Mendoza and Simpson are the top two in most rankings. After that, it can change. Miami’s Carson Beck is noticeably absent from this list, although, outside of Mendoza, he is the most decorated.
Mendoza is going to be the first overall pick. Simpson could go in Round 1 or Round 2. Everyone else is a mix of Round 3 of Day 3.
