Now that the deadline for NFL teams to franchise players has passed, it's time to unveil our ranking of the top 150 free agents in the Class of 2017, compiled by ESPN's experts and featuring analysis from NFL Nation reporters.
The list is not based on how players did on the field in 2016; it rates the market for each player, attempting to determine their values on the open market. Youth and the value of the position they play goes into the evaluations for each player. Older players who could sign minimum-salary deals are mostly excluded.
A few more notes before the top 150:
This list includes unrestricted free agents only.
