Top 5: Seniors by position
Ranking top five senior NFL prospects, by position, for the 2013 draft
Originally Published: January 9, 2013

While my Big Board offers a look at the top 25 overall prospects, these rankings allow you to get a better sense of depth at each position. The senior class is always lighter in overall talent after the departure of so many juniors to the NFL, but it's still loaded with high draft picks.
For prospects together, here is the latest 2013 NFL draft Big Board.
All stats are through regular season. Will update after the bowls.
To see Mel Kiper's ranking of the top seniors at every position, you need to be an ESPN Insider.
