As the long list of prospects for the 2016 NFL Draft begins to take shape, it’s becoming more and more obvious that the quarterbacks, defensive linemen, and the offensive linemen provide most of the top prospects throughout Round 1 and into Round Two. Pat Kirwan breaks down the positions that will likely dominate the 1st round.

It wouldn’t surprise me to see those three position groups account for as many as 16 of the top 31 picks. Remember, the Patriots lost their 1st round pick as part of the Deflategate scandal.
There could be as many as four QB’s taken among the top 31. We all know about Carson Wentz of North Dakota State, who seems to climb boards by the day. Paxton Lynch is a big, tall athletic looking QB out of Memphis, Jared Goff is a very productive passer out of Cal, and Connor Cook of Michigan State could also squeeze in there.
Joey Bosa leads the defensive end group, while Alabama’s A’Shawn Robinson is the best of the interior players at this point. But there could be six or seven taken in the first round alone, with another six or seven to follow in Round 2. The offensive line is led by OT’s Laremy Tunsil of Ole Miss, Ronnie Stanley of Notre Dame, and Jack Conklin of Michigan State, and a guard like LSU’s Vadal Alexander could be a late 1st or early 2nd round choice.
We haven’t even gotten to the Combine yet, so there’s still a lot of evaluation to take place. But these are some of the players who seem to be rising to the top of the class.
