It’s still early in the college football season, but now is as good of a time as any to update individual position rankings for the 2012 NFL Draft.
2012 NFL Draft guard rankings: College tackles Washington and Glenn look best

The two best guard prospects are playing left tackle this season, so that should say a little about the class. It should also say something about those players – Brandon Washington of Miami and Cordy Glenn of Georgia. Washington is a natural guard but playing tackle out of necessity. Glenn has played tackle more, but has shown he doesn't have the lateral agility to stat outside. The best pure guard is Stanford's David DeCastro, a mauling guard who is the lynchpin of the team's running game.
