Quarterback
1. Andrew Luck, Stanford
2. Robert Griffin, Baylor
3. Nick Foles, Arizona
4. Ryan Lindley, San Diego State
5. Ryan Tannehill, Texas A&M
Sleeper: Kellen Moore, Boise State
Comments: There is a huge drop off after the top two, where I wouldn't be surprised if the 3rd QB isn't taken till the 4th round. Foles and Lindley are guys I really like on day 2 and 3. Foles is a lot better than he played at Arizona and could really turn out to be a quality QB. Ever since the college season has ended Kellen Moore has kinda been forgotten about. But look for some team to take him in the late rounds and have him be a dependable backup in the league.
Running Back
1. Trent Richardson, Alabamaba
2. David Wilson, Virginia Tech
3. Chris Polk, Washington
4. Lamar Miller, Miami
5. LeMichael James, Oregon
Sleeper: Bobby Rainey, Western Kentucky
Comments: As the NFL continues to evolve into a passing league, we are going to see less and less RBs go in the 1st round. Richardson is the only sure fire 1st rounder and could go as high as 4 to Cleveland but shouldn't last past the Broncos. Wilson, Miller, and James are all burners while Polk might be the most physical back in the draft. Keep an eye on Bobby Rainey who has been wonderful at Western Kentucky and should get a look in the 3rd or 4th round.
Wide Receiver
1. Justin Blackmon, Oklahoma State
2. Michael Floyd, Notre Dame
3. Alshon Jeffery, South Carolina
4. Kendall Wright, Baylor
5. Muhamad Sanu, Rutgers
Sleeper: Ryan Broyles WR Oklahoma
Comments: Blackmon is clearly a top 5 prospect, but don't be suprised if he falls a little bit, heck he won't get past Jacksonville. Jeffery was once thought to be the top WR in the draft, but questions about his speed and ability to seperate will hurt him. I really like Muhamad Sanu. He is a good route runner and willing to work over the middle. A creative OC could do wonders with him. Because Ryan Broyles tore his ACL not too many people have talked about him, but he is a very good route runner and can make plays. Some team is going to get a steal in the 2nd or 3rd round.
Tight End
1. Dwayne Allen, Clemson
2. Coby Fleener, Stanford
3. Michael Egnew, Missouri
4. Orson Charles, Georgia
5. LaDarius Green, Lousiana Lafayette
Sleeper: Rhett Ellison, USC
Comments: The last couple of years the TE spot hasn't been that great. Last year had some talent, but didn't have an elite level TE. This year should be much the same. Allen is the best of the group but isn't elite. Fleener is pretty good, but is a limited athlete. Egnew was thought to have a Jermaine Gresham type of season but was very dissapointing. Keep an eye on Ellison, especially since he has experience at FB too.
Tackle
1. Matt Kalil, USC
2. Riley Reiff, Iowa
3. Jonathan Martin, Stanford
4. Mike Adams, Ohio State
5. Nate Potter, Boise State
Sleeper: J'Marcus Hardrick, Nebraska
Comments: Matt Kalil is the best LT to come out in the draft since Jake Long. Reiff and Martin are good, but don't be surprised if they fall like Brian Bulaga did a couple of years ago. If Adams can show good footwork and the ability to play LT he could shoot up the boards.
Guard
1. David DeCastro, Stanford
2. Cordy Glenn, Georgia
3. Keleche Osemele, Iowa State
4. Zebrie Sanders, Florida State
5. Barrett Jones, Alabama
Sleeper: Matt Reynolds, BYU
Comments: DeCastro is shooting up draft boards and their are rumors he could go close to the top 1o. Glenn is a very good pass blocker where Osemele is a much better run blocker. But all but DeCastro played Tackle in college.
Center
1. Peter Konz, Wisconsin
2. Mike Brewster, Ohio State
3. William Vlachos, Alabama
4. Ben Jones, Georgia
5. David Molk, Michigan
Sleeper: Grant Garner, Oklahoma State
Comments: Peter Konz really helped his stock this year and is right in the 1st round territory. Brewster was once considered the top C but Konz has passed him up and is probably more of a 2nd round prospect.
