The SEC is bursting with top prospects for the upcoming NFL Draft.

Known for its punishing defensive fronts, the SEC is home to the three top-rated defensive tackles by Bucky Brooks of NFL.com.

The conference is well represented at most positions. Quarterback and safety are the lone spots where an SEC player is not projected as one of the top 5 picks.

Here’s a look at the top 5 players at each position as rated by Brooks:

QUARTERBACKS

1. Jared Goff, California
2. Carson Wentz, North Dakota State
3. Connor Cook, Michigan State
4. Paxton Lynch, Memphis
5. Christian Hackenberg, Penn State

Chances are most SEC fans didn’t see much of Goff, who threw for 4,719 yards and 43 touchdowns for the Bears. The 6-foot-4 Californian has a strong, accurate arm and a reputation for excellence at reading defenses. The most recognizable name for most SEC fans is Lynch, who led Memphis past Ole Miss, but was held under wraps by Auburn in the Birmingham Bowl. Arkansas’ Brandon Allen and Mississippi State’s Dak Prescott have hopes of latching on with an NFL team.

RUNNING BACKS

1. Ezekiel Elliott, Ohio State
2. Derrick Henry, Alabama
3. Alex Collins, Arkansas
4. Kenneth Dixon, Louisiana Tech
5. Devontae Booker, Utah

Why Elliott over Heisman Trophy winner Henry and Arkansas’ hard-running Collins? The 6-1, 225-pound Ohio State star has better pass catching and blocking skills. Like Henry, Elliott can handle a busy workload. Equipped with amazing speed for a 242-pound back, Henry has power and the ability to read zone blocking. The common knock on Henry is that the heavy workload at Alabama may have shortened his NFL career. Collins showed impressive consistency, but stands only 5-11.

RECEIVERS

1. Laquon Treadwell, Ole Miss
2. Corey Coleman, Baylor
3. Josh Doctson, TCU
4. Tyler Boyd, Pittsburgh
5. Michael Thomas, Ohio State

There’s nothing not to like about Treadwell. He’s 6-2 with good speed and good hands and a penchant for making big plays. He runs good routes. He was particularly impressive coming back from a horrible leg injury against Auburn in 2014, showing dedication and hard work in rehab while losing 25 pounds. There may be a few receivers bigger and faster, but none better than the Ole Miss star.

TIGHT ENDS

1. Hunter Henry, Arkansas
2. Nick Vannett, Ohio State
3. Bryce Williams, East Carolina
4. Jerell Adams, South Carolina
5. Tyler Higbee, Western Kentucky

The next Jason Witten? That’s how Henry has been compared. At 6-5 and 253 pounds, Henry definitely has NFL size, which he used in college to help the Razorbacks’ ground game. An outstanding blocker with good hands — 51 catches with no drops as a senior — he’s also an intelligent player. His quick-thinking lateral in overtime kept Arkansas alive in its eventual victory at Ole Miss. The 6-4, 244-pound Adams was South Carolina’s No. 2 pass catcher. Though not fast or athletic, he’s a load to bring down, averaging almost seven yards after the catch. His strong performance during Senior Bowl week raised his draft stock.

OFFENSIVE TACKLES

1. Laremy Tunsil, Ole Miss 
2. Ronnie Stanley, Notre Dame
3. Jack Conklin, Michigan State
4. Taylor Decker, Ohio State
5. Shon Coleman, Auburn

Tunsil is the prototypical left tackle. The 6-5, 305-pound Ole Miss standout shows outstanding footwork and technique. He reads blitzes, twists and stunts and could add some more weight and strength without slowing down. The 6-6, 313-pound Coleman is strong and aggressive, though his footwork and technique could improve. He’s showed toughness in his battle with leukemia. He’s 24 years old due to missing two seasons with his illness.

GUARDS AND CENTERS

1. Cody Whitehair, Kansas State (OG)
2. Joshua Garnett, Stanford (OG)
3. Vadal Alexander, LSU (OG)
4. Ryan Kelly, Alabama (C)
5. Nick Martin, Notre Dame (C)

Alexander, a 6-5 and 336 pounds with long arms, stops pass rushers cold, especially if he gets his hands on them first. His specialty is run blocking. With his power, he knocks over defenders, opening big holes for running backs. The 6-4, 302-pound Kelly is known for his determination and toughness. He has been good against a variety of pass rushes and makes few penalties.

DEFENSIVE ENDS

1. Joey Bosa, Ohio State
2. Shaq Lawson, Clemson
3. DeForest Buckner, Oregon
4. Kevin Dodd, Clemson
5 (tie). Emmanuel Ogbah, Oklahoma State
5 (tie). Jonathan Bullard, Florida

Ohio State’s Bosa has been a dominant player for two seasons. The Gators’ Bullard, 6-2 and 283 pounds, consistently gets into the backfield. He has speed and agility and toughness, but does not have much explosiveness off the snap.

DEFENSIVE TACKLES

1. A’Shawn Robinson, Alabama
2. Jarran Reed, Alabama
3. Robert Nkemdiche, Ole Miss
4. Andrew Billings, Baylor
5. Kenny Clark, UCLA

The top three are from the SEC. The 6-4, 312-pound Robinson is difficult to get out of the way. He has size, strength and length and keeps his feet. The 6-3, 311-pound Reed has a proven ability to diagnose plays and make sure tackles — he wasn’t charted with a single missed tackle as a senior. But Reed isn’t a strong passer. At 6-4 and 296 pounds, Nkemdiche has outstanding athleticism and power. His lack of production — tackles and sacks — and his off-the-field behavior have caused his value to fall.

LINEBACKERS

1. Jaylon Smith, Notre Dame
2. Myles Jack, UCLA
3. Reggie Ragland, Alabama
4. Darron Lee, Ohio State
5. Su’a Cravens, USC

The 6-1, 259-pound Ragland is a solid producer. He’s always around the ball, he’s rarely in the wrong place and he doesn’t make many mistakes, mental or physical. A hard and sure tackler, he’s a leader, setting an example for teammates.

HYBRIDS

1. Noah Spence, Eastern Kentucky
2. Leonard Floyd, Georgia
3. Kamalei Correa, Boise State
4. Kyler Fackrell, Utah State
5. Dadi Nicolas, Virginia Tech

The 6-4, 231-pound Floyd is tough to stop off the edge. Georgia’s leader in sacks the last three seasons, he’s long and lean and capable of covering running backs man-to-man out of the backfield. He can gain weight and strength and must improve his tackling technique.

CORNERBACKS

1. Jalen Ramsey, Florida State
2. Vernon Hargreaves III, Florida
3. Mackensie Alexander, Clemson
4. Eli Apple, Ohio State
5. Kendall Fuller, Virginia Tech

Smooth and athletic, Hargreaves is an aggressive defender against the run, difficult for defenders to keep blocked. Though fast and quick off the ball, the 5-11, 192-pound Hargreaves can have trouble going up for the ball against taller receivers.

SAFETIES

1. Jeremy Cash, Duke
2. Vonn Bell, Ohio State
3. Darien Thompson, Boise State
4. Karl Joseph, West Virginia
5. Miles Killebrew, Southern Utah

The 6-0, 212-pound Cash was no college surprise. He started five games as a freshman at Ohio State before transferring. Cash is tough against the run. As a senior, he made 101 tackles, including 18 for loss and 2.5 sacks. He also forced three fumbles and broke up four passes. His weakness is man-to-man coverage due to lack of foot speed.
