The new two-round mock -- side-by-side with McShay -- is live on Wednesday, so it's time to update my position rankings as we get closer to draft day. There are quite a few changes from my previous update (mid-March), and I'll have my full rankings later this month.
One asterisk denotes a junior, and two asterisks denote a redshirt sophomore for the 2016 season.
Quarterbacks
1. *Mitch Trubisky, North Carolina
2. *Deshaun Watson, Clemson
3. *Patrick Mahomes, Texas Tech
4. **DeShone Kizer, Notre Dame
5. Nathan Peterman, Pitt
6. *Brad Kaaya, Miami (Fla.)
7. Joshua Dobbs, Tennessee
8. Davis Webb, California
9. Chad Kelly, Mississippi
10. C.J. Beathard, Iowa
Mahomes jumps a spot here, and I have him at No. 13 in my latest mock. The top five are all in the first two rounds of my two-round mock.
Running backs
1. *Leonard Fournette, LSU
2. *Christian McCaffrey, Stanford
3. *Dalvin Cook, Florida State
4. *Samaje Perine, Oklahoma
5. **Joe Mixon, Oklahoma
6. *Alvin Kamara, Tennessee
7. *D'Onta Foreman, Texas
8. Kareem Hunt, Toledo
9. T.J. Logan, North Carolina
10. Joe Williams, Utah
I keep hearing good things about Perine, who is one of the toughest runners I've evaluated the past decade. Logan split carries with the Tar Heels, but he's the best kick returner in this class.
Fullbacks/H-backs
1. George Kittle, Iowa
2. Freddie Stevenson, Florida State
3. Taylor McNamara, USC
4. Sam Rogers, Virginia Tech
5. Tyler McCloskey, Houston
6. Marquez Williams, Miami (Fla.)
7. Shane Smith, San Jose State
8. Nate Iese, UCLA
9. Anthony Firkser, Harvard
10. Joe Bacci, Central Michigan
McNamara, who had 24 catches the past two seasons, could make an NFL roster as an H-back.
Wide receivers
1. *Mike Williams, Clemson
2. Corey Davis, Western Michigan
3. *John Ross, Washington
4. Zay Jones, East Carolina
5. *Curtis Samuel, Ohio State
6. *Chris Godwin, Penn State
7. Cooper Kupp, Eastern Washington
8. *JuJu Smith-Schuster, USC
9. *Carlos Henderson, Louisiana Tech
10. *ArDarius Stewart, Alabama
The top four could all go in the first round. Four went in Round 1 last year. Jones is one of the biggest risers from the postseason process.
Tight ends
1. O.J. Howard, Alabama
2. **David Njoku, Miami (Fla.)
3. Evan Engram, Mississippi
4. *Adam Shaheen, Ashland
5. Jake Butt, Michigan
6. Gerald Everett, South Alabama
7. Eric Saubert, Drake
8. Pharaoh Brown, Oregon
9. *Cole Hikutini, Louisville
10. *Bucky Hodges, Virginia Tech
Hikutini isn't super fast and didn't work out at the combine, but the 6-foot-4, 247-pound tight end could go in the second round. Shaheen is in Round 2 of my latest mock.
Offensive tackles
1. *Ryan Ramczyk, Wisconsin
2. *Cam Robinson, Alabama
3. *Garett Bolles, Utah
4. Antonio Garcia, Troy
5. Taylor Moton, Western Michigan
6. Aviante Collins, TCU
7. *Roderick Johnson, Florida State
8. *David Sharpe, Florida
9. Adam Bisnowaty, Pitt
10. Will Holden, Vanderbilt
Any of the top three could be picked first -- it's that close. Collins' 4.81 40 at the combine caused teams to take another look at his tape. Johnson has all the traits of a premier left tackle, but his tape was inconsistent.
Offensive guards
1. Forrest Lamp, Western Kentucky
2. Dion Dawkins, Temple
3. Jermaine Eluemunor, Texas A&M
4. Dan Feeney, Indiana
5. Dorian Johnson, Pitt
6. Danny Isidora, Miami (Fla.)
7. Zach Banner, USC
8. Nico Siragusa, San Diego State
9. Jordan Morgan, Kutztown State
10. Nate Theaker, Wayne State (Michigan)
Lamp is probably the only guard in the discussion for Day 1. Banner weighed in at 355 at the combine -- on a 6-foot-8 frame.
Centers
1. Pat Elflein, Ohio State
2. Ethan Pocic, LSU
3. Tyler Orlosky, West Virginia
4. Kyle Fuller, Baylor
5. J.J. Dielman, Utah
6. Jon Toth, Kentucky
7. Cameron Tom, So. Mississippi
8. Chase Roullier, Wyoming
9. Jay Guillermo, Clemson
10. Lucas Crowley, North Carolina
Elflein has moved to No. 1 here. He's a true anchor who can win battles at the point of attack.
Defensive ends
1. *Myles Garrett, Texas A&M
2. Jonathan Allen, Alabama
3. **Solomon Thomas, Stanford
4. *Charles Harris, Missouri
5. *Derek Barnett, Tennessee
6. Taco Charlton, Michigan
7. Jordan Willis, Kansas State
8. *Carl Lawson, Auburn
9. DeMarcus Walker, Florida State
10. Tarell Basham, Ohio
Charlton dropped after a 4.92 40 at the combine. Willis could sneak into the first round.
Defensive tackles
1. *Malik McDowell, Michigan State
2. *Caleb Brantley, Florida
3. Chris Wormley, Michigan
4. Carlos Watkins, Clemson
5. Jaleel Johnson, Iowa
6. Dalvin Tomlinson, Alabama
7. Montravius Adams, Auburn
8. Larry Ogunjobi, Charlotte
9. *Elijah Qualls, Washington
10. *Nazair Jones, North Carolina
Tomlinson is the best nose tackle in this draft. He's a clogger who could go on Day 2.
Inside linebackers
1. Reuben Foster, Alabama
2. Jarrad Davis, Florida
3. *Zach Cunningham, Vanderbilt
4. *Raekwon McMillan, Ohio State
5. Kendell Beckwith, LSU
6. Ben Gedeon, Michigan
7. *Anthony Walker, Northwestern
8. Blair Brown, Ohio
9. Jayon Brown, UCLA
10. Harvey Langi, BYU
I'll be on Davis as a great pro, even after he struggled with injuries last season. Character's important, and he's a great kid.
Outside linebackers
1. Haason Reddick, Temple
2. Takkarist McKinley, UCLA
3. Tyus Bowser, Houston
4. Tim Williams, Alabama
5. Derek Rivers, Youngstown State
6. *T.J. Watt, Wisconsin
7. Duke Riley, LSU
8. Ryan Anderson, Alabama
9. *Alex Anzalone, Florida
10. Vince Biegel, Wisconsin
Bowser might be the draft's best pure 3-4 pass-rusher. Rivers is one of my favorite prospects; he could have dominated at Ohio State too. He's a ferocious player who is likely a third-round pick.
Cornerbacks
1. **Marshon Lattimore, Ohio State
2. *Gareon Conley, Ohio State
3. Tre'Davious White, LSU
4. Kevin King, Washington
5. Chidobe Awuzie, Colorado
6. **Marlon Humphrey, Alabama
7. *Sidney Jones, Washington
8. Jourdan Lewis, Michigan
9. *Adoree' Jackson, USC
10. Fabian Moreau, UCLA
All 10 here could be off the board by the start of Round 3. Jones is likely looking at a redshirt year after tearing his Achilles at Washington's pro day.
Safeties
1. *Jamal Adams, LSU
2. **Malik Hooker, Ohio State
3. **Jabrill Peppers, Michigan
4. Obi Melifonwu, Connecticut
5. Marcus Maye, Florida
6. *Budda Baker, Washington
7. *Marcus Williams, Utah
8. *Josh Jones, NC State
9. Justin Evans, Texas A&M
10. John Johnson, Boston College
Melifonwu's combine workout has helped him soar up the board. Baker has top-15 talent in a 5-foot-10 frame. He could be a star in the right system.
Punters/Kickers
1. Zane Gonzalez, Arizona St. (Kicker)
2. Jake Elliott, Memphis (Kicker)
3. Austin Rehkow, Idaho (Punter/Kicker)
4. Justin Vogel, Miami (Fla.) (Punter)
5. Toby Baker, Arkansas (Punter)
6. Cameron Johnston, Ohio State (Punter)
7. Younghoe Koo, Georgia Southern (Kicker)
8. Hayden Hunt, Colorado State (Punter)
9. Harrison Butker, Georgia Tech (Kicker)
10. Eric Keena, North Texas (Punter)
Gonzalez is comfortably at No. 1 here. He led the country in field goals made from 40-plus and 50-plus yards last season.
Long snappers
1. Colin Holba, Louisville
2. Bradley Northnagel, California
3. Cole Mazza, Alabama
4. Josh Appel, Indiana State
5. Scott Daly, Notre Dame
Holba has a chance of getting drafted late.
Punt returners
1. **Jabrill Peppers, S, Michigan
2. *Adoree' Jackson, CB, USC
3. *Isaiah McKenzie, WR, Georgia
4. *Alvin Kamara, RB, Tennessee
5. Desmond King, CB/S, Iowa
6. Tre'Davious White, CB, LSU
7. Tim White, WR, Arizona State
8. Brisly Estime, WR, Syracuse
9. JoJo Natson, WR, Akron
10. Ryan Switzer, WR, North Carolina
Peppers might be one of the NFL's best return men the minute he steps on the field. Jackson is a slight corner whose return abilities could push him into the first-round discussion.
Kick returners
1. T.J. Logan, RB, North Carolina
2. *Carlos Henderson, WR, Louisiana Tech
3. *John Ross, WR, Washington
Logan had two kickoff return touchdowns last season.
