It's a good year to need a running back, pass-rusher or defensive back in the 2017 NFL draft. And if your team can't get one early, don't panic: The depth is impressive. 

Judge this draft class against the previous classes—especially 2016—and it looks like a good year for most positions. The money spot, of course, is at quarterback, and there are three with a first-round grade. DeShone Kizer, Deshaun Watson and Brad Kaaya each offer unique traits, and all look like future NFL starters. After that, there is at least potential.

The running back class is loaded from top to bottom. Everyone knows about Leonard Fournette, but Dalvin Cook, Nick Chubb and Christian McCaffrey also carry a Round 1 grade at this point in the season. There are also another four backs with a second-round grade.

The weakness of the class is at offensive line. There's not a top-10 tackle—at least not with questions surrounding Cam Robinson—and while there are good players at guard and center, there isn't a Ryan Kelly-level center showing himself yet.

On defense, you can find franchise-caliber players at every position group. We'll spend months talking about Myles Garrett, Jonathan Allen and Reuben Foster—and for good reason. But it's the depth in the secondary that stands out. There are 10 legitimate NFL cornerbacks who could go in the first 50 picks. At safety, there are two blue-chip stars in Jamal Adams and Jabrill Peppers, with another first-rounder in Justin Evans. It's a good year to have needs or a lot of draft picks.

Which players should NFL teams be eyeing for the 2017 draft at this early juncture? Find out with my list of the top 50 overall players and then my top 10 players at each position.
