2011 NFL Draft Prospects: The Top 10 Players at Each Position
We're officially in the all star game phase of the NFL Draft evaluation process with the East-West Shrine Game set for today and the all important Senior Bowl next weekend.
The all star games should help us get a good feel for a lot of the senior prospects, but we won't get a chance to see any of the 56 underclassmen who declared until the annual NFL combine in February.
We have a little over three months left until the actual draft weekend, so a lot is sure to change between now and then.
