Jordan Katz Top 5 By Position
This is my own personal list for my top five players by position. For edge rushers, I put them at what I feel is their more natural position, be it a 4-3 defensive end or a 3-4 outside linebacker. This goes for offensive lineman as well. If I believe a tackle is better suited at a guard, I put him there. This also may not reflect the order that I have them in my recent mock draft. My mock draft is based on team needs as well as scheme fits.
