NFL Draft 2018: 70 Best Prospects from the West Coast

Notre Dame v USC

Who are the top NFL Draft prospects from the Pac-12, Mountain Western Conference, and other prominent football teams on the West Coast?

Here are the top players from Universities in California, Colorado, Arizona, Nevada, Idaho and the other schools that fans on the West Coast care and know about.

We did our best to rank them but the bottom is a little jumbled because it is impossible to catch consensus or film for ever single prospect. Plus, you’re really splitting hairs when you’re deciding between UDFAs and late draft picks.

Otherwise, I used a combination of my own scouting eyes and research to conduct this draft. I also deferred to Mat Miller’s position rankings and SB Nation’s top 200 if I wasn’t aware of a player.

Either way, this is a great way to track your favorite college team’s prospects as well as those rivals you couldn’t stand. Here’s the top 70 and congrats to all the kids on and not on this list. Many of them will begin their life long dreams this weekend.
