2013 NFL Draft guard rankings

Matthew Emmons-USA TODAY Sports

Two guards have gone in the first round of the NFL Draft each of the past two seasons and that trend should continue this year. Although he didn't measure in the at the NFL Combine as big as expected, Chance Warmack is still an elite guard prospect. He's a powerhouse run blocker and can dominate at the point of attack.

Right behind him is Jonathan Cooper. For teams that prefer quicker guards, Cooper may actually be rated higher. On the complete opposite end is Larry Warford, a road-grading mauler. The guard class this year includes a few tackles that may have to convert to guard full time in the NFL.

1. Chance Warmack | 6'2, 317 pounds | Guard | Alabama
2. Jonathan Cooper | 6'2 1/8, 311 pounds | Guard | North Carolina
