Rank, Name, Pos, Class, School, Ht., Wt., 40, Proj. Rd., Comment
1. *Leonard Williams, DT, Jr, Southern California, 6-5, 302, 4.91, 1, Too athletic for guards and too strong for tackles, Williams is a position- and scheme-versatile mismatch.
2. *Jameis Winston, QB, rSo, Florida State, 6-4, 231, 4.91, 1, Prototypical size, arm strength, accuracy & anticipation make Winston most talented QB since Andrew Luck.

8. Brandon Scherff, OT, rSr, Iowa, 6-5, 319, 5.00, 1, Whether at OT or OG, Scherff’s strong hands, light feet and aggression will make him a Day 1 starter.

13. Alvin Dupree, DE, rSr, Kentucky, 6-4, 269, 4.56, 1, Left as SEC’s reigning sacks leader, winning with agility, acceleration & passion (but could add strength).
