The talent left in the draft shows the depth of this year's class.
Many consider the 2014 NFL Draft one of the deepest of all-time. If the players available after the first round are any indication, that sentiment is true.
Massive Notre Dame defensive tackle Louis Nix tops the list of the best available players leading into the second round of the draft, according to SB Nation's top-200 list. His defensive line teammate, Stephon Tuitt, is also still out there. They're just two of several highly rated defensive linemen still out there. There are versatile pass rushers like Kony Ealy out there, as is Minnesota's Ra'Shede Hageman.
The real story, though, is Fresno State quarterback Derek Carr. Ironically, he could be the choice for the Houston Texans with the No. 33 pick.
