The NFL has announced that 65 college underclassmen have been granted eligibility to enter the 2012 NFL Draft.
The list of players includes well-known prospects, including Oklahoma wide receiver Justin Blackmon, LSU cornerback Morris Claiborne, Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III, USC offensive tackle Ryan Kalil and Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck.
Luck is widely expected to be the top overall pick in the draft, while Blackmon, Claiborne, Griffin III and Kalil are expected to be top 10 picks.
The Redskins are thought to have needs at quarterback, wide receiver, offensive line, inside linebacker, safety and cornerback. That list could change depending on what happens in free agency this offseason.
Along with Griffin III and Luck, Arizona State's Brock Osweiler and Oregon's Darron Thomas are entering the NFL Draft as underclassmen.
According to the NFL, each of the 65 players has met the league's three-year eligibility rule. They each submitted a written application in which he renounced his remaining college football eligibility. The deadline for receiving applications was Jan. 15.
The NFL Draft kicks off on Thursday, April 26 at 8 p.m. ET. The second and third rounds are scheduled for Friday, April 27 at 7 p.m. ET. Rounds 4-7 are set for Saturday, April 28 at 12 noon ET.
