ESPN's NFL draft guru Mel Kiper recently completed an extensive and very cool project: ranking the top draft-eligible prospects for each FBS team Insider.

Remember, draft-eligible doesn't mean freshmen or sophomores, even if those guys have the highest NFL ceilings on a team. Here's a look at Kiper's take on every Big Ten team Insider.

You need to be an ESPN Insider to read the whole story, but Kiper's choices are listed below:

Illinois: WR Jarred Fayson
Indiana: QB Ben Chappell
Iowa: DE Adrian Clayborn
Michigan: DT Mike Martin
Michigan State: LB Greg Jones
Minnesota: LT Jeff Wills
Northwestern: LB Quentin Davie
Ohio State: DE Cameron Heyward
Penn State: G/C Stefen Wisniewski
Purdue: DE Ryan Kerrigan
Wisconsin: LT Gabe Carimi

A lot of the usual suspects here, although there are a few surprises as well such as Illinois' Fayson and Minnesota's Wills. I also expected Indiana wideout Tandon Doss instead of Chappell (not a slight against Chappell).

What's your take?
