2012 NFL Draft: Power Ranking the Top 100 Offensive Prospects

As the college football season begins to die down, NFL draft talk is picking up. Fans of teams like the Miami Dolphins and Indianapolis Colts are especially excited about the possibility of turning around a franchise in just one draft.

Stanford's Andrew Luck continues to dazzle everyone (except Phil Simms), but many of the other offensive prospects are still unknown. In a year with many NFL teams craving offensive playmakers, this is an interesting topic to many fans.

Just how good is Matt Barkley? Is Landry Jones a top-10 draft pick?

Here is a look at all of this and more.

100. Markus Zusevics, OT, Iowa

A 6'5", 300-pound right tackle, Zusevics is a good athlete with the frame to gain weight. Zusevics is reasonably well-refined but needs to add strength to deal with more powerful linemen.

99. Cody Johnson, FB, Texas

Though Johnson hasn't contributed much as a runner in 2011, the Texas back has the athletic ability to play in a variety of offenses. Johnson is a running fullback who can run, catch and block, so he should be able to find an NFL roster spot.

98. Case Keenum, QB, Houston

Keenum has gained national attention because of his eye-popping numbers, but he is far from a good prospect. The 6'1", 210-pounder doesn't have great size or arm strength and plays in a Houston offense known for skewing production.

97. Antoine McClain, OG, Clemson

McClain is a massive, run-blocking guard with elite strength and power. However, the 6'5", 330-pounder isn't overly nimble on his feet and is extremely limited by his lack of athleticism.

96. Davin Meggett, RB, Maryland

Meggett is a smaller back with good burst, quickness and receiving ability. On the other hand, the 5'8", 215-pounder isn't particularly good at running inside and sometimes tries too hard to create a play when nothing is there.

95. Dominique Davis, QB, East Carolina

At 6'3", 215 pounds, Davis is a phenomenal athlete with above-average ability at the quarterback position. Unfortunately, Davis often makes poor decisions and has 11 interceptions in 2011 alone.

94. Rishard Matthews, WR, Nevada

Matthews is a big receiver with good catching ability. The Nevada wide receiver plays physically but lacks the burst and athletic ability to be an upper-level prospect.

93. Mitchell Schwartz, OT, California

Though Schwartz currently plays tackle, he could end up at guard in the NFL. The 6'5", 320-pounder has good power, but he may lack the quickness and footwork necessary to play on the outside.

92. Evan Rodriguez, TE, Temple

The 6'3", 250-pound Rodriguez is a versatile player best described as an H-back. The Temple player can catch out of the backfield as well as block and could be utilized in a variety of manners.

91. Chris Rainey, RB, Florida

At just 5'9", 175 pounds, Rainey is definitely not an every-down running back in the NFL. However, Rainey has great speed and could have a Darren Sproles-like role at the next level.

90. James Brown, OT, Troy

Brown currently plays tackle for Troy, but he could be a swingman in the NFL. The 6'4", 312-pounder is an ideal backup for he is versatile enough to play on the outside or inside.

89. Bobby Rainey, RB, Western Kentucky

Rainey is an undersized running back with the speed and quickness to make up for it. At just 5'7", 205 pounds, Rainey won't have a huge role in the NFL, but he should be able to find a niche with a team.

88. Kevin Koger, TE, Michigan

Though Koger weighs a meager 255 pounds, he is not a great athlete. However, the Michigan tight end has good hands and is a reliable safety net for Denard Robinson.

87. Jaymes Brooks, OG, Virginia Tech

Brooks is an excellent run-blocker with good awareness but struggles in pass protection. The 6'2", 309-pounder doesn't have the quick feet to dominate in the second level or handle quicker defensive tackles.

86. Chris Owusu, WR, Stanford

At 6'0", 195 pounds, Owusu isn't overly big and lacks the elite speed to compensate for it. The Stanford wideout is surprisingly quick and does a great job of gaining additional yards after the catch.

85. Matt McCants, OT, UAB

The 6'5", 290-pound McCants is not very big and needs to gain weight in order to become stronger at the point of attack. McCants is a smart player who can recognize complex blitzes, but he doesn't have the physical ability of a good prospect.

84. Quinton Saulsberry, C, Mississippi State

Saulsberry is a good athlete for a center and does a nice job pulling and pass-blocking. However, the Mississippi State center is just 300 pounds and struggles some in the run game.

83. Tony Bergstrom, OT, Utah

Though Bergstrom has great size, he isn't overly quick and may move inside to guard at the next level. The Utah lineman does a good job in the run game but struggles with speed-rushers when in pass protection.

82. Brian Linthicum, TE, Michigan State

Linthicum has great catching ability but lacks the size and speed to be a dynamic weapon in the passing game. At just 240 pounds, Linthicum struggles as a blocker and is best utilized out of the slot.

81. Ryan Lindley, QB, San Diego State

At 6'4", 230 pounds, Lindley has ideal size and arm strength. The San Diego State star can struggle with accuracy and decision-making but has been incredibly productive throughout his career.

80. Rueben Randle, WR, LSU

Randle is an explosive player with a great combination of speed and size. The 6'4", 220-pounder has the required athletic ability, but he is unrefined and needs to improve at catching the football.

79. Marvin Jones, WR, California

Jones doesn't stand out in any one particular area as a player, but the 6'3", 202-pounder does have excellent size. The California wideout has been productive in 2011 and has put together a solid career with the team.

78. Brandon Bolden, RB, Mississippi

Bolden has a good combination of size, speed, vision and power but isn't great at anything. The 5'11", 225-pounder's best attribute is his ideal size and versatility. Though Bolden doesn't stand out at all, he is solid enough at everything to get a chance.

77. Chad Diehl, FB, Clemson

The 6'2", 260-pound Diehl has an unusual combination of size and athletic ability for a fullback. Though Diehl rarely touches the football, he is a good enough athlete to not be a one-dimensional back. However, Diehl is best known for blowing up defenders as a run-blocker.

76. Tom Compton, OT, South Dakota

The 6'6", 312-pound Compton has excellent size and good athletic ability for a tackle. Compton is unrefined, however, and needs a lot of work before before playing in the NFL.

75. Marquis Maze, WR, Alabama

At 5'8", 185 pounds, Maze is incredibly small and relies on his speed and shiftiness. The Alabama receiver does a great job of making plays with the ball in his hands and is at his best when working underneath.

74. Vick Ballard, RB, Mississippi State

Ballard has good physical tools but doesn't seem to have the competitive drive to rack up yards on the ground. Though the 5'10", 218-pounder isn't a physical freak by any means, Ballard has good burst and hits the hole with little hesitation.

73. Dan Herron, RB, Ohio State

Herron runs like a man with a much bigger stature than he possesses but isn't able to bulldoze defenders because of his physical limitations. The Ohio State back isn't overly fast or explosive either, but he has good vision and is a steady player with the rock in his hands.

72. Ryan Miller, OG, Colorado

Miller is a good athlete with great length and size for the guard position. The 6'8", 310-pounder could stand to add some bulk, but few players have better frames than Miller.

71. Bernard Pierce, RB, Temple

At 6'0", 218 pounds, Pierce has great size but lacks the athletic ability to really excel. The Temple running back is a powerful runner who fights for extra yards. However, Pierce simply isn't explosive enough to make a high number of impact plays.

70. Brandon Mosley, OT, Alabama

Though Mosley has great size, he is not a particularly good pass-blocker and can be beaten off the edge. The 6'5", 310-pounder does a nice job at the point of attack and could end up at guard.

69. Ladarius Green, TE, Louisiana-Lafayette

Green doesn't have the size of a typical tight end but is a dynamic player nonetheless. The 6'4", 235-pounder does a great job of working out of the slot and is actually more of a wide receiver than a tight end. Because of his size, Green isn't much of a blocker and doesn't play his best along the offensive line.

68. David Molk, C, Michigan

Though Molk is severely undersized, he is an incredibly smart player who does a great job of making line calls and leading the offensive line. However, at just 6'2", 290 pounds, Molk struggles with bigger defensive tackles and faces an uphill battle.

67. Ray Graham, RB, Pittsburgh

The 5'9", 200-pound Graham certainly isn't big and doesn't have elite athletic ability either. Graham does, however, hit the hole hard and has enough agility to make defenders miss on a regular basis.

66. Russell Wilson, QB, Wisconsin

Wilson is the ideal quarterback in too small of a body. The Wisconsin star has all the desired tools, but at just 5'11", 200 pounds, he is simply too small to have much of a chance as a starting quarterback in the NFL.

65. Brian Quick, WR, Appalachian State

The 6'4", 210-pound Quick obviously has great size but also possesses the speed to serve as an excellent deep threat. Quick is not, however, overly quick and isn't much of a threat to bust loose once the ball is safely in his hands.

64. A.J. Jenkins, WR, Illinois

Jenkins has had some of the NCAA's biggest receiving games through the 2011 season but can be shut down as well. Though the Illinois star doesn't possess great size, Jenkins is fast enough to make an impact as a deep threat.

63. Tauren Poole, RB, Tennessee

The 5'10", 210-pound Poole may not be incredibly explosive or powerful, but he does have great vision and receiving ability. Though Poole rarely busts off long runs, he is consistent and is at least decent in every aspect of the game.

62. David Paulson, TE, Oregon

Not surprisingly, the 6'3", 243-pound Paulson is a receiving tight end with little experience as a blocker. Paulson does have good separation and playmaking ability, though.

61. Lance Lewis, WR, East Carolina

The 6'1", 209-pound Lewis is an occasionally dominant player with good size and athletic ability. However, Lewis seems to be incredibly inconsistent and can be completely shut down in any given game.

60. Nick Foles, QB, Arizona

At 6'5", 240 pounds, Foles has ideal size and a strong arm to go with it. The Arizona quarterback is either loved or hated by most draft analysts due to the offense he plays in. Though the Wildcats' scheme may affect Foles' production, his potential cannot be denied.

59. Cordy Glenn, OG, Georgia

Though Glenn currently plays left tackle for Georgia, the 6'5", 350-pounder will move inside to guard after this season. Glenn is an incredibly powerful run-blocker but lacks the quickness to play in many offensive schemes. Because of this lack of athleticism, Glenn struggles at the second level and in pass protection.

58. Jeff Demps, RB, Florida

Though Demps is incredibly small at 5'7", 190 pounds, the Florida running back is too fast and explosive to be ignored. Demps isn't an especially good running back, but he can find a role in the NFL as a receiver and change-of-pace back.

57. Jarius Wright, WR, Arkansas

In recent years, many undersized but explosive wide receivers have entered the draft. This 5'10", 180-pounder is yet another and has the speed and quickness to dominate from the slot. Wright doesn't have ideal size by any means, but many other wide receivers have managed to overcome this deficiency.

56. Cierre Wood, RB, Notre Dame

The 6'0", 215-pound Wood possesses perfect size and good athletic ability to boot. Wood has been productive when given the chance and could become a solid piece in a high-level offense.

55. Ben Jones, C, Georgia

The 6'3", 311-pound Jones is good at everything. Jones is incredibly intelligent and possesses great technique in both the pass and run game. Unlike many centers, Jones is athletic enough to play guard and does a good job in space.

54. Kevin Zeitler, OG, Wisconsin

Though the 6'4", 315-pound Zeitler is one of the most physically talented interior linemen in the draft, he is not a great player. Zeitler is a good run-blocker who excels at the point of attack and in space, but he needs to improve as a pass-blocker.

53. Orson Charles, TE, Georgia

Charles is a tight end who is frequently used out of the backfield. The 6'3", 242-pounder has good speed and is a legitimate downfield target. Charles may not offer much as a blocker, but his speed and receiving ability make him a potential weapon.

52. DeVier Posey, WR, Ohio State

Though Posey is going to miss nearly all of the 2011 season, he is still a talented enough player to warrant attention. The 6'1", 200-pounder isn't an explosive player, but he catches the ball and manages to get open. Though Posey will never be a star, he can develop into a dependable target.

51. Greg Childs, WR, Arkansas

The 6'3", 210-pound Childs is far from a physical freak but is incredible at catching the football. Though Childs isn't overly fast or explosive, he manages to get open. If the pass gets to Childs, it is almost a guarantee that he will come down with the ball.

50. Lucas Nix, OG, Pittsburgh

Nix has great size and is a good enough athlete to block in the open field. However, the 6'5", 305-pounder isn't overly strong at the point of attack and can be bullied by stronger defensive tackles.

49. Doug Martin, RB, Boise State

At 5'9", 215 pounds, Martin has good power and occasionally runs over defensive backs with ease. The Boise State running back doesn't have great speed but is fast enough to make plays.

48. Jake Stoneburner, TE, Ohio State

The 6'5", 240-pound Stoneburner really is a wide receiver in a tight end's body. The Ohio State receiver has played both wideout and tight end with varying degrees of success. Stoneburner has great speed and catching ability but hasn't been utilized very much in the Buckeye offense.

47. Marvin McNutt, WR, Iowa

The Hawkeye wideout has the speed to make plays downfield and the size to dominate on third downs and in the red zone. McNutt has put up quality numbers and has high upside along with the current production.

46. Michael Egnew, TE, Missouri

Egnew was incredibly productive in 2010 but hasn't been overly effective thus far in 2011. The 6'6", 245-pound tight end has great height but isn't very thick for his position.

45. T.Y. Hilton, WR, FIU

Hilton is a small receiver who projects primarily as a slot player in the NFL. The FIU receiver has good speed and quickness and is at his best when running with the ball.

44. Andrew Datko, OT, Florida State

Datko is a tackle that excels in the run game but needs to show improvement as a pass-protector. The Florida State lineman shows good power in the run game and does a great job of moving on from one defender to the next.

43. Isaiah Pead, RB, Cincinnati

Pead is an excellent receiver out of the backfield with the ability to make the soundest of tacklers miss in the open field. The 200-pounder gets up to full speed quickly and is extremely difficult to catch from behind.

42. Jermaine Kearse, WR, Washington

Though he lacks ideal height, Kearse has good bulk and decent speed. The 6'1", 210-pounder possesses excellent hands and is reasonably quick when running with the ball.

41. Levy Adcock, OT, Oklahoma State

At this point, Adcock is more of an athlete than a player. The 6'6", 320-pound tackle has great feet and the ability to keep up with the best of speed-rushers. Long arms also aid this task, and defenders are rarely able to get close enough to make an impact.

40. LaMichael James, RB, Oregon

James is one of the best players in college football but lacks the size to star in the NFL. The Oregon star will be used as a change-of-pace player at the next level. Because of James' ability to turn any play into a touchdown, he will bring value to a team.

39. Michael Brewster, C, Ohio State

Brewster is an athletic center who doesn't get as much push in the run game as is ideal. The 6'5", 295-pounder is extremely intelligent but doesn't have the physical tools to dominate. Though Brewster is a good player, he just isn't good enough to be an early draft pick.

38. David Wilson, RB, Virginia Tech

Wilson is a fast running back without great size. The 205-pounder accelerates through the hole and is able to reach full speed relatively quickly. Unlike many backs with his size, Wilson is capable of running inside and is not completely one-dimensional.

37. Brandon Weeden, QB, Oklahoma State

A former baseball player, Weeden is very talented but is already 28 years old. The 6'4", 220-pounder has a strong arm and enough athletic ability to avoid the pass rush from the pocket. If Weeden were a few years younger, he would likely be considerably higher on this list.

36. D.J. Fluker, OT, Alabama

Because of his massive size, Fluker is likely to play right tackle or guard in the NFL. The 6'6", 335-pound tackle doesn't have the quickness required to maintain the blind side and can be beaten by speed-rushers.

35. Juron Criner, WR, Arizona

Criner is a big, strong and athletic receiver who will likely develop into a safe, steady target. The Arizona wideout weighs in at 6'4", 220 pounds and possesses enough speed to gain separation from defensive backs.

34. Tyler Eifert, TE, Notre Dame

Eifert is a tall, receiving tight end who can be used in a variety of manners. The 6'5", 250-pounder has great hands and enough speed to stretch the field down the seam. This is not to say that Eifert is a burner, but he does have enough athletic ability to excel as a receiver.

33. Nate Potter, OT, Boise State

The 6'6", 300-pound Potter is an excellent athlete with the ability to play left tackle in the NFL. However, Potter is incredibly inconsistent and can look like a stud or bum depending on the game.

32. Cyrus Gray, RB, Texas A&M

Gray doesn't have the bulk, power or inside vision to be an every-down back, but he can be a change-of-pace runner. The Texas A&M running back is quick with huge playmaking ability. Gray is also a good receiver with quite a bit of versatility.

31. Zebrie Sanders, OT, Florida State

Despite weighing just 295 pounds, Sanders isn't overly quick and will likely play right tackle or guard in the NFL. The Florida State tackle is, however, a good athlete and is a good run-blocker with excellent intelligence.

30. Ryan Broyles, WR, Oklahoma

The Oklahoma star has great hands and is shifty with the ball. His size could prove to be an issue at the next level, or it could be ignored, with Broyles dominating in a manner similar to Wes Welker of the New England Patriots.

29. Matt Reynolds, OT, BYU

The 6'4", 310-pound Reynolds isn't especially bad at anything; he just isn't particularly good either. He isn't overly nimble and may have to move inside or play right tackle.

28. Tanner Hawkinson, OT, Kansas

Hawkinson is a nimble pass-blocker with the athletic ability to block downfield and in space. The 6'5", 295-pounder isn't overly strong and struggles some at the point of attack. In order to improve as a run-blocker, Hawkinson will need to add some bulk.

27. Jeff Fuller, WR, Texas A&M

The 6'4", 220-pound Fuller is a big possession receiver. The Texas A&M star isn't explosive enough to be a primary receiver in the NFL, but he should find his niche with a team.

26. Ricky Wagner, OT, Wisconsin

Wagner is an excellent athlete who is at his best in pass protection. While Wagner is susceptible to explosive edge-rushers, he does a good job of keeping most defenders at bay.

25. Dwight Jones, WR, North Carolina

Jones isn't overly fast, but at 6'4", 225 pounds, he is a good athlete with the size to compensate for a lack of speed. The North Carolina wideout has good catching ability and projects as a talented possession wide receiver at the next level.

24. Kelechi Osemele, OL, Iowa State

The 6'5", 340-pound Osemele plays tackle for Iowa State but could end up at right tackle or guard in the NFL. The massive lineman is extremely powerful in the run game and also possesses surprising quickness in the open field.

23. Coby Fleener, TE, Stanford

The 6'6", 245-pound Fleener is yet another one of many tall, lanky tight ends to enter the draft in recent years. Fleener's speed, burst, size and catching ability make him an excellent receiver. However, Fleener struggles to gain leverage as a blocker and isn't a typical tight end.

22. Chris Polk, RB, Washington

At 5'11", 220 pounds, Polk has the size of a power runner, and it shows on the field. The Washington running back runs hard but isn't overly explosive or fast. Though Polk's vision is a bit of a concern, he has enough athletic ability to compensate for this.

21. Kendall Wright, WR, Baylor

A 5'10", 190-pound wide receiver, Wright has completely dominated this year. The Baylor star has had just one game with fewer than 100 receiving yards and has yet to go a week without crossing into the end zone.

20. Dwayne Allen, TE, Clemson

The Clemson tight end is an excellent receiver with good athletic ability. Allen may not be good enough at a position like tight end to be drafted in the first round, but he should be selected on day two.

19. Robert Griffin III, QB, Baylor

The 6'2", 210-pound Griffin is a superb athlete with good accuracy. The Baylor star is still developing as a passer but is immensely talented and could end up as a top-10 draft pick.

18. Brandon Washington, OG, Miami (FL)

Washington is not at all a sure thing to enter the draft, but he deserves a mention. Though not many people are talking about Washington, he could end up being an excellent guard prospect. At 6'4", 320 pounds, Washington isn't ideal at his current position on the outside, but his skill set is perfect for guard.

17. Mike Adams, OT, Ohio State

Adams has always been one of the most talented linemen in football, but until recently he couldn't turn his talent into on-field production. The 6'8", 320-pounder has incredible size and athletic ability, and now that he's starting to improve, the sky is the limit.

16. Mohamed Sanu, WR, Rutgers

At 6'2", 215 pounds, Sanu has great size but isn't a physical specimen. Though the Rutgers wide receiver is somewhat inconsistent and very raw, he is a legitimate first-round draft pick and could develop into a No. 1 target.

15. Peter Konz, C, Wisconsin

Konz is an excellent athlete who dominates when blocking in the open field. Konz is unusually gifted at pulling for a center, and though it is unlikely, he could play guard in the NFL.

14. Nick Toon, WR, Wisconsin

Toon hasn't been incredibly productive, but his physical skills make him an intriguing prospect. The 6'3", 220-pounder has good speed and is a physical threat in the red zone as well.

13. Riley Reiff, OT, Iowa

Reiff is an athletic player with high upside. At 6'6" and 300 pounds, Reiff could stand to add some bulk but isn't terribly undersized.

The former tight end is still raw but has the ability to dominate in pass protection. Reiff does need to get stronger in order to improve in the run game, however.

12. Michael Floyd, WR, Notre Dame

At one point thought of as a top-10 pick, Floyd has recently started to rebound. The 6'3", 225-pounder has unbelievable hands and body control, while also possessing decent speed and burst. Floyd may not be an elite prospect, but he should be a good player at the very least.

11. Lamar Miller, RB, Miami (FL)

The 5'11", 212-pound Miller has great speed and explosiveness to go with great receiving ability. Miller has the potential to take the NFL by storm. If he is used like LeSean McCoy of the Philadelphia Eagles, Miller could become known as a premier back.

10. Ryan Tannehill, QB, Texas A&M

A converted wide receiver, Tannehill has phenomenal physical skills and a virtually unlimited ceiling in the NFL. The Texas A&M star had a rocket arm, great speed, above-average accuracy and is rapidly learning the finer aspects of playing quarterback at a high level.

9. Justin Blackmon, WR, Oklahoma State

Because of his size and physicality, Blackmon has often been compared to Anquan Boldin. The Oklahoma State wideout has great hands and fights for extra yards after the catch. Though Blackmon doesn't have elite deep speed, he is explosive enough to gain separation from defensive backs.

8. David DeCastro, OG, Stanford

The 6'5", 315-pound DeCastro could possibly be the best guard prospect since Steve Hutchinson. The Stanford guard has an astounding combination of size, strength and speed. With virtually no schematic limitations, DeCastro is almost the perfect guard prospect.

7. Alshon Jeffery, WR, South Carolina

At one point, Jeffery was touted as the best wide receiver in years. Since then, however, Jeffery has gained weight and lacks the explosiveness to gain huge separation from defensive backs. At 6'3", 235 pounds, the South Carolina wideout has phenomenal size, but there are questions about his work ethic.

6. Landry Jones, QB, Oklahoma

The 6'4", 235-pound Jones is arguably the most talented passer in the draft. Jones has a rocket arm, and though he plays from a spread offense, he has been extremely productive. The successor to Sam Bradford does, however, throw some erratic passes.

5. Jonathan Martin, OT, Stanford

Martin is an athletic player who uses his nimble feet to excel in pass-blocking. Andrew Luck's left tackle isn't great at the point of attack but makes up for any lack of run-blocking strength with his pass-blocking ability.

4. Trent Richardson, RB, Alabama

Mark Ingram's successor, Richardson is a physical freak who is nearly impossible to tackle. The 5'11", 225-pounder has an impossible combination of size, speed and strength. In all honesty, the Alabama star is probably the best running back prospect since Adrian Peterson in 2007.

3. Matt Kalil, OT, USC

At 6'7", 295 pounds, Kalil has a long frame with superb arm strength and pass-blocking ability. Though Kalil could stand to gain weight, the USC left tackle is incredibly quick and nearly impossible to beat off the edge. Kalil may not be a Joe Thomas or Jake Long, but he is certainly at the next level.

2. Matt Barkley, QB, USC

Though Barkley doesn't possess elite physical tools, the 6'2", 225-pounder is incredibly accurate and intelligent. Some are concerned about Barkley's lack of a rocket arm and potentially limited upside, but the other aspects of his game make up for any lack of talent.

1. Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford

For more than a year, Luck has been touted as the best quarterback prospect in years and is only living up to the hype. The Cardinal star has great size, athletic ability and accuracy and possesses more than enough arm strength as well.
