The 2023 NFL draft class has started strong through the first five weeks of the regular season. Los Angeles Rams receiver Puka Nacua, a fifth-round pick, flourished on the field when Cooper Kupp was injured to start the season, and Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud has looked poised under center. Plus, the 5-0 Philadelphia Eagles' defense is surely benefiting from defensive tackle Jalen Carter's great play to start out his career.
How do the rookies stack up? We polled five NFL analysts -- Matt Bowen, Jeff Legwold, Matt Miller, Brooke Pryor and Jordan Reid -- to make a consensus ranking of the top 10 rookies and let each weigh in on those players, along with three who just missed the final list.
