Quarterbacks

1. Ryan Tannehill
2. AJ McCarron
3. Blaine Gabbert
4. Brian Hoyer
5. Trevor Siemian

The QB class remaining is…not nice. Tannehill is the very best of the bunch, however he’s 35 years outdated and coming off an injury-riddled 2023 season. He can nonetheless be efficient in a play action-heavy offense, however he could be higher off as a high-level backup. After Tannehill, good luck.

Working Backs

1. Jerick McKinnon
2. Damien Harris
3. Kareem Hunt
4. Latavius Murray
5. Cam Akers

I’m actually type of stunned that McKinnon remains to be out there. He’s a very good move protector and is an excellent efficient within the passing recreation. He could be an excellent good slot in any offense that wants a lift within the passing recreation. Harris and Murray are actually attention-grabbing early down choices, Harris being a very good hammer within the beneath middle recreation. Akers might need probably the most potential as a house run participant, however he’s left loads on the desk in each consistency and availability.

Large Receivers

1. Russell Gage
2. Hunter Renfrow
3. Sterling Shepard
4. Michael Thomas
5. Jamal Agnew

The WR group remaining is attention-grabbing. There’s a variety of potential right here for some stable WR2s and three’s, however all of them include severe damage issues. Gage is the very best of the bunch to me, however he’s just a little injury-prone. Michael Thomas is the largest one, nevertheless. He could be a excellent exterior receiver, however his availability would be the query.

Tight Ends

1. Marcedes Lewis
2. Logan Thomas
3. Blake Bell
4. Shane Zylstra
5. Jimmy Graham

Yeah…if the very best tight finish on this checklist is a good finish who’s 40 years outdated, you may wanna move on this group. Bell is a relaly attention-grabbing candidate for a second blocking TE although.

Offensive Tackles

1. DJ Humphries
2. Charles Leno
3. David Bakhtiari
4. Donovan Smith
5. Duane Brown

Lot of vets out there on the deal with market, with a lot of them coming in as left tackles. Humphries is a stable participant who can present stability to a line, as will Leno. Bakhtiari has been the very best of the bunch over his profession, however with the myriad of accidents he could be on the board till a workforce with Tremendous Bowl aspirations comes alongside.

Offensive Guards

1. Halapoulivaati Vaitai
2. Phil Haynes
3. Trai Turner
4. Mark Glowinski

Facilities

1. Connor Williams
2. Connor McGovern
3. Mason Cole
4. James Ferentz
5. Scott Quessenberry

So after the Connors, it’s not an incredible checklist, nevertheless the highest two might assist a zone blocking workforce. Williams has expertise at guard and middle, and may very well be a stable choice if a beginning middle goes down.

Defensive Tackles

1. Al Woods
2. Linval Joseph
3. Lawrence Man
4. Chris Wormley
5. Bryan Mone

There’s a variety of run stoppers left among the many defensive deal with group. Woods is up there in age, however remains to be a very good run-stopping 1T who can play on early downs. Joseph might need a bit extra put on and tear, however he is also an attention-grabbing man for a protection that wants assist in the run recreation.

EDGES

1. Carl Lawson
2. Emmanuel Ogbah
3. Tyus Bowser
4. Yannick Ngakoue
5. Calais Campbell

If there’s anybody who I feel can have a Clowney or Van Noy affect on their subsequent workforce, it’s Lawson or Ogbah. Lawson handled accidents and an insane assortment of expertise, however could be a very highly effective rusher in a 4 down entrance. Ogbah was type of miscast in a protection that made him get up on the EDGE, however once more, he could be an excellent complementary rusher to an already licensed star in a 4 down entrance. Ngakoue is the very best move rusher of the group, however doesn’t provide a lot exterior of that. Campbell is tremendous enjoyable, however could be nearing the twilight of his profession.

Linebackers

1. Kwon Alexander
2. Zach Cunningham
3. Blake Martinez
4. Shaq Leonard
5. Anthony Barr

Whew, one other one the place there’s not loads on the board. Alexander is the very best off-ball LB of the bunch, however after that there’s a variety of specialists. Cunningham, Leonard and Martinez are good towards the run, however are very restricted in move protection. Barr could be a good blitzer, however that could be it at this level.

Cornerbacks

1. Stephon Gilmore
2. Adoree Jackson
3. Xavien Howard
4. Steven Nelson
5. JC Jackson

Growing older vets are the secret for the secondary group that’s out there. Gilmore is the very best of the group, having nonetheless performed at a comparatively excessive stage for the Cowboys final yr. In a heavy man protection scheme he must be somebody that will get a name. Jackson is attention-grabbing as a result of he’s younger, has performed a variety of snaps, and exhibits good restoration velocity. Howard’s greatest video games could be behind him, however he can nonetheless be precious in the suitable spot.

Safeties

1. Justin Simmons
2. Quandre Diggs
3. Micah Hyde
4. Jamal Adams
5. Eddie Jackson

This group is crammed with a variety of guys who shall be day 1 starters if introduced in right this moment. Simmons is a shock, he can play the put up and be extraordinarily versatile in a quarters-style protection. Diggs is a excessive power participant who at all times finds himself across the ball. Adams catches a variety of flack, however for a workforce who runs a variety of simulated pressures and blitzes Adams could be actually enjoyable.
