The 2010 NFL draft is just days old, but it's not too early to start thinking about the 2011 draft class. I preface this by saying a lot can and will undoubtedly change between now and next year's draft, but as of now, here are the top 10 offensive players to watch.
* denotes underclassmen
1. QB Andrew Luck*, Stanford
(6-foot-4, 235 pounds)
Luck will only be a third-year sophomore this fall but he is advanced well beyond his game experience thanks to excellent coaching from Jim Harbaugh. Luck is a big, athletic prospect with a smooth delivery and good overall accuracy. Improved decision-making under pressure as a junior could vault him to the head of what appears to be a strong 2011 quarterback crop.
