Top 5 Guaranteed Ballers in NFL Draft

0:00On April 1st, this year's NFL Draft Class is flipping the script with the top spots loaded with running backs, linebackers and safeties instead of the usual quarterbacks or edge rushers. Past rushers like David Bailey, Arbel Reese, and Ruben Bain could still go high, maybe even number two overall, but the real headliners are at those. Less flashy spots. Commanders analyst Logan Paulson broke it down with his top five guaranteed ballers. Players, he says, are locks to shine, no matter where they land. Paulson's been months grinding tape, and he sees these guys as low-risk kits in a draft full of gambles. Positions like running back and linebacker can be tough for rookies, but his picks stand out for their all-around games and football IQ. It's a shift from past years where premium spots dominated the board. Take Jeremiah Love from Notre Dame, at running back, explosive with sure hands, who just needs touches to pop. Then sunny styles, the Ohio State linebacker, bill for over 100 tackles a season, special enough to handle the position's learning curve right away.

After catch, Makai Lemon from USC brings that fire, tough in the slot like a young Steve Smith, blocking and battling despite his size. Their versatility could lock down roles early. Wrapping it up, Tanner Cozal, the 6'6 and a half tight end from Houston with massive arms, owns the red zone and has late round upside in the right system. Paulson's list spotlights, how this draft for wards well-rounded talent, so watch these names light of training camps come summer.
