2014 NFL Draft's Top 5 prospects at every position| Offense

The 2014 NFL Draft is a just under a year away, but it's never too early to look ahead. Here are my top five prospects at every offensive.

Quarterback:
1. Teddy Bridgewater, Louisville- Bridgewater led the Louisville Cardinals to an 11-2 record and a Sugar Bowl win over the Florida Gators. He has a very high football IQ and is expected to be the first signal caller off the board next year and possibly the number one overall pick.
2. Tajh Boyd, Clemson- Boyd improved his game in his junior season and showed plenty of improvement in his game. The 6'1" 225-pounder has a strong, accurate arm and can take a hit. I expect him to improve in his senior season.
3. Aaron Murray, Georgia- Murray had a good season last year but he's struggled against elite defenses like Florida, South Carolina, and Alabama. He needs to improve against better competition to be a first round pick.
4. A.J. McCarron, Alabama- McCarron is a winner, having helped lead the Crimson Tide to back-to-back National Titles in 2011 and 2012. In his three years playing for Alabama he's completed 66.7 percent of his passes and thrown 49 touchdowns to just 8 interceptions.
5. David Fales, San Jose St.- Fales was a junior college transfer who broke out last year at San Jose St. He doesn't face elite competition and that will be a knock on him when he enters the draft. But, he's got terrific accuracy, decent mobility, good size, and great stats.

Running Back:
1. De'Anthony Thomas, Oregon- Thomas isn't built like a running back. He's lean. But his playmaking ability is off the charts. He, more than any player I've seen, is always a threat to score with the ball in his hands.
2. Ka'Deem Carey, Arizona- Carey led the nation in rushing in 2012 when he ran for 1,929 yards and scored 23 touchdowns. He's a quick back with physicality to his game. If he can put on some more muscle without losing speed it'd help his draft stock.
3. Silas Redd, USC- Redd transferred from Penn State to USC after the infamous child abuse scandal. In his first season with Southern Cal he racked up 905 yards and five touchdowns. Redd has good speed and shows an ability to break tackles. Look for him to have an excellent senior season in 2013.
4. Lache Seastrunk, Baylor- Seastrunk may fly under the radar due to Baylor's passing game the past couple seasons. But the Bear's running back has a good combination of size and speed and is expected to serve a larger role on offense this season.
5. Damien Williams, Oklahoma- Williams had a pretty good season in 2012 running 946 yards and 11 touchdowns on only 176 carries. He displayed good receiving ability catching 29 passes. He's a solidly built back who could breakout in 2013.

Wide Receiver:
1. Marqise Lee, USC- Lee was a finalist for the Heisman Trophy in 2012, maybe I should just stop there? I would, but with quarterback Matt Barkley now in the NFL it'll be interesting too see how Lee's stats are effected by it in 2013.
2. Sammy Watkins, Clemson- Watkins is an extremely explosive athlete who has great speed an moves with the ball in his hands. He's a game changer.
3. Jordan Matthews, Vanderbilt- Matthews has good hands and runs clean routes. His production took a huge leap his junior year and he'll look to build on that in his final year.
4. Brandon Coleman, Rutgers- Coleman is an imposing target. His 6-foot-6 225-pound frame make him a nightmare for cornerbacks. Scouts are going to question his speed when he enters the draft but he'll be a force regardless of his 40 yard dash time.
5. Mike Evans, Texas A&M- Like Coleman, Mike Evans is a big man. At 6'5" 225lbs he uses his basketball background to his advantage against smaller defenders. His quarterback Johnny Manziel got all the attention last year but Evans was a huge reason for Manziel's success.

Tight End:
1. Austin Seferian-Jenkins, Washington- Team's are looking for the next Rob Gronkowski and Sefarian-Jenkins is the closest thing since Gronk was drafted in 2010. With great size (6'6" 267lbs) and athletic ability he has the potential to be great. However off field problems have hurt him. If he can stay out of trouble you can pencil him in as a first round pick.
2. Eric Ebron, North Carolina- Ebron was the Tar Heels' second leading receiver in 2012 catching 40 passes for 625 yards and four scores. He has all the intangibles teams look for in a tight end.
3. C.J. Federowicz, Iowa- Federowicz has the size teams look for in a tight end (6'7" 265lbs). He's a good and willing blocker and if he continues to work on his pass catching it'll help his draft stock considerably.
4. Colt Lyerla, Oregon- Lyerla was one of many weapons used in the Ducks offense last year. He shows terrific athleticism but could stand to add some weight. It'll be interesting to see how he, and the Ducks offense as a whole, fair this season under new head coach Mark Helfrich.
5. Xavier Grimble, USC- Grimble displayed good receiving ability last season and with Robert Woods in the NFL and Marquise Lee commanding a single high safety, Grimble should have plenty of opportunities this season.

Interior Offensive Lineman:
1. Cyril  Richardson, Baylor- A massive man at 6'5" 335lbs Richardson has played at both guard and tackle for the Baylor Bears. He's more effective at guard and will likely play the position in the pros. He's a mauler in the run game but would be wise to improve his pass protection.
2. Zack Martin, Notre Dame- Martin is Notre Dame's starting left tackle but will likely be moved inside at the next level. At 6'4 305lbs Martin is built more like a guard in a zone blocking scheme. His versatility will help him in the pros.
3. Gabe Jackson, Mississippi St.- Jackson, like Richardson, is a mauler in the run game but should look to improve his pass blocking. He played well against Alabama and LSU last year. If he plays well against the Bulldog's tough 2013 schedule, he'll start opening eyes.
4. Bryan Stork, Florida St.- Stork has experience playing at center and guard at Florida St. That versatility with serve him well in the pros. He's improved each year and I'd expect that trend to continue.
5. Anthony Steen, Alabama- Anthony Steen was overlooked because he played on a prolific offense and offensive line. He was overshadowed by his line mates D.J. Fluker, Chance Warmack, and Barrett Jones; all of whom are now in the NFL. Steen, along with teammate Kouanjio, are now "the guys." Steen finished 2012 without giving up a single sack or committing a single penalty. Very impressive.

Offensive Tackles:
1. Taylor Lewan, Michigan- Lewan enters his fourth straight season at Michigan as the starting left tackle. With a great senior season he can supplant himself as the top left tackle in college football. Lewan has the nastiness teams want in their offensive lineman and plays with a mean streak.
2. Jake Matthews, Texas A&M- Son of Hall of Famer Bruce Matthews, Jake will be moving over to left tackle since Luke Joeckel is a Jacksonville Jaguar. Matthews is smart and technically sound. Look for him to fight for that label of "top left tackle" with Taylor Lewan.
3. Cyrus Kouanjio, Alabama- Kouanjio protected A.J. McCarron's blindside and plowed defenders for Eddie Lacy in 2012 helping Alabama win the National Championship. He's quick and athletic for his size and another impressive season should cement him as a first round pick.
4. James Hurst, North Carolina- Hurst has the size and quickness teams look for in a tackle. Hurst will start his season off with a mighty test as he squares off with Jadeveon Clowney.
5. David Yankey, Stanford- Yankey did a good job for the Cardinals at left tackle last year and should continue to improve. He'll face some very good pass rushers this season and the results will help scouts decide if he's better suited at tackle or guard.
