This is the wide receiver and offensive tackle draft. Yes, it is very possible the first four picks on April 25 in Detroit could be quarterbacks, but that probably says as much about roster construction in the NFL these days as it does the quality of this year’s QB class.

FILE - Southern California quarterback Caleb Williams runs during the first half of an NCAA college football game against Washington Saturday, Nov. 4, 2023, in Los Angeles. Williams is expected to be taken in the first round of the NFL Draft. FILE - North Carolina quarterback Drake Maye plays during the first half of an NCAA college football game Saturday, Nov. 18, 2023, in Clemson, S.C. Maye is a possible first round pick in the NFL Draft.

Those position groups are so loaded don’t be surprised if the first defensive player selected comes outside the top 10.Overview: Four first-rounders appears to be a lock. It’s just a matter of when. The intrigue comes later. Will another slip into the first round?Scouting report: Mahomes-esque traits with the instincts, mobility and arm talent to breakdown a defense even when it does everything right.

Fact: One brother played for a national championship-winning basketball team at North Carolina and another pitched for a national championship baseball team at Florida.Scouting report: Accurate deep passer and explosive runner with a slender frame. He scrambles to run, not necessarily to create opportunities to pass.Scouting report: A difficult prospect to evaluate.

Fact: Redshirted as a freshmen and had only 32 touches in his second year playing behind Bijan Robinson and Roschon Johnson.Overview: As many as four wideouts could go in the top 12. After that the position is so deep it could cause good prospects to slide into the second and even third rounds as teams decide they can wait and still get their guy.Scouting report: Precise route-runner with superb body control.

Fact: Had nearly double the receiving yards and more than double the number of touchdown catches last season than he did in first two years in college.Scouting report: Tough and fast receiver who makes lots of difficult catches but not necessarily a lot of contested catches. Others to watch: Malachi Corley, Western Kentucky; Roman Wilson, Michigan; Troy Franklin, Oregon; Ricky Pearsall, Florida; Xavier Legette, South Carolina.Scouting report: Elite athlete, with excellent hands and the speed and toughness to turn routine plays into huge gains after the catch. In today’s NFL, he’s a bit undersized, which could limit how he’s used as a blocker.Gone by: If Bowers slips out of the top 10 he’ll be a steal.Overview: The deepest this position has been in years.
