Rivals.com Top 50 1. Michael Oher, OT, Ole Miss Oher has a rare blend of size, athleticism and girth. He entered the 2008 NFL draft, then pulled out a few days later even though he was considered a first-round pick. New coach Houston Nutt is glad he stayed. This time around, Oher – now a senior – could be the first player taken in the draft. He is No. 1 on the Rivals.com list of the top 100 pro prospects and could be the second consecutive offensive tackle chosen No. 1 overall; the Miami Dolphins took Michigan's Jake Long with the No. 1 pick earlier this year. 2. Andre Smith *, OT, Alabama A massive tackle with great feet, in the mold of former first-round pick Shawn Andrews. 3. Matthew Stafford *, QB, Georgia The most natural pocket passer in the nation. He has a skill set similar to Carson Palmer's. 4. DeMarcus Granger *, DT, Oklahoma An explosive three-technique tackle who makes a living in the opponent's backfield. 5. Michael Johnson, DE, Georgia Tech Displays a rare first step for his size. He can be an absolute terror off the edge with his combination of length and body control. 6. Eugene Monroe, OT, Virginia A nimble tackle who re-directs well. He needs to add bulk and power to his lower half. 7. Michael Crabtree *, WR, Texas Tech The total package – size, speed, burst and hands – and is the best receiver prospect since Calvin Johnson. 8. Jeremy Maclin *, WR, Missouri Excellent size and speed, with the ability to break tackles. He is dangerous with the ball in his hands. 9. Vontae Davis *, CB, Illinois A rare athlete with fluid hips and burst out of his breaks. He's instinctive in man coverage. 10. Rey Maualuga, LB, USC He's a more physically dominant version of Seahawks MLB Lofa Tatupu, another former USC standout. 11. Brian Orakpo, DE, Texas Showcases an explosive first step off the edge, with the ability to dip and turn the corner consistently. 12. Knowshon Moreno *, RB, Georgia He is the most "natural" running back in the nation, with a combination of vision, quickness and balance. He has a good burst and a second gear. 13. Chris Wells *, RB, Ohio State A powerful back with a thick frame and quick feet. He can make a defender miss and churn out yards after contact. 14. James Laurinaitis, LB, Ohio State A fluid, athletic linebacker with a nose for the ball in both the pass and run game. 15. William Moore, FS, Missouri A physically well-built safety with the athleticism and body control to do it all. 16. Jonathan Luigs, C, Arkansas The best center prospect we have seen in the past five years. 17. Malcolm Jenkins, CB, Ohio State An instinctive corner with good range and ball skills in zone coverage, but he lacks a second gear. 18. Ricky Jean-Francois *, DT, LSU Was the quickest and most disruptive LSU defensive lineman in the national championship game last season and, yes, that includes Glenn Dorsey. 19. LeSean McCoy *, RB, Pittsburgh He has struggled running though tackles this year. He's not quite as instinctive as Knowshon Moreno but has excellent body control for his size and possesses a nice combination of quickness and strength. 20. Jermaine Cunningham *, DE, Florida A compact, powerful end with speed, power and change-of-direction skill on the edge. 21. Xavier Fulton, OT, Illinois May have the best feet of any offensive lineman in the country. He needs to continue to add strength and girth to his overall frame. 22. Herman Johnson, G, LSU He's an amazing physical specimen at 6 feet 8 and 360 pounds who can move and re-direct in space. He's fluid and agile for a man his size. 23. Percy Harvin *, WR, Florida An explosive athlete in space who can make a play any time he has the ball. 24. Taylor Mays *, FS, USC A physically imposing safety who can run and cover or play at the line of scrimmage. 25. Duke Robinson, G, Oklahoma A massive guard with an intriguing blend of raw power and athleticism. 26. Darrius Heyward-Bey *, WR, Maryland A tall, lean receiver with great speed and the burst to get down the field. He's a big-time jump-ball threat. 27. Mark Sanchez *, QB, USC Has a big-time arm and is accurate down the field. He makes quick decisions but needs to work on his touch underneath. 28. Myron Rolle *, SS, Florida State Smart, instinctive safety with a strong build. He has the range to play the center-field role. 29. Jermaine Gresham *, TE, Oklahoma A big, physical athlete with great burst and speed down the seam. He can separate at all levels in man coverage. 30. Aaron Curry, LB, Wake Forest A gifted run-and-hit linebacker. He has sideline-to-sideline range but needs to improve his awareness. 31. Tim Tebow *, QB, Florida A dual run/pass threat who has all the intangibles. He can buy time in the pocket but needs to learn to read defenses more consistently in the passing game. 32. Geno Atkins *, DT, Georgia Another explosive SEC three-technique defensive tackle. He will get a lot more attention from opposing linemen with the season-ending injury to Bulldogs DT Jeff Owens. 33. Maurice Evans *, DE, Penn State Explosive athlete with a quick first step and powerful punch. He does a nice job beating blocks both inside and out. 34. James Davis, RB, Clemson A one-cut back who has good vision and gets north to south quickly. He also is comfortable in the passing game. 35. Derek Pegues, FS, Mississippi State He is built and runs like a corner, but is a ballhawk as a safety. 36. Rico McCoy *, LB, Tennessee Undersized but has the most impressive fluidity and range of any linebacker in the draft. He should really rise up draft boards. 37. Mike Mickens, CB, Cincinnati Long, rangy corner with good ball skills. He plays a bit high and struggles losing speed in his transition. 38. Nic Harris, SS, Oklahoma Built like a linebacker and is strong attacking the line of scrimmage. He is fluid in zone coverage and has a nose for the ball. 39. Ciron Black *, OT, LSU Displays a compact stance and moves well laterally. He can re-direct and has the quickness to reach the corner. 40. Brandon Pettigrew, TE, Oklahoma State A physically imposing tight end with good power in the blocking game. He has impressive body control, and goes up and gets the ball as well as any receiver in the country. 41. Terrance Taylor, DT, Michigan A two-gap plugger who can clog running lanes inside. He has good quickness off the snap and can push the pocket. 42. Josh Freeman *, QB, Kansas State A physically impressive quarterback with rare arm strength and feel in the pocket. He's in the JaMarcus Russell/Daunte Culpepper mold. 43. Pat White, WR, West Virginia He's one of the best playmakers in college football. He will be asked to make the transition from quarterback to wide receiver in the pros. 44. Alphonso Smith, CB, Wake Forest Has all the tools you look for in an NFL corner except size (he's 5-9). He is as fluid as any corner in college football. 45. C.J. Spiller *, RB, Clemson Lightning in a bottle. He has the quickness to make a man miss and the burst to separate, and he does a great job making cuts at full speed. 46. Max Unger, C, Oregon He's a former left tackle with good feet and lateral mobility for a center. He plays a bit high but is an ideal fit for a zone-blocking scheme. 47. Greg Hardy *, DE, Ole Miss His long limbs and speed make him difficult to block. He has the quickness to beat tackles outside or inside off the snap. 48. Brandon Spikes *, LB, Florida A powerful linebacker who showcases good instincts inside, and does a nice job stacking and shedding versus the run. 49. George Selvie *, DE, South Florida An ultra-productive end who exhibits good quickness and technique. Has a good motor and closes on the ball quickly. 50. Ziggy Hood, DT, Missouri Plays with good leverage and power inside. He makes as many plays as any defensive tackle in the nation.
