With the College Football Playoff semifinals—cloaked in a lot of Peach Bowl and Fiesta Bowl signage—set for Saturday night, I figured this would be a good place to take a look at the prospects playing and how they stack up. So I went to a few evaluators this week to try to rank the guys taking the field this weekend who are likely to come off the board first. Here’s the list, with the caveat that injured guys who won’t play, like Ohio State WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba (likely to go in the back half of the first round) and Georgia OLB Nolan Smith (probably going somewhere on Day 2, with an outside shot at being the first round) aren’t part of it, nor are premier 2024 prospects like Buckeyes receiver Marvin Harrison Jr.
