A great deal of 2014 rookies became instant NFL starters, highlighted by the wide receiver class of Sammy Watkins, Odell Beckham Jr., Mike Evans, Kelvin Benjamin, et al. They were joined by polished defensive players such as Khalil Mack and C.J. Mosley, seniors who entered the NFL pro-ready.

But who will follow in their footsteps next season?

To answer that, we looked not for the 10 best overall draft prospects but for the 10 that are the best finished products.

Nebraska defensive end Randy Gregory, for example, has the tools to be a top-five pick—and rightfully so. And there's a chance he turns those tools into a fine rookie season. But there are less-raw players out there with a better chance of starting from Week 1.

Injuries were also taken into account, most notably with regard to Georgia running back Todd Gurley, who would have made this list (with ease) if not for the question of his ACL surgery.

Sound off below and let us know whom else you'd add.
