(Since it seems to be limited to those updated within the past two weeks, the total number of samples has decreased and a simple comparison cannot be made, but it has been aggregated.)
(All six of Arizona’s No. 3 picks are David Bailey, and NYJ picks Arvell Reese at No. 2 overall).
(If Arizona’s 3rd place is Mauigoa, this 2nd overall NYJ has one of the 5 players being David Bailey and the other 4 are Arvell Reese.In that case, one Bailey is ranked 6th overall CLE, and 3 are 8th overall NO).
(Arvell Reese is No. 3 for Arizona, and all three are David Bailey of NYJ, No. 2 overall).
(As of now, it seems 70% likely that NYJ, who is ranked 2nd overall, will pick Arvell Reese, and Arizona is divided on whether to pick EDGE’s Bailey or OT’s Mauigoa.)

(Arvell Reese, 6-4, 241, ran the 40 yards in 4.46 seconds at the combine, making his ratings soar. David Bailey also improved by running the 40 yards in 4.5 seconds and long jumping 10-9. Both players made NFL.com’s All-Combine Team.
Rueben Bain’s rating has been lowered slightly due to concerns about his short arms, but he remains a top-10 prospect and some still expect him to be picked before Bailey.)

(Spencer Fano’s evaluation went down a bit because his arm length was 32 inches and 1/8. He was shorter than NE’s LT Will Campbell (LSU, who NE selected 4th overall in the 1st round last year), who did not perform well in this year’s Super Bowl, at 32 inches and 5/8, so there were big concerns about his pass protection, but he has proven his high athletic ability in other areas and is included in this article’s own All-Combine Team.)
(Mauigoa was not timed at the combine. At the combine, Fano was rated second in OT, and Arizona State’s Max Iheanachor was first. He is 6-6, 321, reputed to be a big guy with good hip movement and quick body flips. He may still be in the second round at No. 34.)
(Ohio State’s LB Sonny Styles had the highest overall rating at the combine. He skyrocketed in mocks, leading to predictions that he would be selected ahead of fellow university’s S Caleb Downs. I don’t think Arizona will pick an ILB at No. 3 overall, but it’s unlikely after trading down.)
