The NFL draft is still just over a little over two months away, but let's be honest.

0:04.6

It's never too early to dive into this rookie class and start putting the pre-draft rankings together.

0:11.1

I'm John McRae, joined as always by PFF's lead fantasy analyst, Nathan Yonkey.

So we could kind of get a sense of

0:22.4

who these players are and hopefully begin to help you all sort your rookie rankings heading into

0:26.8

the combine and beyond. So Nate, this is one of my favorite times of the year, diving into the new

0:32.6

incoming fantasy assets and then trying to project how they'll perform in the NFL and whether

0:37.4

or not they'll be worthy the NFL and whether or not

0:37.8

they'll be worthy of our precious rookie draft picks. So how are you doing as we officially enter

0:42.6

rookie season? I'm doing well, excited to talk about these rookies and interesting class we have

0:48.1

this year. Last year we had a bunch of running backs and tight ends. This year we have a lot of

0:52.2

wide receivers. So it does a nice job of balancing out last year's class. Yeah, it'll be, it'll be interesting. Well, I mean, we'll get into it, but yeah, some of the, I guess the running backs in the tight end class definitely didn't live up to what they were last year or yeah, in previous years, right, with the tight ends. So we'll see how it shakes out. Obviously, you know, you can never count these guys out or anything like that. A lot can change once they get to the NFL. But I'm definitely excited, like you said, about the wide receivers as well. And we'll definitely talk about a bunch of them today.
