ESPN: 'Big Board' minus Barkley

One negative of USC QB Matt Barkley opting to return for his senior season: It means the Pac-12 has one less player on ESPN NFL draft guru Mel Kiper's "Big Board."

The Pac-12 continues to be well represented, however, with three top 10 and five players overall in Kiper's top 25.

Here's how things stack up:

  1. Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford
  2. Matt Kalil, OT, USC
  3. Jonathan Martin, OT, Stanford
  4. Vontaze Burfict, LB, Arizona State
  5. David DeCastro, OG, Stanford
