Ranking the 2018 NFL Draft Prospects in the MAC

Ranking the 2018 NFL Draft Prospects in the MAC

It's never too early (or too late) to talk about the NFL Draft, so as we enter June — why not talk about 2018? 

In this instance, we're focusing on the talent-rich MAC. 

Top 2018 NFL Draft Prospects by Conference
SEC East | SEC West | ACC | Big Ten | Pac-12 | Big 12 | AAC | MAC | FCS

The site NFLDraftScout.com ranks 2018 prospects by position, even this early — though the site has not assigned an overall ranking just yet. So we take each player's position ranking and compared it to what happened late last month to give a ballpark of where a guy might land next year. It's not scientific, but it gives you an idea.

For example, Northern Illinois' Shawun Lurry is rated the No. 18 cornerback for  the 2018 NFL Draft class (please note we're not including underclassmen yet, as nobody will officially declare until after the season). In the April 2017 NFL Draft, the No. 18 cornerback was selected No. 101 overall, a third-rounder.

So let's take a look at the MACs 2018 prospects and where they might end up in the draft (again, all projections are using NFLDraftScout.com). Rankings used were as of May 28.
