I think Lawrence will immediately be the 2nd best QB in the division this year. Etienne will be the 4th best RB. I could see Nico Collins immediately making an impact for the Texans too. Would still have him low, but higher than Cobb or Coutee. Lastly, Radunz would be my 2nd RT right away.

As far as the actual ranks, I think they're quite solid. I would move Mo Alie Cox to 2nd (hell, maybe first he's really good), I think the Colts have the two best TE in the division. I would move Marvin Jones up some too. He should be on par with Cooks, maybe ahead since Cooks has the major injury questions. I think Parris Campbell deserves a mention too. Obviously he's been injured most of his career, but when he has been healthy his talent looks like it would be in the top 6 or so range on that list. It's actually kinda crazy how easy it was to rank the olines. Don't think I disagree with any of it except the Radunz cop out.

I put rookies typically at the bottom because they are totally unproven.  If I were going on potential, many of the rookies would rank much higher, with the obvious example being Trevor Lawrence.  I actually agree with most of your rookie projections.

Thinking about it, reflexively ranking the rookies towards the bottom of the rankings is inconsistent to a degree, because I have Chark's production going up because of Lawrence, but have Cook's production dropping because of Taylor and Mills.  However, I rank them that way to minimize the possible impact of bias/homerism in my rankings.  It could be quite easy to see the potential in the Jaguars picks while being less cognizant of the potential in other team's picks.
