My list with the same criteria last year was highly criticized by the board, so I figured I would make a new one and get some more abuse. This year, I have sat down with the whole roster to try to be sure that I have no glaring omissions. NOTE: These ranking do NOT attempt to consider value to our team but to rank purely based on football talent as I project the players' ultimate ceilings. Don't be shy in your critiques and disagreements, but please don't be a jerk about it either. Without further ado, here goes nothing............
1 Derek Barnett - Simply can be ranked nowhere else on this list
2 Jalen Hurd - can't put him behind anyone besides DB
3 Shy Tuttle - I hate that freaking UGA lineman
4 Cam Sutton - the PR skills push him just barely ahead of JRM
5 Jalen Reeves-Maybin - Butkus Award contender for 2016
6 Darrin Kirkland Jr. - if you didn't notice how special he is…I don't know what to say
7 Kyle Phillips - this requires some projection; relying on @corner36 knowledge here
8 Khalil McKenzie - I did have him at #1 last year
9 Jonathan Kongbo - he'll have to refine his football skills to achieve this, but Stripling will get him going
10 Chance Hall - great, great evaluation by Butch's staff
11 Rashaan Gaulden - Hate that he was hurt last year
12 Tyler Byrd - yes, I know he will be a freshman
13 Darrell Taylor - yeah, yeah, I know we haven't seen him yet; I still feel confident with having him this high
14 Jarrett Guarantano - yes, I have him above Dobbs; this list is based on my projection of guy's ceilings
15 Alvin Kamara - I might be skewing low based on NFL Draft value and limited PR opportunites
16 Nigel Warrior
17 Justin Martin - could have a huge, huge 2016
18 Drew Richmond - I really hope he proves this year that he should be here or higher
19 Jashon Robertson
20 Evan Berry - would be higher if he had showed more already at safety; elite, elite KR
21 Preston Williams - neck and neck with Malone for most talented WR on roster
22 Josh Malone - he or somebody needs to step up and be the alpha receiver
23 Jauan Jennings
24 Marquill Osborne - I expect folks to say this is high
25 Josh Dobbs - Elite runner as a QB, and great leader of the offense; if he develops some deep touch, could still have an outside NFL shot
26 Coleman Thomas
27 Marquez Callaway
28 Jeff George
29 Josh Smith - will very, very likely be more productive than Callaway or George in 2016
30 Todd Kelly Jr.
31 Quentin Dormady - I really think this is too low for him; but have him here to attempt to limit the backlash
32 Ethan Wolf
33 Alexis Johnson - This might be low
34 Austin Smith
35 John Kelly
36 Devante Brooks - Going out on a limb here, but if his knee is recovered, he will be a beast; this won't show up in 2016
37 Dillon Bates - biggest unknown on the roster; could be 15 or 55 on this list
38 Dylan Weisman - will be a battle between he and Jack Jones for the RG spot
39 Jack Jones - that a top-100 guy who isn't a bust could be this low is indicative of the job Butch has done recruiting
40 Vincent Perry - might be a little high, but maybe not; huge opportunity to run away with the slot spot
41 Sheriron Jones
42 Quarte Sapp
43 Cortez McDowell
44 Eman Moseley
45 Marcus Tatum - Some may think this is high, but UF was after him hard
46 Venzell Boulware
47 Andrew Butcher
48 Micah Abernathy
49 Stephen Griffin
50 Jason Croom
51 Trevor Daniel - Beast of a punter; argument could be made that he belongs in the top-30
52 Corey Vereen
53 Malik Foreman
54 Latroy Lewis
55 Danny O'Brien
56 Daniel Bituli
57 Kendal Vickers
58 Carlin Fils-Aime
59 Dimarya Mixon - With Miller, most-forgotten 2 guys on the roster
60 Quay Picou
61 Ja'Quain Blakely
62 D.J. Henderson
63 Darrell Miller - maybe the most-forgotten man on the roster
64 Corey Henderson
65 Baylen Buchanan
66 Charles Mosley
67 Latrell Williams - this could end up being pretty low in the future
68 Austin Pope
69 Nathan Niehaus - this could end up looking very low in the future
70 Ryan Johnson
71 Brett Kendrick
72 Jakob Johnson
73 Gavin Bryant
74 Joe Young
75 Neiko Creamer
76 Brandon Johnson - too little track record to be any higher, but the bloodlines….
77 Elliot Berry
78 Aaron Medley
79 Austin Sanders
80 Ray Raulerson
81 Tommy Townsend - hopefully a good punter, might be very good, but Daniel is excellent
82 Kenny Bynum
83 Riley Lovingood - even though he is this low, if he is good he could make money playing this game
84 Cody Blanc
85 Dontavius Blair - sorry, Dontavius, someone had to be here
