The NFL draft is always a time of excitement and anticipation, as teams and fans alike eagerly await the arrival of the next generation of stars. But how do these young players stack up against one another? In this article, we’ll revisit the last three NFL drafts, ranking players from each pool against one another to form a top 10.
Quarterback

Cornerback
Cornerback is another crucial position in football, requiring a unique combination of speed, agility, and ball skills. But who are the top cornerbacks from the last three drafts?
According to Steelers cornerback Joey Porter Jr., he’s the best cornerback in the league. And the stats back him up. In his rookie season, Porter made 11 starts out of 17 games, totaling 10 passes defended and one interception with 43 combined tackles. He finished fifth in Defensive Rookie of the Year voting for his efforts on a tough Steelers’ defense that played a major role in them earning a playoff spot last season.

Porter’s confidence is key to his success, and it’s something he’s had to develop over time. “I always try to keep my confidence up, my swagger up,” Porter Jr. said. “Coming into the building, I always felt that I was that guy. You have to work to get that respect, but I think everybody understands what I can bring to the table.”

Wide Receiver
The wide receiver position is one of the most competitive in the NFL, with talented players vying for limited spots on the depth chart. But who are the top wide receivers from the last three drafts?
The Ravens recently made Malik Cunningham’s move from QB to WR official, and it’s a transition that’s been in the works for some time. Cunningham has been cross-trained as a QB, WR, and special teams contributor, and has even appeared in one game with the Ravens, taking four snaps, all at receiver.

Ravens WR coach Greg Lewis said Tuesday that Cunningham has transitioned well to the new job. “He loves the game, and he wants to find any way he can to get on the field,” Lewis said. “If it’s at receiver, quarterback, running back, D-line, he’s out there trying to get it done.”

In conclusion, the NFL’s next generation of stars is full of talented players who are making a name for themselves in the league. From quarterbacks to cornerbacks to wide receivers, these young players are making an impact and will continue to shape the future of the NFL.
