After watching more games and cut-ups than I care to count, here are my current positional rankings for the offensive players in the 2014 NFL Draft.

These are still somewhat fluid as I haven’t gone in-depth on several players, but there won’t be wild fluctuations between now and draft time.

Note that these represent my personal ratings. This is not a prediction of draft order by position.

Quarterbacks

1. Teddy Bridgewater, Louisville--He has the most complete toolbox, as well as the best mastery of more of those tools than any other prospect. It’s really not close in my opinion; he’s #1 with a bullet.

2. Johnny Manziel, Texas A&M--I love the way he improved his game in 2013, showing better field vision and ball placement. His style won’t fit every team, but he has a chance to be special. Huge risk/reward prospect.

3. Derek Carr, Fresno State--The arm strength and downfield ball placement are both best-in-class. Faces a big transition from a dink-and-dunk offense and needs to display more consistently sound mechanics.

4. Blake Bortles, UCF--At times he looks like a legit top prospect, but not often enough. His toughness and ability to throw pretty ordinary receivers open are what stand out.

5. A.J. McCarron, Alabama--Wussing out of Senior Bowl week ruined a chance for him to prove he’s more than a system QB. Having said that, he has shown he can make all the throws with talent around him.

6. Aaron Murray, Georgia--I love his confidence, leadership, and toughness. Should have a long and successful career as a backup/spot-starter in the Jon Kitna mold.

7. Jimmy Garoppolo, Eastern Illinois--I watched him in person at both Shrine Game and Senior Bowl practices. Got better every day, but has some bad habits that are not easy fixes. Worthwhile two-year project.

8. Connor Shaw, South Carolina--Another who took a big leap in ’13, as you can see the game slowing down for him. Underrated athlete with a big arm on the move and an arrow pointing up.

9. Jeff Mathews, Cornell--Proved he has a better arm and sharper mechanics than Garoppolo during Shrine Game week, but his eyes need work and he’s not a nimble athlete in the pocket. 

10. Keith Wenning, Ball State--Has the big arm and toughness teams covet, and his accuracy can be great…at times, but he can be streaky. 

Best of the rest: Tom Savage, Pittsburgh; Brett Smith, Wyoming; Logan Thomas, Virginia Tech; Zach Mettenberger, LSU; David Fales, San Jose State;

Running Backs

1. Carlos Hyde, Ohio State--He got lighter on his feet but kept his power after maturing from a suspension. Runs with great pad level and shows good vision. Can be streaky.

2. Charles Sims, West Virginia--Transferred to WVU after a strong career at Houston and proved his skills transfer. His receiving skills are fantastic considering his tiny hands, and he rarely goes down on first contact.

3. Ka’Deem Carey, Arizona--Strong inside-out runner with a good feel for setting up and cutting off his blocks. His work in the passing game spiked up in ’13, a needed development.

4. Tre Mason, Auburn--Decisive slasher who presses the defense with instant acceleration and surprising power for a smaller back. Not as elusive as expected in open space.

5. Terrance West, Towson--Small-school dynamo had the benefit of one of the best OLs in FCS, but his size and speed translate to the NFL well. Punishing style takes its toll on defenses, but could take in on West too.

6. Bishop Sankey, Washington--Versatile, quicker-than-fast back with great vision and creativity. Very good in the passing game, and not afraid to lower the shoulder. Almost 700 touches in the last two years on that small physique is concerning.

7. James Wilder Jr., Florida State--Even though he didn’t start, his powerful and decisive style make him the best prospect from a talented backfield of runners. Compares to Alfred Morris, but has off-field issues to answer.

8. Devonta Freeman, Florida State--Compact, quick-hitting back with decent receiving skills. Started ahead of Wilder because he’s more reliable, but less dynamic.

9. James White, Wisconsin--Overshadowed by Montee Ball (before) and Melvin Gordon (after), and strangely he’s a suave blend of the two. Has great straight-line power for his smallish size, and is accomplished in the passing game.

10. Antonio Andrews, Western Kentucky--Physical back in the mold of Mike Tolbert, excellent at making cuts off blocks and snowplowing defenders. Not going to run away from many linebackers, however.

Best of the rest: DeAnthony Thomas, Oregon; Lache Seastrunk, Baylor; Tim Flanders, Sam Houston State; Zach Bauman, Northern Arizona; Kapri Bibbs, Colorado State

Tight Ends

1. Jace Amaro, Texas Tech--Has the athletic profile of a Tony Gonzalez clone as a receiver, minus a little quickness off the line. Fiercely competitive and physical, though not a great blocker.

2. Eric Ebron, North Carolina--Broke out in ’13 with better body control and focus, and he has the highest ceiling of any tight end in this class. Weight flux is a question.

 3. Troy Niklas, Notre Dame--Surprise early entrant has massive catch radius and soft hands, decent blocker, but has a plodding gait that limits his top-end potential.

4.     Crockett Gillmore, Colorado State--Very big and strong, Gillmore impressed with his line release and ability to catch in traffic during Shrine Game and Senior Bowl weeks

5.     Austin Seferian-Jenkins, Washington--ASJ has been a dynamite red zone threat and uses his size well, but his play did not meet the hype in ’13. Upside is high.

6.     C.J. Fiedorowicz, Iowa--Has all the attributes of a solid #2 NFL tight end; can block both in-line and in space, catches well, but not a dynamic athlete.

7. Colt Lyerla, Oregon--He would be the #1 tight end if not for some major off-field issues, including a cocaine bust and quitting on his team. As close to an on-field talent as Aaron Hernandez as you’ll ever find, but probably undraftable.

8. Jordan Najvar, Baylor--Sparingly used as a receiver in Baylor’s spread attack, Najvar showed surprising spryness and route running ability during Shrine Week. Crushing in-line blocker whose best football is ahead of him.

9. Xavier Grimble, USC--Another under-utilized talent with more to offer than his college profile would suggest. Has ideal size and great hands in traffic. Injury flags and only an average athlete.

10. Arthur Lynch, Georgia--Inconsistent in-line prospect with some game tape that suggests a much higher rating, but some truly dreadful and untimely drops and only average blocking 

Best of the rest: AC Leonard, Tennessee State; Rob Blanchflower, UMass; Richard Rodgers, California; Alex Bayer, Bowling Green; Gator Hoskins, Marshall

Wide Receivers

1. Sammy Watkins, Clemson--Watkins is a dynamic playmaker with excellent burst and borderline elite athleticism. Rare WR prospect with high ceiling and high floor.

2.     Marqise Lee, USC--Lost some luster with a bum knee last fall, but nobody gets open quicker or accelerates away from traffic better. Bit of a body catcher.

3.     Brandin Cooks, Oregon State--Small-framed but plays tough, and has outstanding feet and body control as a route runner. Bonus for playing with erratic QBs.

4. Mike Evans, Texas A&M--Massive over-the-middle target with great strength and leaping ability, but speed and ability to separate are questionable.

5.     Allen Robinson, Penn State--Big-play receiver who played his best at crunch time. Fluid athlete with good size and physicality but lacks elite traits.

6.     Josh Huff, Oregon--Jack of all trades receiver who plays with great energy and football smarts, will make an excellent complementary wideout to a star #1 WR.

7.     Odell Beckham Jr. LSU--The master of catching the ball in traffic, and he plays bigger than his only-average size. Routes and blocking effort both need some work.

8.     Kelvin Benjamin, Florida State--Has outstanding size and strength, and he’s capable of greatness. But his hands, routes, and consistency are all very iffy at this point.

9.     Robert Herron, Wyoming--Great quickness and burst off the line and in/out of cuts, and he’s used to catching high-velocity throws at close range. Lacks size and strength.

10.  Martavis Bryant, Clemson--Slender downfield blazer is great with the ball in the air, but has limited experience other than just going deep. 

Best of the rest: Jarvis Landry, LSU; Davante Adams, Clemson; Brandon Coleman, Rutgers; TJ Jones, Notre Dame; Ryan Grant, Tulane; Jared Abbrederis, Wisconsin; Jordan Matthews, Vanderbilt; Matt Hazel, Coastal Carolina; Donte Moncrief, Ole Miss; Jalen Saunders, Oklahoma; Paul Richardson, Colorado 

Centers

1..     Weston Richburg, Colorado State--Technically sound grinder with a high football IQ, Richburg stood out with his base strength and impressive punch.

2.     Travis Swanson, Arkansas--Not quite as agile as Richburg but a little stronger and heavier-handed; consider him 1a instead of 2.

3.     Tyler Larsen, Utah State--Not an impressive physical specimen, but has great anchor strength and tenacity that gets the job done.

4.     Bryan Stork, Florida State--Moves quite well and handled tough competition adeptly, but needs to add strength and grit. Top-heavy and it does impact his balance.

5.     James Stone, Tennessee--At times he looks like a world-beater, and then the next week you wonder how he starts in college. Looked good at guard in Shrine Game practices.

6.     Matt Armstrong, Grand Valley State--D-II’s top lineman dominated for the Lakers, might need to add a little beef from 295 to make the jump. Might be a better RT.

7.     Zac Kerin, Toledo--Throwback with a style Al Davis would love, wins with vinegar and brute strength but also good leverage. Lacks great quickness and consistency.

8.     Marcus Martin, USC--Physically imposing and technically sound, but has scant experience. Could wind up being best center in this class, but won’t be right away.

9.     Jonotthan Harrison, Florida--Marginally draftable prospect has good movement skills and power on the move, could make quality interior reserve.

10.  Gabe Ikard, Oklahoma--To quote my friend and colleague Josh Liskiewitz, “undersized, waist-bending catch blocker”, though he moves very well and has good smarts. 

Guards

1.     Xavier Su’a-Filo, UCLA--Might be a better right tackle, but could be an elite guard with his power, feet, and balance. Arrow pointing way up.

2.     Gabe Jackson, Mississippi State--Not a major force, but almost never gets beaten on a play. On the hefty side at almost 340 pounds.

3.     David Yankey, Stanford--Mauling run blocker has some tackle experience but plays best in tight quarters. Must keep his pad level down more consistently.

4.     Jon Halapio, Florida--Impressive power both up top and in his legs, and he uses it quite well. Can be a lunger and lacks ideal quickness.

5.     Brandon Thomas, Clemson--Has some impressive tape and looked good during Senior Bowl week, doesn’t always play to his potential. Has tackle/guard tweener traits.

6.     Chris Watt, Notre Dame--Technically sound with functional power and excellent tenacity. Won’t be a star but could play a long time in the NFL.

7.     Anthony Steen, Alabama--Lost some sizzle with a torn labrum, which could exacerbate his strength issues. Best served in a heads-up blocking scheme.

8.     Dakota Dozier, Furman--Small-school prospect acquitted himself physically during Shrine Week, but his hands and weight transfer need some work.

9.     Cyril Richardson, Baylor--Looks the part but plays with a narrow base and poor balance. Has major upside with technical refinement.

10.  Austin Wentworth, Fresno State--Pass-protection specialist has quick feet in any direction. Has makeup of a versatile sixth lineman.

Tackles

1.     Jake Matthews, Texas A&M--Matthews has the best feet of any tackle prospect I’ve ever graded in 10 years. He’s been a brick wall on both the left and right sides, and he grades significantly higher than any of the three tackles that went in the top four a year ago.

2.     Greg Robinson, Auburn--Devastating power behind a strong punch, but has some waist-bending and head-down blocking issues that need to get cleaned up. All-Pro potential.

3.     Zack Martin, Notre Dame--Many project him to move inside, but Martin has the movement skills and mentality to play tackle very well at the next level. His wide base and shorter arms are is his biggest issues.

4.     Morgan Moses, Virginia--Has great length and understands how to use it on the edge in pass protection. Struggles some against shorter and quicker targets outside.

5.     Seantrel Henderson, Miami FL--He’ll be as good as he wants to be. When he wants to play well, Henderson is very close to both Robinson and Matthews and has a higher athletic ceiling than either. But when he isn’t feeling it, uh oh. Coaching fit will be huge for the big man.

6.     Taylor Lewan, Michigan--Plays with great power and nastiness, but not as technically proficient or consistent as many believe he is. Has some underrated character concerns.

7.     Jack Mewhort, Ohio State--Long-limbed pass protector with a nimble shuffle, must work on keeping his base lower. Can play guard too.

8.     Wesley Johnson, Vanderbilt--Well-coached and with great length, the biggest thing holding Johnson back is strength. Compares favorably to Will Beatty of the Giants.

9. Cyrus Kouandjio, Alabama--Once a prized recruit, Kouandjio is still the same player now he was 3 years ago. He’s a catch blocker with poor lateral footwork, albeit one with a big punch and big-game experience.

10. Jawuan James, Tennessee--Overshadowed by his linemate Tiny Richardson, but James has better feet and more consistent pad level. Good middle-round sleeper in deep, deep class.

Best of the rest: Joel Bitonto, Nevada; Billy Turner, South Dakota State; Antonio Richardson, Tennessee; Danny Kistler, Montana; Justin Britt, Missouri; Jeremiah Sirles, Nebraska

The impact of the Combine will not impact the ratings nearly as much as more film review of more prospects. Feel free to ask questions or engage in respectful debate on Twitter @JeffRisdon
