At this time next week, prospects will be running, jumping, and lifting at football's biggest job interview known as the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.
There, from Feb. 17-23, the analysis will continue as the league's personnel people prepare for the 2015 NFL Draft, which begins the night of April 30.
Before it all unfolds, NFL Media draft expert Mike Mayock, a former defensive back from Boston College who played the 1982 and 1983 seasons with the Giants, sorted out the chaos and released his first position-by-position rankings of the talent coming out of the college ranks.
