It's never too early to start thinking about the NFL Draft, especially in a year of football that's been filled with injury and parity.
While it is still a little early for mock drafts, we came up with a consensus list of the 32 best players in the 2016 Draft using the big boards of five NFL Draft experts.
The experts: Todd McShay of ESPN, Rob Rang of CBS Sports, Charlie Campbell of Fox Sports, and Matt Miller and Ryan McCrystal of Bleacher Report.
You'll notice that it's an Alabama and Ohio State-heavy draft, and that exactly zero Oklahoma Sooners are on the list, which feels surprising considering they're FiveThirtyEight's favorite to win the National Championship.
Here are the prospects:
Average Rank: 2.4
Top 32s: 5 of 5
Highest Rank: 1
