Quarterbacks:

Rank	Name	POS	HT	WT	SCHOOL	Notes:
1	Blaine Gabbert	QB	6'5"	240	Missouri	Gabbert was banged up most of the season but NFL scouts and GM's love his size and athletic ability. He did not throw at the combine but did impress in other drills. He remains the #1 QB.
2	Cam Newton	QB	6'6"	248	Auburn	Newton only completed 11 of 21 passes at the combine and did not interview well but still is a rare talent and probable top 10 pick.
3	Jake Locker	QB	6'3"	229	Washington	Locker was #1 coming into the season but now has slipped. Still has a shot at a late-first round selection especially after the combine which he displayed his impressive physical tools.
4	Ryan Mallett	QB	6'7"	238	Arkansas	Mallett's stock seems to be slipping with his poor interviews at the combine. Still has one of the strongest arms but his footwork leaves a lot to be desired.
5	Andy Dalton	QB	6'2"	217	TCU	Dalton's stock is rising after the combine as teams are enamored with his intelligence, experience and underrated athletic ability.
6	Christian Ponder	QB	6'2"	221	Florida St	Ponder overcame some injuries to have a solid season and has nice mobility.
7	Ricky Stanzi	QB	6'4"	230	Iowa	Stanzi's 25-4 ratio this year was a huge improvement over LY's 17-15 ratio. However he struggled with his accuracy and footwork at the combine.
8	Colin Kaepernick	QB	6'4"	220	Nevada	Kaepernick has the size and has proven he can be dangerous as a runner but there will be concerns about his unusual throwing release.
9	Tyrod Taylor	QB	6'1"	216	Virginia Tech	Taylor was one of the big winners at the combine testing in the top 5 in every category highlighted by his 4.51 40. He is rising on many boards and will be a mid-round pick now.
10	Greg McElroy	QB	6'2"	221	Alabama	McElroy makes the top 10 for the first time and is rising on many draft boards. Has great intelligence and is a winner.

Runningbacks:

Rank	Name	POS	HT	WT	SCHOOL	Notes:
1	Mark Ingram	RB	5'10"	215	Alabama	Ingram's stock has fallen this year but in a down year for RB's, he is still the best of the bunch. Will be a first round pick.
2	Ryan Williams	RB	5'10"	210	Virginia Tech	Williams had a disappointing start to the season but rebounded late and still has a great speed/power combo.
3	Mikel LeShoure	RB	6'0"	227	Illinois	No one was more dominant down the stretch than LeShoure who made the wise decision in coming out and has a chance to go early 2nd round.
4	DeMarco Murray	RB	6'1"	217	Oklahoma	Murray is the best receiving back in the country and can be used in a multitude of ways.
5	Jordan Todman	RB	5'9"	196	Connecticut	Todman ran a 4.4 40 at the combine and tested in the top 5 in many other categories. In a weak RB class, his stock is rising.
5	Daniel Thomas	RB	6'2"	228	Kansas St	Thomas has great size and has proven to be able to handle the heavy work load.
6	Kendall Hunter	RB	5'8"	202	Oklahoma St	After an injury-shortened junior year, Hunter has re-solidified himself as one of the best backs in America.
8	Shane Vereen	RB	5'10"	203	California	Vereen filled in nicely for Best in '09 and led the Bears w/867 yds in 2010. He tested well at the combine and has solidified himself as a mid-round pick.
9	Delone Carter	RB	5'9"	220	Syracuse	Carter capped off a tremendous senior season earning MVP honors at the East/West Shrine game. Has improved his draft stock considerably.
10	Jacquizz Rodgers	RB	5'7"	190	Oregon St	Rodgers made a somewhat surprising move by declaring early and will not play with his brother James who was granted another year.

Fullbacks:

Rank	Name	POS	HT	WT	SCHOOL	Notes:
1	Charles Clay	FB	6'3"	232	Tulsa	Versatilie player with good speed and is a threat in the receiving game. May get a look at TE at the next level and had a great combine
2	Anthony Sherman	FB	5'11"	242	Connecticut	Tough hard-nosed runner with reat hands and is rising on a lot of draft boards.
3	Owen Marecic	FB	6'0"	243	Stanford	Unbelievable versatility (played offense/defense) and has the toughness to be a good player in the league.
4	Henry Hynoski	FB	6'2"	260	Pittsburgh	Great blocker but not much of a threat as a runner, Declared early because he would not be a good fit in HC Graham's offense.
5	Shaun Chapas	FB	6'2"	234	Georgia	Good blocker but did not get a lot of carries in college.

Wide Receivers

Rank	Name	POS	HT	WT	SCHOOL	Notes:
1	A.J. Green	WR	6'4"	208	Georgia	In a deep WR class, Green is clearly the best despite missing 4 games earlier TY and has everything you want in a NFL WR.
2	Julio Jones	WR	6'4"	211	Alabama	After a disappointing sophomore season, Jones had his best year yet and moves to #2. Despite a broken foot he ran a 4.39 40 at the combine and solidified himself as a Top 15 pick.
3	Torrey Smith	WR	6'0"	202	Maryland	Smith is rising on many boards and is versatile in the return game. Was dominant in the reg ssn finale vs NC State.
4	Leonard Hankerson	WR	6'3"	213	Miami (FL)	Hankerson broke Michael Irvin's TD Rec mark TY and it could have been even better if not for the shaky QB situation.
5	Randall Cobb	WR	5'11"	186	Kentucky	Cobb is another player that can have an instant impact in the return game and his stock is rising.
6	Titus Young	WR	5'11"	172	Boise St	Young had a great career in Boise's wide-open offense. He does lack ideal size but makes up for it with his instincts.
7	Tandon Doss	WR	6'3"	202	Indiana	Doss is one of the more dangerous all-purpose threats and has great size. Is rising on many draft boards.
8	Jonathan Baldwin	WR	6'5"	224	Pittsburgh	Baldwin's numbers dropped becuase of poor QB play early. Did not impress at the combine and his stock his falling.
8	Greg Little	WR	6'3"	210	North Carolina	Little's suspension naturally dropped his stock but scouts still love his physicality.
10	Jerrel Jernigan	WR	5'9"	183	Troy	Jernigan was Troy's do-everything guy and he has been rising on many boards. Has the opportunity to make an impact right away in return game.

Tight Ends:

Rank	Name	POS	HT	WT	SCHOOL	Notes:
1	Kyle Rudolph	TE	6'5"	253	Notre Dame	Rudolph missed the 2H of the season with a torn hamstring but is still the top TE in this year's class.
2	Lance Kendricks	TE	6'2"	238	Wisconsin	Kendricks has great versatility in the run blocking/pass catching game and has been productive throughout his career.
3	D.J Williams	TE	6'2"	239	Arkansas	Williams won the Mackey Award as the nation's best TE but like LY's winner Hernandez, needs to improve his run blocking a bit.
4	Luke Stocker	TE	6'5"	247	Tennessee	Stocker clearly benefitted from better QB play down the stretch and now should be considered a mid-round prospect.
5	Robert Housler	TE	6'5"	236	Florida Atlantic	Despite playing at a smaller school Housler deserves to be among the Top 5 and ran a 4.55 40 at the combine, the best of any TE.
6	Weslye Saunders	TE	6'5"	268	South Carolina	Saunders was one of the top 2 TE's coming into the year but questions surround his maturity after the suspension.
7	Virgil Green	TE	6'3"	239	Nevada	Green showed his impressive speed and quickness at the combine and his rising on many boards.
8	Jordan Cameron	TE	6'5"	236	USC	Cameron came out of nowhere and dominated at the combine in every drill. There is talk of him being a possible mid-round selection now.
9	Zack Pianalto	TE	6'4"	239	North Carolina	Pianalto was having an outstanding season before the injury but lacks the speed to be a top 5 TE.
10	Daniel Hardy	TE	6'4"	247	Idaho	Athletic with good size and had a productive career. Will need to improve his strength especially with blocking.

Offensive Tackles:

Rank	Name	POS	HT	WT	SCHOOL	Notes:
1	Tyron Smith	OT	6'5"	291	USC	Smith has been rising on draft boards for weeks now and has a shot to be the first OT taken in the draft. Clearly a 1st-round pick.
2	Nate Solder	OT	6'8"	300	Colorado	Solder for the first time drops out of the top spot but still has as much upside as any OT in the draft.
3	Anthony Castonzo	OT	6'7"	295	Boston College	Castonzo does a great job with the zone blocking scheme and has good agility.
4	Gabe Carimi	OT	6'7"	318	Wisconsin	Carimi is a mauler in the run game but still needs to improve his pass blocking.
5	Derek Sherrod	OT	6'5"	303	Mississippi St	Sherrod has been rising all year long and has great strength, footwork and hand extension.
6	Benjamin Ijalana	OT	6'4"	317	Villanova	I rated Ijalana high in my preseason magazine and he did not disappoint with an All-American season.
7	Marcus Gilbert	OT	6'6"	330	Florida	Gilbert has great size to go along with decent athletic ability especially with his feet movement. Rising on many boards.
8	Chris Hairston	OT	6'6"	321	Clemson	The 3-yr starter and all-conf tackle has the size but must improve his technique if he plans to be a starter at the next level.
9	Lee Ziemba	OT	6'5"	320	Auburn	Ziemba clearly has the experience playing high-level competition but still is not that athletic.
10	Jah Reid	OT	6'7"	320	UCF	Reid is physically imposing but showed good athletic ability at the combine.

Offensive Guards:

Rank	Name	POS	HT	WT	SCHOOL	Notes:
1	Danny Watkins	OG	6'4"	310	Baylor	Watkins has soared to the top of many draft boards and is looking at a 2nd-round selection now.
2	Clint Boling	OG	6'4"	304	Georgia	LY did a great filling in at LT but guard is his more natural position.
3	Will Rackley	OG	6'3"	304	Lehigh	Rackley like Watkins has soared up draft boards and is now looking at a possible mid-round selection.
4	Orlando Franklin	OG	6'5"	318	Miami, Fl	Franklin struggled at OT but will move to his more natural position of LG at the next level and is rising on many boards.
5	Marcus Cannon	OG	6'5"	361	TCU	This year's OG class is not as strong as past years but scouts do love Cannon's size and experience.
6	John Moffitt	OG	6'4"	319	Wisconsin	Moffitt has played both G/C and is a force in the ground game but will need to improve his pass blocking technique.
7	James Carpenter	OG	6'5"	288	Alabama	Is not athletic enough to play OT in the NFL but really gets a push in the run game.
8	Andrew Jackson	OG	6'5"	288	Fresno St	A two-time All-WAC selection who has been the key to the successful Bulldog run attack the past few seasons.
9	Zach Hurd	OG	6'7"	322	Connecticut	Hurd has been a consistent player on UConn's line the past couple of years and has great size for the position.
10	Steve Schilling	OG	6'4"	300	Michigan	Schilling was a standout on a improved UM line this year but how will he adjust to the different schemes at the next level?

Centers:

Rank	Name	POS	HT	WT	SCHOOL	Notes:
1	Mike Pouncey	OC	6'5"	309	Florida	Pouncey struggled early with the transition to C but improved late in the year and scouts love his durability/versatility. A guaranteed 1st-rounder.
2	Rodney Hudson	OC	6'3"	277	Florida St	Hudson played OG most of his career but his projected to be a Center at the next level because of his size.
3	Stefen Wisniewski	OC	6'3"	293	Penn St	Like Hudson/Pouncey, Wisniewski played a lot at Guard but will move back to Center at the next level.
4	Brandon Fusco	OC	6'4"	305	Slippery Rock	Fusco is one of the biggest risers after the combine and despite coming from a small school, he has a lot of upside
5	Alex Linnenkohl	OC	6'1"	305	Oregon St	Linnenkohl is just a solid all-around player and was very consistent in college playing with great leverage.
6	Kris O'Dowd	OC	6'4"	298	USC	A previous knee injury may cause O'Dowd's stock to drop despite playing in all 13 games this year.
7	Ryan Bartholomew	OC	6'1"	294	Syracuse	Bartholomew had a tremendous combine finishing #2 in the 40 and #1 with 34 reps in the bench and his stock is rising.
8	Kevin Kowalski	OC	6'3"	295	Toledo	Kowalski anchored a UT OL and will likely be a late-round pick.
9	Zane Taylor	OC	6'1"	298	Utah	A First-team All-MWC selection, Taylor was very impressive at the combine with his strength and should be a late round pick.
10	Jake Kirkpatrick	OC	6'2"	305	TCU	Kirkpatrick won the Rimington award as the nation's top Center but seems to be slipping on draft boards.

Defensive Ends:

Rank	Name	POS	HT	WT	SCHOOL	Notes:
1	Da'Quan Bowers	DE	6'4"	280	Clemson	Bowers led the nation in sacks and has all of the physical skills in the world at 6-4 280 to be the top DE drafted. He did suffer a grade 2 MCL sprain that will require minor surgery.
2	Robert Quinn	DE	6'5"	254	North Carolina	Quinn has elite talent and despite being suspended by the NCAA TY, Quinn still is among the top DE’s with his speed off the edge.
3	J.J. Watt	DE	6'5"	279	Wisconsin	Watt was a huge winner at the combine displaying surprisingly good speed and quickness and naturally has great strength. Could be a top 20 pick now.
4	Cameron Jordan	DE	6'4"	280	California	Jordan is a name that has been rising on many draft boards as he is very strong at the point of attack and has a lot of upside. Maybe best suited playing DE in a 3-4.
5	Aldon Smith	DE	6'5"	290	Missouri	Smith along with Watt have been two of the biggest risers and right now Smith is looking at a 1st round pick.
6	Ryan Kerrigan	DE	6'4"	259	Missouri	Despite consistent double teams all year, Kerrigan was among the tops in the NCAA in sacks and TFL’s TY and plays with great energy despite lacking some elite physical skills.
7	Adrian Clayborn	DE	6'3"	285	Iowa	Clayborn was highly regarded before the season but his numbers were down from a year ago. Nonentheless he plays with a great motor but does lack elite quickness.
8	Cameron Heyward	DE	6'5"	278	Ohio State	Heyward has the great pedigree and has great athleticism as shown with his IR vs Miami earlier TY but still his numbers were a bit disappointing this season.
9	Brooks Reed	DE	6'3"	262	Arizona	Reed is a natural pass rusher that is strong at the point of attack. Rising on many boards and will be a late 1st or early 2nd round pick.
10	Jabaal Sheard	DE	6'3"	252	Pittsburgh	Before the season the hype was on Pitt’s other DE Romeus, but Sheard filled in nicely and earned BE DPOY honors. Will need to become more physical at the next level.

Defensive Tackles:

Rank	Name	POS	HT	WT	SCHOOL	Notes:
1	Marcell Dareus	DT	6'3"	303	Alabama	Dareus had an impressive combine displaying his great speed and size and could play in either a 3-4 or 4-3 scheme now.
2	Nick Fairley	DT	6'4"	299	Auburn	No DL outside of Bowers was more impressive TY as Fairley simply dominated the LOS with his size, speed and athleticism and completely took over the National Champ game.
3	Corey Liuget	DT	6'3"	300	Illinois	Liuget had a great senior season and has been rising on many draft boards. Has a shot to go in the first round now.
4	Muhammad Wilkerson	DT	6'5"	305	Temple	Wilkerson declared early and is rising on many draft boards. He has the opportunity to be a rare early rd pick for the MAC at the DT spot.
5	Stephen Paea	DT	6'1"	304	Oregon State	Paea plays with great competiveness and consistently was doubled teamed TY. Paea set the combine record with 49 reps on the bench!
6	Phil Taylor	DT	6'3"	338	Baylor	Unbelievably strong and powerful player that is rising on many draft boards. Will be a great fit in a 3-4 type defense and could go as early as the late 1st-round.
7	Marvin Austin	DT	6'3"	303	North Carolina	Austin may have been the top DT on the board before the season but naturally the NCAA suspension put him here and there are character concerns. He still has unbelievable talent.
8	Christian Ballard	DT	6'4"	296	Iowa	Clayborn gets all the hype on the Iowa DL, but Ballard is a good prospect with great size. However, some scouts think he was a bit soft TY.
9	Jarvis Jenkins	DT	6'4"	303	Clemson	As the case with Ballard, Jenkins does not get a lot of publicity due to Bowers but he has great size and athleticism.
10	Jurrell Casey	DT	6'1"	300	USC	Nice pass rusher from the DT position but he was consistently doubled teamed and chipped TY. Better suited to play in a 4-3 defense.

Inside Linebackers:

Rank	Name	POS	HT	WT	SCHOOL	Notes:
1	Quan Sturdivant	ILB	6'1"	227	North Carolina	Sturdivant is rising on many boards. He has good range in coverage and is surprisingly stout in the run game.
2	Colin McCarthy	ILB	6'2"	240	Miami (FL)	McCarthy plays along side another solid LB in Spence but he was the more impressive prospect TY on tape and was dominant in combine drills.
3	Kelvin Sheppard	ILB	6'2"	244	LSU	Sheppard is another name that is rising on many boards. He does play on a very talented defense and is not always the focal point of another team’s gameplan which could help his production.
4	Akeem Dent	ILB	6'2"	233	Georgia	Dent is rising on draft boards after showing off his great agility at the combine.
5	Greg Jones	ILB	6'1"	237	Michigan St	The 2-time All-American had more career production than any LB in this year’s class and naturally has great instincts. The only knock is his lack of size.
6	Casey Matthews	ILB	6'1"	241	Oregon	Outstanding family pedigree and one of the key components to an underrated Oregon defense TY. Needs to improve his strength especially against physical run teams.
7	Mike Mohamed	ILB	6'3"	236	California	Following LY where he had 100+ tackles, Mohamed again produced this season and has experience playing in a 3-4.
8	Nate Irving	ILB	6'1"	231	NC State	Irving had a All-American type season for the Wolfpack but he does lack great speed and is range in pass coverage his a bit of a concern.
9	Nick Bellore	ILB	6'1"	252	Central Michigan	Unbelievable production at the college level and has great size. Showed off his quickness with the best 20-yard shuttle run among the LB's at the combine.
10	Brian Rolle	ILB	5'10"	230	Ohio St	Rolle had a career at Ohio St and has a nose for the football but is lacking the ideal size to play inside at the next level.

Outside Linebackers:

Rank	Name	POS	HT	WT	SCHOOL	Notes:
1	Von Miller	OLB	6'3"	238	Texas A&M	Miller had to deal with a nagging ankle injury this season and was double teamed a lot. Despite the injury he played with a lot of toughness has unbelievable pass rush ability. A top 5 pick possibly.
2	Akeem Ayers	OLB	6'4"	249	UCLA	Ayers can do it all. He can drop in coverage, play the run and plays with great energy. There are some concerns on his pass-rushing abilities but he still deserves to be here.
3	Justin Houston	OLB	6'3"	264	Georgia	Houston can really get after the QB and has experience in both a 4-3 and 3-4 defense. Stock is really rising after a great combine.
4	Bruce Carter	OLB	6'3"	225	North Carolina	Carter was one of the lone bright spots on a suspension-riddled Tar Heel team this year. Can really play sideline to sideline and should be a second round pick as a 4-3 backer.
5	Martez Wilson	OLB	6'3"	250	Illinois	I think Wilson made the right decision in coming out early and he can cover a lot of ground from sideline to sideline evidence of his incredible 4.49 40 at the combine. Stock is rising.
6	Dontay Moch	OLB	6'1"	236	Nevada	Moch has elite speed and athleticism and had great career production. The question is his physicality as the powerful teams ran right at him and he is a liability in the run game.
7	Chris Carter	OLB	6'1"	247	Fresno State	Carter played with his hand down at the DE position in college but can transition to an OLB in a 3-4 defense at the next level. Ran well at the combine and is rising on boards.
8	Ross Homan	OLB	6'0"	232	Ohio State	Displays great toughness, is very physical and plays with great instincts. Naturally speed and range is a concern but Homan should easily be a mid-round pick.
9	Mason Foster	OLB	6'1"	238	Washington	Foster plays with great physicality as his production the last few years validates him being drafted in the early mid-rounds.
10	KJ Wright	OLB	6'3"	245	Miss St	Wright did not get a lot of publicity when it came to his college career but has good size and athleticism and can play OLB in a 3-4 scheme.

Cornerbacks:

Rank	Name	POS	HT	WT	SCHOOL	Notes:
1	Patrick Peterson	CB	6'1"	211	LSU	The Thorpe winner is the best CB prospect with “safety” size to go along with great speed. Plays the run exceptionally well and he is very dangerous in the return game. Easily a top 5 pick.
2	Prince Amukamara	CB	6'0"	203	Nebraska	Amukamra had another All-American type season and is another “rare” physical corner like Peterson. Is a possible top 10 pick.
3	Jimmy Smith	CB	6'2"	203	Colorado	Smith has been on many radars all season long and has great size to go along with decent speed. There are character issues but will be drafted no later than the early 2nd round.
4	Aaron Williams	CB	6'1"	192	Texas	Williams played the “nickel” in Texas’ secondary and while some scouts love his size, some question his production this past season.
5	Brandon Harris	CB	5'11"	193	Miami (FL)	Harris plays with a lot of confidence and was rarely thrown to all year long. Can be a difference maker in run support.
6	Ras-I Dowling	CB	6'2"	201	Virginia	Dowling was hurt earlier this season but came on strong late in the season. A hamstring injury has his stock slipping though.
7	Brandon Burton	CB	6'0"	187	Utah	Burton plays with great instincts and has been a good shutdown corner in the MWC. Will be interesting to see him play against better competition and can be a liability in run support.
8	Curtis Brown	CB	6'0"	182	Texas	Brown plays very physical for his size and has good speed. Draft stock maybe rising after an impressive combine which he showed great athletic ability in drills.
9	Kendric Burney	CB	5'9"	187	North Carolina	Burney is more quick than he is fast but plays bigger than his size and played his best in big games in college.
10	Marcus Gilchrist	CB	5'10"	195	Clemson	Gilchrist is a versatile player with experience at both CB and Safety. Can be an immediate impact player in the return game or as a "nickel" man.

Safeties:

Rank	Name	POS	HT	WT	SCHOOL	Notes:
1	Rahim Moore	S	6'1"	196	UCLA	Moore led the nation in interceptions LY but his numbers were down TY. Overall great talent and should be a first round pick.
2	Jaiquawn Jarrett	S	5'11"	196	Temple	Jarrett plays with good instincts and can be a difference maker in run support. Does lack elite speed and some will question the lack of competition but he is rising big time on many boards .
3	Quinton Carter	S	6'1"	197	Oklahoma	Carter is a high-character type player that many NFL teams have gone for in the recent past and his production validates at least a 2nd round selection.
4	Robert Sands	S	6'5"	221	West Virginia	Unbelievable “freakish” size for the position and some teams may look at him as a developmental OLB in a 3-4 defense. Was a force at the combine.
5	Ahmad Black	S	5'9"	187	Florida	Black had a great career at Florida but his lack of height and speed is going to hurt his draft position in April. Dominated the other drills besides the 40.
6	Joe Lefeged	S	5'11"	210	Rutgers	I'm big fan of Lefeged as he single handily won RU the FIU game this past year. He is rising on many draft boards and is an all-everything player.
7	Tyler Sash	S	6'1"	210	Iowa	Sash declared early and his performance at the combine in the drills including the 40 has put him in the 3rd-round range.
8	Da'Norris Searcy	S	5'11"	220	North Carolina	Some may be surprised to see Searcy here and not his UNC teammate Deunta Williams. Searcy is rising on many boards and has solid cover skills and does a nice job in run support.
9	Eric Hagg	S	6'1"	208	Nebraska	Great player in run support but there are concerns about his range in pass coverage.
10	Jeron Johnson	S	5'10"	211	Boise St	I had Johnson rated high in my magazine last year and he has not disappointed. He ran a 4.53 40 at the combine and had 23 reps on the bench which was #1 in both drills for Safeties.

Kickers:

Rank	Name	POS	HT	WT	SCHOOL	Notes:
1	Alex Henery	K	6'1"	177	Nebraska	Henery is here because he clearly has the best leg strength of the bunch and can be used on KO's as well. He went 10-11 from 40+ TY!
2	Kai Forbath	K	5'11"	192	UCLA	The All-American has somewhat of a disappointing season TY after his spectacular junior season but still should be drafted in the mid-rounds
3	Dan Bailey	K	6'0"	202	Oklahoma St	Groza winner Bailey hit 8-10 from 40+ and is very strong on KO's.
4	Josh Jasper	K	5'11"	171	LSU	Jasper had a great season for the Tigers and was on several All-American lists.
5	Wes Byrum	K	6'1"	210	Auburn	Weaker leg distance wise compared to the Top guys with only one attempt from 50+ but still is reliable.

Punters:

Rank	Name	POS	HT	WT	SCHOOL	Notes:
1	Ryan Donahue	P	6'2"	189	Iowa	Ray Guy finalist Donahue finished #16 NCAA in avg (44.6) with a net of 38.2
2	Reid Forrest	P	6'0"	190	Washington St	Reid got a lot of work in college playing for a weaker team and consistently had great averages.
3	Chas Henry	P	6'3"	221	Florida	Henry led the nation in avg and net and won the Guy award as the nation's best punter. His stock is rising.
4	Matt Bosher	P	6'0"	205	Miami (FL)	1st TM ACC P Bosher also handles all K duties and boomed 17 punts of 50+ while also nailing a 51 yd FG as well.
5	Derek Epperson	P	6'2"	236	Baylor	Epperson was #19 NCAAA in avg with a respectable 37.8 net and has great size for the position.
