2015 NFL Draft Positional Top Tens

I put the players into type tiers based on this piece Phil Savage the director of the Senior Bowl and it was a very fruitful process and a better way to think about players. RB, WR, OT, DT, Edge (Pass Rushers), Off Ball Linebackers (OBLB) and CB have 15 listed because of the amount of prospects. These tiers and prospects inform my top 50 big board and is a great place to start looking at the prospects.
