2012 NFL draft: Top 5s by position

Through the entire college football season, I've ranked players based on class. Seniors were separated from juniors and draft-eligible sophomores. Now, with all players who will be a part of the draft process officially declared, we switch gears.

Below are the top players for each position among those officially in the draft. My other Top 5 list will rank players who will presumably be playing college football next season. Once the draft is complete, we'll again shift back to seniors and underclassmen.
