POSITION PREVIEW

OFFENSE QUARTERBACKS Position outlook:

The 2013 draft was the last in which a quarterback was not selected in the top 10 picks. There is a distinct chance that could happen

with this group.

RUNNING BACKS Position outlook:

Could be another year without a first-round running back, though a couple could

squeak in late.

WIDE RECEIVERS Position outlook:

Could easily have a half-dozen receivers go in the first round. With lots of good options, teams near the top of the draft could wait to see what slips to the second round.

TIGHT END

Position outlook: Maybe one first-rounder, but a handful of Day 2 players.

OFFENSIVE TACKLES Position outlook: Could be four top-15 picks within this group.

INTERIOR LINEMEN Position outlook:

Teams steer clear of guards and centers in the first round unless they are really special players. There are three making a case in this class.

DEFENSE EDGE RUSHERS

Position outlook: This is the pass-rushers draft with as many as four top-10 selections and eight going in the first round.

INTERIOR DEFENSIVE LINEMEN Position outlook: Only one likely first-rounder.

LINEBACKERS Position outlook: A couple of first-rounders seems likely, but there is a drop-off after that. CORNERBACKS Position outlook: Two, maybe three top-15 picks and good depth into the Day 2.

SAFETIES Position outlook:

Safeties don’t get a ton of love in the NFL draft, but this group could produce three first-rounders.

SPECIALISTS Position outlook:

The last punter to be selected in the first two rounds was Todd Sauerbrun in 1995. There is a chance that changes this year.
