1. Joey Bosa, DE, Ohio State (Grade: 94)
What he brings: He's the best edge defender in this class. Bosa displays heavy and active hands and possesses excellent core strength, along with the instincts to find the ball and finish plays as a run-stopper. While he doesn't have elite quickness or bend, he is a relentless pass-rusher who brings strong speed-to-power ability and the versatility to kick inside and cause disruption. He brings a great motor and approach to game and will instantly upgrade a defensive front.
Watch Bosa's highlights
2. Laremy Tunsil, OT, Mississippi (94)
What he brings: Born to protect the quarterback, Tunsil is blessed with an outstanding combination of natural athleticism and length. He also has natural flexibility in his lower half to sink and anchor against power moves, displaying quality awareness in pass protection. Durability is a bit of concern, as Tunsil missed time because of injury in his first two seasons at Ole Miss. While he isn't a road-grading run-blocker, he has enough inline power and agility to cover up defenders and sustain blocks. One of the elite prospects in this class, Tunsil has the makings of a franchise left tackle for the next decade.
Watch Tunsil's highlights
3. Jalen Ramsey, CB, Florida State (93)
What he brings: An explosive athlete with the rare versatility to line up in multiple spots in the secondary, Ramsey has exceptionally long arms and the most natural movement skills of any defensive back in this class. He also plays with a physical edge in run support. Minor concerns include inconsistent ball skills and the fact that he does not always finish when provided the opportunity. Still, whether he lines up at cornerback or safety, he's the top defensive back in this class and will serve as an instant upgrade in the secondary.
Risen Star: Nothing.
Watch Ramsey's highlights
4. Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Ohio State (93)
What he brings: Elliott is a highly competitive runner with an excellent combination of agility, power and top-end speed for a bigger back. He also shows natural pass-catching ability, and he brings elite toughness to the field as a blocker. Elliott is the best running back in the class, and while he's not as dynamic of a runner as Adrian Peterson or Todd Gurley, his well-rounded skill set makes him the rare RB prospect who's actually worth a first-round pick.
Watch Elliott's highlights
5. Ronnie Stanley, OT, Notre Dame (93)
What he brings: A left tackle prospect with three years of starting experience and quality awareness, Stanley excels in pass protection with natural feet, good agility and the length to keep edge rushers at bay. At this point, he's more of a positional run-blocker who will need to continue to get stronger and play with more aggression in this area. The second-best offensive tackle in this class, Stanley should be ready to step into a starting role from day one.
Watch Stanley's highlights
6. DeForest Buckner, DE, Oregon (92)
What he brings: Buckner is top-five prospect with outstanding measurables, raw power and above-average athleticism. He's a long-levered run defender who has the ability to create penetration and hold the point of attack. He needs some refining as a pass-rusher and has to learn to play with lower pad level, but Buckner has the quickness, heavy hands and speed-to-power capability to add value getting after the QB. The bottom line? He is a durable and productive defender, whose versatility will allow him to play multiple spots along the D-line.
Watch Buckner's highlights
7. Jack Conklin, OT, Michigan State (92)
What he brings: Conklin is a former walk-on who plays with a chip on his shoulder. A powerful run-blocker, he has good inline power and is constantly working to finish blocks. He is not an elite athlete, but he has ideal length and enough athleticism to keep blockers at bay when his technique is sound. Conklin played left tackle in college, but he projects as a right tackle in the NFL. He has the physicality and toughness that is coveted at the position.
Watch Conklin's highlights
8. Myles Jack, OLB, UCLA (92)
What he brings: Arguably one of the most athletic prospects in this class, Jack is a perfect fit for today's NFL. He has sideline-to-sideline range and flashes explosive power. In addition, he is the top coverage linebacker in the class. Jack comes with some durability concerns after a season-ending torn meniscus this past fall, but his medical reports are positive. He is a top-10 prospect in this class who will add playmaking ability to a front seven.
Watch Jack's highlights
9. Leonard Floyd, OLB, Georgia (91)
What he brings: Floyd is arguably the most versatile edge defender in this class who has an outstanding combination of length and athleticism. He displays natural instincts as a pass-rusher with quality first-step quickness and flexibility to gain the edge while also flashing an effective inside changeup move. Though his sack production dipped in 2015, he played as more of an off linebacker where he showcased his range as a space player in coverage. He will bring immediate help on third downs and should quickly push for a starting job.
Watch Floyd's highlights
10. Carson Wentz, QB, North Dakota State (91)
What he brings: One of the top two quarterbacks in this class, Wentz is blessed with a strong combination of size and athleticism. He has very good arm strength to make all the necessary throws. He displays quality accuracy at all three levels. There are some concerns about his lack of experience and making the jump from the FCS level. However, Wentz has the tools, football intelligence, maturity and leadership skills to develop into a quality starting QB in the NFL.
Risen Star: Football salvation.
Watch Wentz's highlights
11. Jared Goff, QB, Cal (91)
What he brings: Goff is an experienced three-year starter who is one of the most natural passers in this class. He has excellent pocket presence and feels pressure naturally to buy time while going through progressions. Goff shows quality accuracy and touch with the ability to deliver from an uneven platform. He has added weight and that eases concerns about his durability. He might need time adjusting to an NFL playbook coming from a wide-open system. He is one of the top two quarterbacks in this class and has the tools and acumen to develop into an above-average starter.
Watch Goff's highlights
12. Sheldon Rankins, DT, Louisville (91)
What he brings: One of the more disruptive interior defenders in this class, Rankins is an undersized defensive tackle with very good quickness and lower-body explosiveness. He played multiple spots along Louisville's front and can potentially do the same in the NFL, although his best fit is as a 4-3 nose tackle. Rankins is a better run defender than pass-rusher at this point, but he's capable of developing into an every-down player.
Watch Rankins' highlights
13. Darron Lee, OLB, Ohio State (91)
What he brings: One of the better space linebackers in this class, Lee is a rangy run defender who shows fast eyes and quality recognition skills. His best value as a prospect comes on third down, where he has the athleticism to match up in zone or man coverage and he is an underrated blitzer. While he is undersized and will never be a strong point-of-attack defender, Lee is an ideal fit for today's game and should quickly develop into an impactful weakside linebacker.
Watch Lee's highlights
14. Laquon Treadwell, WR, Mississippi (91)
What he brings: Treadwell is a highly competitive and physical receiver who thrives in contested situations. He isn't a burner, but he is a quality route runner who has the size, strength and length to create late separation. Treadwell is a strong and balanced runner after the catch and takes a lot of pride as a run-blocker. Though he might never be an elite No. 1 receiver, he's arguably the top at this position who will instantly upgrade a receiving corps.
Watch Treadwell's highlights
15. Josh Doctson, WR, TCU (91)
What he brings: The best receiver in this class tracking and playing the ball in the air, Doctson has the size, leaping skills and focus to present a one-on-one matchup problem down the field outside the hashes. He needs to add some polish and comes with some minor durability concerns, but he has enough speed and agility to develop and should quickly become a quarterback's best friend in the red zone.
Watch Doctson's highlights
16. Taylor Decker, OT, Ohio State (90)
What he brings: Decker is an experienced three-year starter who has played at both tackle positions. He doesn't have elite athleticism, and combined with his lack of length he projects as a right tackle at the next level. Decker doesn't have a lot of flash in his game, but he's one of the steadier offensive linemen on tape. He's a technician with the right makeup to become a very solid starter for a decade in the NFL.
Watch Decker's highlights
17. Shaq Lawson, DE, Clemson (90)
What he brings: Lawson has a great-looking frame, a strong football-character makeup and plays with infectious energy. He is an excellent run defender with heavy hands and quality upper-body power. While he has some athletic limitations, he possesses a strong combination of quickness, power and relentlessness as a pass-rusher. He will provide an immediate physical edge to a front seven and should quickly develop into an impact edge defender.
Watch Lawson's highlights
18. Reggie Ragland, ILB, Alabama (90)
What he brings: The top run-stopping linebacker in this class, Ragland brings size, excellent point-of-attack skills and a strong understanding of geometry with pursuit angles to provide him with sideline-to-sideline range. He also brings a physical element to his game and is an impactful knock-back tackler. While he has some athletic limitations, he has better third-down value than people think, including an underrated pass-rushing presence. He also brings outstanding football character and is one of the more NFL-ready prospects who could step in as a starter immediately.
Watch Ragland's highlights
19. Jarran Reed, DT, Alabama (90)
What he brings: Reed is the best run-stopping defensive tackle in this class. He plays with excellent leverage and has the anchor, along with the upper-body power, to eat up space as a two-gapper at the next level. He shows heavy and active hands discarding blocks when tied up in a phone booth. He doesn't have great production as a pass-rusher, but he wasn't asked to rush the passer within his defensive scheme at Alabama. Reed has shown the ability to push the pocket from the interior. He will instantly upgrade the interior of the defensive line.
Watch Reed's highlights
20. Corey Coleman, WR, Baylor (90)
What he brings: Coleman needs to make strides as a route runner, and his 2015 drop percentage (6.6 percent) is reason for concern, but he has the potential to get better in those areas. He does have something you can't coach up, and that's speed. He's fast enough to run past corners who don't give him a healthy cushion, and he has the burst to pull away from pursuit when he gets a crease after the catch.
