Joe Mazzulo’s 2014 NFL Draft Offensive Rankings

With the Combine around the corner and pro days following in March/April,  here is an early look at the offensive landscape of the 2014 NFL Draft class. This is not necessarily an order in which I believe these players will come off of the board, but more or less a general ranking of which players I believe stand the best chance at achieving NFL success regardless of the situation they’re drafted into, as well as where I believe their final draft status will end up. My defensive rankings will be out early next week and as the draft approaches I will be releasing more in depth and analytical breakdowns of individual positions, follow me on twitter @JoeMazzulo for updates…..
