College football is almost upon us, which means the 2016 NFL draft will be here before you know it. Those of us at Scouts Inc. -- myself, Kevin Weidl and Steve Muench -- spent the summer scouring tape and ranking the top players at each position from a draft perspective.

Click on the positions below to see the full rankings.

Offense

Quarterback

Cal's Jared Goff and Ohio State's Cardale Jones lead the pack.

Running back

Ohio State's Ezekiel Elliott is zooming up draft boards after his performance in last year's College Football Playoff.

Wide receiver

Even as he recovers from a gruesome leg injury, Ole Miss' Laquon Treadwell projects to be a first-rounder.

Tight end

Alabama's O.J. Howard and Oregon's Pharaoh Brown are two names to keep an eye on.

Offensive line

Ole Miss' Laremy Tunsil is one of the premier O-line -- and overall -- prospects in the class of 2016.

Defensive line

Ohio State's Joey Bosa enters the 2016 season as our No. 1 overall prospect.
