Offensive Line followed by Defensive Line.

Maybe,but you'll know very quickly if they can play.Not so much with O-lineman. Some can be a total shite show through a redshirt year and the next and then develop in to a very productive player.Tangibles play a much higher role for a db's future success as compared to an O-lineman

Offensive line. WR seems tough seems a lot bust.

DTs are Harder than you think
Sometimes big huge guys have just been pushing around high school linemen for four years.
I don't think any position is without risk. DT is simply the easiest in relative terms.
If you sign a five star DT, odds are he is going to be a big producer.
That doesn't make the Mizzou Miracle of Pinkle signing all those three star diamond in the rough DTs that are all conference less amazing.

QB's, just look at the track record. Highly rated highschool QB's tend to suck, especially guys who are rated as pro style. There hasn't been a top rated Pro Style recruit to pan out since like Ryan Mallett in '07 and Stafford in '06. In 2016 there really isn't a reason to recruit one, the dual threat guys just have it all plus more athleticism.
And it makes sense I guess. Most high schools are going to try to get their best player the ball as much as possible. As a QB, if you aren't one of the most athletic players on your highschool team, chances are that's going to be ostracized in college. There are obviously exceptions, but Peyton Mannings are few and far between.

I think this is why coaches put so much stock into camps. A 6-4 320 lb offensive lineman could dominate at a smaller high school, but how does he do against bigger, more athletic d-linemen at a camp? Conversely, that O-linemen might struggle at times against smaller competition, but it may only be a matter of technique. Coaches get to see recruits up close and work with them a little.

I say it would be the QB and kickers

Quickly is a relative term.I'm talking by their Sophomore year and in comparison to O-lineman.
