The 2019 college football season hasn’t begun yet, although it is right around the corner.

However, that doesn’t stop guys like ESPN’s Mel Kiper. Kiper cares about one thing and one thing only: The NFL Draft.

When is the next draft? That would be next year, after both the 2019 college football and NFL seasons come to an end. With that said, it’s never to early to start ranking players, and on Wednesday, Kiper came out with the top 25 players on his 2020 NFL Draft big board.

7. Tristan Wirfs, OT, Iowa

15. Jeffrey Okudah, CB, Ohio State

16. Yetus Gross-Matos, DE, Penn State
