Mel Kiper's top 5 juniors by position
Rutgers' Anthony Davis solidified his stock, but groupings remain the same
I didn't shift any juniors up or down within their position groups, although Rutgers Scarlet Knights OL Anthony Davis solidified his standing as my No. 1 junior OT with his performance against UCF in the St. Petersburg Bowl.
Another guy who solidified his draft stock was Ryan Mathews, who I have as the No. 2 RB here. Fresno State lost to Wyoming in its bowl game, but Mathews looked good. If he comes out, he should place high.
I'll be changing up the positional groupings after the bowl games, which will be right before the juniors must officially declare for the draft. Keep checking back.
To check Mel's top 5 for every position among juniors -- he covers everything from QBs to LGs to punters -- you must be an ESPN Insider.
