Dr. U,
Nice list! The only major difference in my list is Russell going before Quinn. They squared off head to head and Russell destroyed him (and both teams had similar talent). Russell also has one of those chances to be truly special, where Quinn may start his whole career in the NFL, but doesn’t have the upside of Russell.

Kyle,
I agree with you that Russell has more upside than Quinn. However, I think Quinn will be a little more conservative than Russell to begin their NFL careers.
I envision Russell taking more shots down the field, which will lead to a few more long touchdowns, but it will also lead to more picks. I think Quinn will take the nickel and dime approach and rely on a short passing game to move the ball down the field.
That being said, when it is all said and done, I could see Russell having the better career, but at this stage, I rank Quinn slightly higher. However, I certainly can understand someone flip flopping the two and having Russell ranked ahead of Quinn. They are real close in my rankings.
Thank you for the comment.

BSU Fan,
Legedu Naanee is a reliable wide receiver. I think he has a legitimate chance to make an NFL roster. I will watch out for him as a sleeper.
Thank you for the comment and the tip.
