NFLDraftScout.com has tracked the mad rush of underclassmen and delivers an early breakdown of all 53 early entries for the 2011 NFL Draft. Each player is listed by overall ranking on NFLDraftScout.com's Big Board, followed by where we rank each player among prospects at their own position and analysis:
Pos/Player/School Overall ranking/Position ranking
CB Patrick Peterson, LSU 1/1
Providing shutdown coverage and dynamic return skills could make Peterson the highest drafted cornerback ever.
DT Nick Fairley, Auburn, 2/1
Big (6-4, 299) and explosive, Fairley might be the draft's most gifted prospect, but scouts worry he's a one-year wonder.
DE Da'Quan Bowers, Clemson 3/1
Began to live up to his billing as the top prep prospect in the country in 2008, Bowers (6-4, 275) led the country with 15.5 sacks in '10.
WR A.J. Green, Georgia 4/1
A dominant player since he stepped onto the field for the Bulldogs, Green's height, hands and body control have drawn comparisons to Randy Moss.
DE Robert Quinn, North Carolina 5/2
The most explosive pass rusher in an extraordinary class of defensive linemen, Quinn will have to convince NFL teams his character is not a concern following a season-long suspension.
DT Marcell Dareus, Alabama 6/2
Perhaps the most versatile of the 2011 defensive linemen, Dareus has the bulk to hold up on the nose in the 3-4 and the burst to wreak havoc as a three-technique.
QB Blaine Gabbert, Missouri 8/1
Coming from spread offense, but has the size, arm strength, release and IQ to handle conversion to pro-style.
