Miller at ESPN has 12 guys with true 1stcround grades on them. The lowest # since he's been doing this.

#1. Travis Hunter, WR/CB, Colorado
#2. Abdul Carter, DE/OLB, Penn State
#3. Will Johnson, CB, Michigan
#4. Kelvin Banks Jr., OT, Texas
#5. Mason Graham, DT, Michigan
#6. Malaki Starks, S, Georgia
#7. Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise St.
#8. Jalon Walker, LB/Edge, Georgia
#9. Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State
#10. Luther Burden III, WR Missouri
#11. Tetairoa McMillan, WE, Arizona
#12. Mykel Williams, DE Georgia
No QBs, only 1 OT, only 1 CB. Acouple guys at less valued positions (RB, TE, S).
For me:
Tier 1: Run to podium, needs/schmeeds
#1. Travis Hunter, WR/CB, Colorado
#2. Abdul Carter, DE/OLB, Penn State
#3. Will Johnson, CB, Michigan
#5. Mason Graham, DT, Michigan
#6. Malaki Starks, S, Georgia
#8. Jalon Walker, LB/Edge, Georgia
#9. Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State
If Tee isn't back, I'd add the WRs. No on Jeanty or the OT, other needs take precedence. Williams worries me a bit as a tools guy who has not been as productive as his tools suggest he could be. But the above 8, I run to the podium. Starks, Warren, and Walker are the only ones I reallyvsee with a shot at being there.
