NFL Draft 2013: Tracking the Best Available Players

Which 2013 NFL draft prospects are still on the board, ready to be selected?

Plenty of talent is still available, and this article has you covered.

These rankings are based on the final positional big board of Bleacher Report's NFL draft lead writer Matt Miller and will be updated throughout the duration of the draft.

Quarterbacks

Geno Smith leads what is generally viewed as a weak quarterback class compared to years past, but where the dominoes fall beyond the former West Virginia star largely remains a mystery.

Running Backs

The running back position is fairly deep in this year's class, but without much truly elite talent and with a continued devaluation of the position as a draft priority, don't expect a lot of talent to come off the board early.

Fullbacks

Kyle Juszczyk is an intriguing H-back from the Ivy League, and he actually led his team in receptions in 2012. Florida State's Lonnie Pryor averaged eight yards per carry with eight touchdowns as a senior.
