Dupre is not 6'4". I've stood directly next to him. He's closer to 6'2".

So little and Eason (true FR) are already better players than Malachi dupre and cam Sutton (potential first round picks this upcoming draft)?

Makes sense

So Little abd Eason who have never played a down of college football are rated higher than Ross who had 88 catches and 1000+ yards and Haynes who has been a force for ole miss? Both of which project to be drafted. I don't get why these list include guys that have never played. There are such things as busts.

The only league with 98 players better than Dupre is the NFL. Destined to be a first round guy IMO.

sure, and all of the top 10 on this list could bust this year too.

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

To think that an extremely highly ranked national HS POTY playing QB for UGA is ranked higher than someone else isn't that outlandish.

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

You also have to factor in the system. Dupre is a great player but he won't put up eye popping numbers because he plays for LSU.Eason has a chance to be a top 3 QB in the SEC

What will Georgia's offensive philosophy be?

I'll admit I don't know who their OC is, but I'd imagine with smarts time w Saban it would be a more conservative pro style approach.

I'd think they will have solid defensive play and with a freshman QB he will be asked to manage the game not to win it. Just my opinion of course

I just think it's ridiculous to have a true freshman QB in th top 100 current college football players. He will have his freshman moments (good and bad), and if they play well I don't think he'll be asked to do too much with that running game.

I feel like there are more battle hardened experienced QBs out there not in the top 100 that would run UGAs offense better this season than any true freshman.
Now him starting this early will produce some exciting moments, and only speed up his development. He'll get there sooner because of it. Y'all could have a great QB soon

Carl Lawson, OJ Howard and Bo Scar are too high, UNLESS this list is a projection into the 2016 season. Based on past results, IMO, they are definitely too high.

I repeat, Jarrad Davis should be higher.

I don't disagree, and I think that Eddie Jackson is too low.

Well Jacob Eason is on this list so I'm gonna guess they're projections. I think Eason's way too high at 71, but I hope I'm wrong. I think the rest of the list is pretty solid though.
