Notice, it's not "best draft eligible players" or "highest future NFL picks", it's top players for 2016.

Exactly, it's not highest future picks, it's 2016 and an 18 year old QB who has never played a down is not a top 100 player after 4 weeks of spring ball.

Could he be playing like one by the end of the season? Possibly.

Leonard fournette was the #1 HS player and as physically ready for college as anyone. He rushed for 1000 yards as a FR and I would probably not have had him in the top 100 players of 2014. Top 100 players you want on your roster, of course due to having 3 years of eligibility left and the expected growth in his game (which happened). Not one of the 100 best overall players that season. He did end the year hot though.

Yes Eason was ranked highly, so were a bunch of guys not on that list that have already proven themselves on the field.

Malachi dupre was a top 20 5 star, and will likely be a first round pick in 8 months. You think Eason would be selected round 1 at 19 yrs old even if eligible next draft? No, he wouldn't be ready. The 100 best players in college football are physically/mentally advanced enough to start/contribute in the NFL 12 months later. He is not a top 100 player at this time, though could very well be #1 in 3 years
