It's very, very possible that four quarterbacks (Johnny Manziel, Teddy Bridgewater, Blake Bortles and Derek Carr) could be off the board within the first five picks. Five teams in the first eight picks (the Houston Texans, Jacksonville Jaguars, Cleveland Browns, Oakland Raiders and Minnesota Vikings) could all target the position.
And the St. Louis Rams, sitting at No. 2, could once again sell of their selection to a team desperate to add a player at the position. If the quarterback the Browns want is available at No. 2, would it really be shocking if they flipped the No. 4 and No. 26 pick to the Rams to get ahead of the Jags?
Of course not. How teams ultimately judge the top four quarterbacks will shape this entire draft. And where Johnny Football is drafted will be one of the biggest storylines between now and April. Let's be honestโwe all want to see how Manziel's talent translates on the NFL level.
Love him or hate him, he sure is compelling.

That being said, some of the biggest playmakers in this draft may be on the defensive side of the ball.ย Jadeveon Clowney,ย Khalil Mackย andย Anthony Barrย are pass-rushers with top-10 talent. Alabama safetyย Ha Ha Clinton-Dixย is a top-15 talent. Ditto for Florida State defensive tackleย Timmy Jernigan.
And don't expect cornerbacks likeย Darqueze Dennardย or Justin Gilbert to make it out of the top 25.
Offensive tackles will once again come off the board rather quickly. Eitherย Jake Matthewsย orย Greg Robinsonย could go as high as No. 2 in this draft, while Taylor Lewan andย Cyrus Kouandjioย look like first-round locks.

For teams needing help at wide receiver or tight end, this is quite the promising draft class. Clemson's Sammy Watkins is the best of the wideout bunch and should be a top-10 selection, while Mike Evans and Marqise Lee are guaranteed first-rounders.ย Odell Beckham Jr., Kelvin Benjamin and Allen Robinson could also be selected in the first 32 picks.
And tight endโat least at the top of the classโis loaded. North Carolina'sย Eric Ebronย could be a top-10 pick, whileย Jace Amaroย should go in the first round. Austin Seferian-Jenkins could also sneak into Round 1.
This is a stronger draft at the top than last year's draft, and with all of the possible trade scenarios in playโit's hard to imagine teams like St. Louis or Cleveland staying put.
Now all we have to do is wait.ย
