Our coverage of the 2017 Senior Bowl (Saturday, 2:30 p.m., NFL Network) begins today with a look at the top offensive prospects. Just last year, Carson Wentz was the top quarterback in attendance and proved to the Eagles that he was worth the No. 2 overall selection. Who will be on the team's radar after this week?

Quarterback

Top of the Heap: Nate Peterman (Pitt)

Peterman is clearly the best pro prospect at the quarterback position in this game. The Tennessee transfer started 24 games the past two years for the Panthers, and what makes him stand out is his ability to execute pro-style passing concepts at a high level thanks to his repetitive accuracy, good decision-making, and natural touch to all areas of the field. Capable of making big-time throws in tight windows, Peterman flew under the radar most of the season, but is now getting buzz as a potential second-day selection in April.

Practice Standout: Davis Webb (Cal)

Arm talent is usually what shines brightest from quarterbacks in practices throughout the week, and Webb has that. The replacement for Jared Goff started his career at Texas Tech, but transferred to Berkeley for his senior season and enjoyed a very successful campaign. Webb has started a total of 26 games in his career, and what stands out most with him is his arm and touch on vertical throws. Like Goff, he needs to improve his ability to work from the pocket under pressure and get through pro-style progressions, but Webb has NFL talent as a thrower.

Most Productive College Player: Josh Dobbs (Tennessee)

Dobbs has spent a lot of time as the starter in Knoxville, and while he is flawed as a pro prospect he was productive at the college level. The Georgia native threw for 53 touchdowns and ran for 32 more in his career. Dobbs has arm talent and natural athleticism, but can he prove himself this week as a pro prospect? That's the big question for him.

Best Story: Antonio Pipkin (Tiffin)

Pipkin faces a similar issue as Dobbs, but add in the uphill climb of coming from a much lower level of competition. The Division II All-America reminds some analysts of Dallas Cowboys starter Dak Prescott because of his size and his release. He has a lot of mechanical issues to work through, but he is an incredible story because of the opportunity he has this week to prove himself in front of NFL decision-makers. This senior quarterback group is underwhelming as a whole, meaning there's room for prospects to rise throughout the pre-draft process.

Philly Connection: Sefo Liufau (Colorado)

A three-and-a-half-year starter for the Buffaloes, Liufau has NFL size and athleticism for the position. He's a drive thrower with light feet, and is viewed by some as a moldable ball of clay for a prospective quarterback coach to work with and develop into a future backup and spot-starter in the NFL. The senior hails from Tacoma, Washington which is the same hometown of former Eagles safety Ron Medved.

Rest of the Pack: C.J. Beathard (Iowa)

Running Back/Fullback

Top of the Heap: Kareem Hunt (Toledo)

Hunt is one of the sleepers in this running back class, and he's been producing at a high level for the Rockets for a few years now. He added weight going into his junior season, and as a senior he played to that size between the tackles. Hunt seems like a safe bet to stick in the league as even a potential starter because he's a competitive runner with very good contact balance, decisive vision, elusive wiggle, and the ability to catch the ball out of the backfield.

Practice Standout: De'Veon Smith (Michigan)

Smith was my "Top of the Heap" pick for last week's Shrine Game, and he got the call up to the Senior Bowl. Smith is a physical runner with good vision and the ability to impact the game on third down as both a receiver and a blocker. His athleticism is a bit of a question mark, but he has the look of an NFL ball carrier. After standing out last week in St. Petersburg, Florida, can he do the same at the Senior Bowl?

Most Productive College Player: Donnel Pumphrey (San Diego State)

Pumphrey has put up video game numbers during his career with the Aztecs, rushing for at least 1,600 yards in each of the past three years including 2,133 as a senior. A diminutive ball carrier with a small frame, Pumphrey is quick, tough, has good vision, and catches the ball well out of the backfield. How will his lack of size impact his ceiling in the NFL? That's a question he can begin to answer on the field in Mobile this week.

Best Story: Sam Rogers (Virginia Tech)

A high school football star who stood out as a quarterback, receiver, and linebacker in his early years, Rogers walked on at Virginia Tech in 2013 and immediately took over the starting job as a fullback, a position he had never played before. He was one of the biggest playmakers in the Hokies' offense as both a receiver and a runner by the end of his senior year. He lines up at a number of spots and wins with his athleticism and savvy route running.

Philly Connection: Jamaal Williams (BYU)

Many analysts are high on Williams, who ran for over 1,300 yards as a senior, and for good reason. He's a physical back who, like Smith, can impact the game as a blocker and a receiver. His vision in between the tackles is a bit up and down, and there are questions about his overall athleticism. But this is a great showcase for Williams against some of the best backs in the country as he builds off what he learned at BYU, where former Eagles running back Reno Mahe was his position coach throughout his college career.

Rest Of The Pack: Corey Clement (Wisconsin), Matt Dayes (N.C. State), Freddie Stevenson (Florida State)

Wide Receiver

Top of the Heap: Taywan Taylor (Western Kentucky)

There's no question in my mind that Taylor is the best receiver in Mobile this week. He's gotten better as a route runner every year for the Hilltoppers. He is athletic, reliable at the catch point, and great with the ball in his hands after the catch. He doesn't have great size and isn't going to blaze in the 40-yard dash at the Combine, but Taylor has the makings of a starting NFL receiver.

Practice Standout: Josh Reynolds (Texas A&M)

Reynolds is a bit of a "boom or bust" type prospect, and if he "booms" this week he will be considered one of the big winners at practice. Reynolds has size at just under 6-4, speed to get vertical, and Velcro-like hands. He's not a polished route runner and needs to improve getting off press coverage, but he's a talented prospect with a pretty high ceiling on the outside.

Most Productive College Player: Cooper Kupp (Eastern Washington)

Kupp has been scorching stat sheets since his true freshman season, catching a total of 428 passes over four seasons, more than any other wide receiver drafted in the last five years. Now the 6-2, 209-pound wideout is hoping that his collegiate success translates to a productive NFL career. Kupp isn't a burner, but is a reliable pass catcher, an above-average route runner with decent athleticism with really good hands who could potentially project to the outside or inside to the slot in the NFL. Could Kupp follow in the footsteps of his father and grandfather, who played in the NFC East for the Giants and Cowboys, respectively?

Best Story: Jamari Staples (Louisville)

Listed at 6-4, 191 pounds, Staples was a big man without a home after UAB shut its doors and disbanded the football team after the 2014 season. He was left without a program and was, in essence, a free agent. I'd say things worked out all right for the Alabama native as he returns to his home state for this game after a productive two-year stint with the Cardinals. Staples was third on the team this year with 36 catches for 615 yards and a pair of scores, catching passes from the Heisman Trophy winner Lamar Jackson.

Philly Connection: Isaiah Jones (East Carolina)

Jones set the FBS record for catches in a career (339), a record set by one of his former teammates a few years ago in Justin Hardy. At 6-2, 193 pounds, Jones has good size and really reliable hands. He's not a burner, and there are questions about whether he can separate on the outside, but he has a place in the NFL. It also helps to have family who members have been through it before. Jones' brother Cayleb was with the Eagles last summer in Training Camp, while his uncle, former pro quarterback Jeff Blake, was a member of the 2004 NFC Championship team.
