Here are NationalFootballPost.com's Top 30 draft prospects.
1. WR Michael Crabtree, Texas Tech
The draft’s premier threat at receiver. He has the entire package and is destined to become one of the NFL’s top wideouts.
2. OT Eugene Monroe, Virginia
An athletically gifted tackle who possesses quick feet and the athleticism to handle the left side in the NFL.
3. LB Aaron Curry, Wake Forest
One of the draft’s elite prospects, he should come in and make an immediate impact at the next level.
4. DT B.J. Raji, Boston College
A thickly built, stout tackle with a rare first step for his size. Has the ability to play in any scheme and be very effective.
5. OT Jason Smith, Baylor
A former tight end who displays great feet and body control in pass protection. Might have the most upside of any tackle.
6. QB Mark Sanchez, USC
Has the physical tools to be successful, but it’s his intangibles and competitive demeanor that make him the top quarterback in the draft.
7. CB Malcolm Jenkins, Ohio State
Jenkins is the draft’s top corner prospect, but he also has the versatility to play some free safety.
8. OT Andre Smith, Alabama
He showcases great feet and power for his size, but questions remain about his ability to handle the speed of the left side in the NFL.
9. QB Matthew Stafford, Georgia
A physically gifted quarterback with the arm strength to make all the throws. His accuracy, however, seems to run hot and cold.
10. DE Everette Brown, Florida State
An explosive DE/OLB tweener who has the ability to reach the corner and consistently get after the quarterback.
11. DE/OLB Brian Orakpo, Texas
A versatile rush end/outside linebacker prospect who displays an impressive combination of burst and strength off the edge.
12. OT Michael Oher, Ole Miss
He needs to become more consistent, but it isn’t often that an offensive lineman with this kind of skill set comes along.
13. WR/RB Percy Harvin, Florida
An athletically gifted football player who simply plays at another speed. He’ll find a way to be an X-factor at the next level.
14. LB Brian Cushing, USC
A hard working, versatile linebacker with the ability to play inside or outside in either a 3-4 or 4-3 scheme.
15. RB Knowshon Moreno, Georgia
An instinctive runner with good wiggle and vision at the line of scrimmage. He is simply too much of a talent to fall outside the first 20 picks.
16. WR Jeremy Maclin, Missouri
An explosive vertical threat who can consistently get behind defenses and is very dangerous with the ball in his hands.
17. CB D.J. Moore, Vanderbilt
Is a bit undersized but possesses the best closing speed of any corner in the draft and knows how to get after the ball.
18. DT Peria Jerry, Ole Miss
An explosive interior lineman who consistently penetrates and makes a living in opponents’ backfields.
19. ILB Rey Maualuga, USC
An inside plugger with good power and pop on contact. Is at his best attacking downhill and making plays in the hole.
20. CB Vontae Davis, Illinois
Has the prototypical size/speed combo of an elite NFL corner, although he needs to put it all together and become a better technician at the position.
21. RB Chris Wells, Ohio State
A big, physical runner who has all the tools, but questions remain about his toughness and passion for the game.
22. DE/OLB Aaron Maybin, Penn State
An ultra-productive pass rusher who may need to make the transition to a 3-4 OLB at the next level.
23. DE Robert Ayers, Tennessee
After a phenomenal senior year, he looks to be closing in on the first round.
24. OLB Clay Matthews, USC
A tough, blue-collar worker who looks like one of the top 3-4 outside linebackers in the draft.
25. CB Alphonso Smith, Wake Forest
The draft’s most natural corner. If he were three inches taller, he’d be considered a top-10 prospect. Very difficult to gain separation from on any level.
26. TE Brandon Pettigrew, Oklahoma State
A tall, well-built prospect with the ability to work the middle of the field in the pass game and handle defensive ends in the run game.
27. RB LeSean McCoy, Pittsburgh
Is a bit high cut but displays impressive lateral ability for his size and is the home run threat that NFL teams crave.
28. OT Eben Britton, Arizona
A long, well-built tackle with smooth feet and good body control outside. Lacks any type of explosion to his game but will likely be drafted much higher than his rank due to a constant need at the tackle position.
29. WR Hakeem Nicks, North Carolina
A well-built, fluid receiver who gets in and out of his breaks as cleanly as any wideout in the draft.
30. ILB James Laurinaitis, Ohio State
A smart, technically sound Mike who consistently finds a way to make plays in the middle of the field.
