Episode 11 - Ready for the Draft 2019 Podcast Series

Readyforthedraft.com's Gregg Schutze shares his passion for the NFL draft and takes you on a journey leading up to the 2019 NFL Draft.

In Episode 11, Gregg talks about the upsets that shook up the college football landscape as 11 ranked teams lost in Week 9.  How did this impact the Selection Committee's first College Football Playoff rankings?   Alabama, Clemson, LSU and Notre Dame are at the top with Michigan, Georgia, Oklahoma, Washington State and Kentucky on the outside looking in.  Gregg looks at the remaining schedules to see what each team needs to do to contend for a playoff spot.

Gregg also takes a moment to cover his secondary rankings.  Greedy Williams and Deandre Baker are clearly the class of the cornerback position, though Damon Arnette should draw some 1st Round consideration, his absence was definitely felt in Ohio State's loss to Purdue.  Byron Murphy and Kendall Sheffield are the future of the position, but are they ready for the next level yet?   At the safety position, Deionte Thompson and Taylor Rapp have separated themselves from the pack.  Both are versatile and have proven they can play in the box against the run, can get after the QB and have the range and ball skills to play over the top in coverage.  Keep an eye on physical in-the-box defenders Chauney Gardner-Johnson and Johnathan Abram as well as veteran leader Jaquan Johnson and don't count out Andrew Wingard, who has amassed over 400 tackles in his collegiate career and always seems to be arond the football.
