With a bunch of good matchups on tap this weekend, I just wanted to put out an updated list of the top 10 NFL prospects across each position.
While the early portion of every NFL draft is going to be dominated by juniors and redshirt sophomores almost by rule, I like to split the prospects below between seniors and underclassmen. The reason is simple: The seniors are certain to be a part of the draft process, while the underclassmen have a choice to return to school. So this provides more balance at a time when we're well away from juniors needing to make a decision.
