracks so that will be addressed in the next update.
| 1. Will Anderson Jr., EDGE, Alabama |
| 2. Bryce Young, QB, Alabama |
| 3. Jalen Carter, DL, Georgia |
| 4. C.J. Stroud, QB, Ohio State |
| 5. Myles Murphy, DL, Clemson |
| 6. Will Levis, QB, Kentucky |
| 7. Peter Skoronski, OT, Northwestern |
| 8. Michael Mayer, TE, Notre Dame |
| 9. O'Cyrus Torrence, IOL, Florida |
| 10. Kelee Ringo, CB, Georgia |
| 11. Jared Verse, EDGE, Florida State |
| 12. Cam Smith, CB, South Carolina |
| 13. Brian Branch, CB, Alabama |
| 14. Antonio Johnson, S, Texas A&M |
| 15. Jahmyr Gibbs, RB, Alabama |
| 16. Bijan Robinson, RB, Texas |
| 17. Paris Johnson, OT, Ohio State |
| 18. Tyree Wilson, EDGE, Texas Tech |
| 19. Anthony Richardson, QB, Florida |
| 20. Siaki Ika, DL, Baylor |
| 21. Broderick Jones, OT, Georgia |
| 22. Jordan Addison, WR, USC |
| 23. Quentin Johnston, WR, TCU |
| 24. Christian Gonzalez, CB, Oregon |
| 25. Jaxon Smith-Njigba, WR, Ohio State |
The three of us work independently of one another, so it is always interesting to see how the rankings come together. First, there are three quarterbacks in the top 10, with Alabama's Bryce Young residing highest at No. 2 overall, and four among the top grouping. Alabama's Will Anderson Jr. (No. 1) and Georgia's Jalen Carter (No. 3) checking in as the top non-quarterbacks should not surprise anyone.
As high as Alabama's Jahmyr Gibbs (No. 15) is on my personal board, it was a surprise to see him ranked as the top running back over Texas' Bijan Robinson (No. 16). Notre Dame TE Michael Mayer (No. 8) is a reliable performer, but it is difficult to envision him ultimately being taken as high as he is in our rankings simply because he will not be a noteworthy athletic tester leading up to the draft.
Alabama leads the way with four representatives. The quarterback and cornerback positions are the two most well-represented with four apiece.
Two names fans may be searching for are LSU WR Kayshon Boutte and Penn State OT Olu Fashanu. The latter would have certainly appeared in this group and the former probably would have as well, but each made the decision to return to their respective schools.
| 26. Anton Harrison, OT, Oklahoma |
| 27. Darnell Washington, TE, Georgia |
| 28. Matthew Bergeron, OT, Syracuse |
| 29. Drew Sanders, EDGE, Arkansas |
| 30. Joey Porter Jr., CB, Penn State |
| 31. Bralen Trice, EDGE, Washington |
| 32. Clark Phillips III, CB, Utah |
| 33. Blake Freeland, OT, BYU |
| 34. Bryan Bresee, DL, Clemson |
| 35. Devon Witherspoon, CB, Illinois |
| 36. Felix Anudike-Uzomah, EDGE, Kansas State |
| 37. Jaylon Jones, CB, Texas A&M |
| 38. Trenton Simpson, LB, Clemson |
| 39. Nolan Smith, EDGE, Georgia |
| 40. Gervon Dexter, DL, Florida |
| 41. Dalton Kincaid, TE, Utah |
| 42. BJ Ojulari, EDGE, LSU |
| 43. Isaiah Foskey, EDGE, Notre Dame |
| 44. Andre Carter II, EDGE, Army |
| 45. Dawand Jones, OT, Ohio State |
| 46. Zay Flowers, WR, Boston College |
| 47. Josh Downs, WR, North Carolina |
| 48. Andrew Vorhees, IOL, USC |
| 49. Cooper Beebe, IOL, Kansas State |
| 50. Braeden Daniels, OT, Utah |
Clemson DL Bryan Bresee not appearing until No. 34 overall will come as a surprise. Teams may see his size and be intrigued by his athletic testing, but the on-field play has been inconsistent. North Carolina WR Josh Downs (No. 47) is ranked higher for me personally, but this is probably more in line with where he is projected to be taken. There are concerns about his size, but he is a good route-runner with the ability to create yards after the catch.
Seven edge rushers appear in the second group, indicating that there is good depth at the position; although Arkansas' Drew Sanders (No. 29) may play more of a linebacker role depending which team selects him. The offensive line (seven) and cornerback (four) positions are also well-represented.

| 97. Jammie Robinson, S, Florida State |
| 98. Cameron Mitchell, CB, Northwestern |
| 99. Keion White, DL, Georgia Tech |
| 100. Nick Broeker, OT, Ole Miss |
Michigan DL Mazi Smith (No. 58) and and Mississippi State CB Emmanuel Forbes (No. 94) are a few players who could really rise from this group. Georgia Tech DL Keion White (No. 99) is one of the more physically impressive prospects in the class. It would not be a surprise if he was a pre-draft darling and rose up the board. There are 16 secondary players who fall into this third grouping.
| 101. Brenton Cox Jr., EDGE, Florida |
| 102. Luke Musgrave, TE, Oregon State |

| 148. Chris Murray, IOL, Oklahoma |
| 149. Davonte Brown, CB, UCF |
| 150. Sean Tucker, RB, Syracuse |
Oregon State's Luke Musgrave (No. 102) and South Dakota State's Tucker Kraft (No. 125) stand out as two players who could see their stock rise among a deep, talented tight end class. The latter missed most of the regular season with an injury but returned to help his team during the postseason. After being stuck behind Teagan Quitoriano on the depth chart and being lightly used in the pass game, Musgrave was expected to blow up this season, but injuries limited him to just two games played.
Oregon's DJ Johnson (No. 111) and Iowa's Lukas Van Ness (No. 112) are two edge rushers who could be drafted higher than their placement on this list suggests. Johnson is a physically impressive pass rusher who could impress in the pre-draft process.
