Wouldn’t be a draft these days without a Texas A&M tackle in the top 10. Amazingly, the 6-foot-5 Ogbuehi (pronounced oh-BWAY-hee) might be the best of that entire bunch, which has produced Luke Joeckel (No. 2 overall in 2013) and Jake Matthews (No. 6 this year). The Allen (Texas) High standout told ESPN.com’s Alex Scarborough he received a first-round grade for the 2014 draft. Ogbuehi played guard early in his Aggies career, then started at right tackle last year. This season he inherits the left tackle job previously held by Joeckel and Matthews.

Probably the WR to beat headed into the 2014 college football season, Cooper had 104 catches and 15 TDs combined over 2012-13 with the Crimson Tide. There is very little not to like here — the 6-1 Cooper breaks off sharp routes and said he ran three sub-4.4 40s after Alabama’s recent pro day (grain of salt on that one, though Cooper’s speed makes it believable).

Playing inside for Georgia’s 3-4 scheme, Wilson totaled 128 tackles during the 2013 regular season. The impressive total will mean little when it comes to Wilson’s draft stock, but it was not a smoke-and-mirrors job. The 6-2, 230-pounder probably could shift to a weak-side spot in a 4-3 at the next level; this hypothetical landing spot drops him in next to Brian Cushing.

Many NFL defensive coordinators (including new Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer, who previously held that job in Cincinnati) like their safeties to be interchangeable. In other words, both players at that spot on the field should be able to handle the center-field duties of a free safety and the in-the-box strong safety work. While spelling both FS Ha Ha Clinton-Dix and SS Vinnie Sunseri at times last season, Collins showed off the skills to adapt

After earning Freshman All-America status at cornerback, Mills struggled and eventually lost his starting job last season. However, the slip-up afforded him the opportunity to handle slot-corner duties and to try his hand at safety. That’s where he will open the 2014 season for the Tigers. The 6-1 Mills has the coveted lanky DB build; what he does well at corner should translate to safety, making him a coveted prospect.

Fowler (6-3, 277) converted from his high-school DE spot to a hybrid linebacker in Florida’s scheme. Last season, he recorded 10.5 tackles-for-loss and 3.5 sacks. He has the athleticism to play out wide in the NFL, though Fowler may also be big enough to kick down inside to push the pocket from there.

In two seasons with the Bulldogs, Gurley has rushed for nearly 2,400 yards with 33 total touchdowns (27 rushing, six receiving) and 53 receptions. When he is healthy, there is not a more complete, more dangerous back in all of college football. Therein lies the rub: Gurley dealt with multiple injuries last season, and still was not 100 percent for spring ball. Given the already rampant concerns about how long RBs can hold up in the NFL, Gurley needs to make it through a full season if he wants a Round 1 spot.
