What's great about the ACC is depth. Deshaun Watson looks like the Heisman Trophy favorite, and Brad Kaaya will likely join him as a first-round draft pick, but even the lower tiers contain much to get excited about.

Justin Thomas and Lamar Jackson are two of the five best running quarterbacks in the country. Deondre Francois, if he beats out Sean Maguire, has the pedigree and supporting cast to post Jameis Winston-like numbers. Jerod Evans is the highest-rated JUCO quarterback since Zach Mettenberger in 2011.

And those are just the guys with giant upside. There's also steady starters such as Matt Johns and Nate Peterman, along with semi-proven commodities like Patrick Towles and Mitch Trubisky.

The bottom weighs down the top, but there is still a lot to feel good about.
