It’s finally here — my favorite post of the year. As planned, this big board is, well, bigger than ever, including more prospects, information, and player comparisons — a favorite of some — than prior versions. This is my 23rd year following the NFL Draft, and I enjoy it now more than ever before. From Carson Palmer to Cam Ward, it’s been a fun journey. Now, onto the big board — my third ever for the NFL Draft. Here’s to many more.
This year, I’ve implemented a grading scale for NFL Draft prospects, ranging from 25-105. It may seem a bit complicated, but as you’ll see below, it’s quite simple. Time is a finite part of our lives, so for the sake of it, I’ve only included prospects that graded 50 or higher on my big board.
Grading Scale:
100+: Generational prospect
96-99: Above-average No. 1 overall pick
95: Average No. 1 overall pick
90-94: Round 1
85-89: Round 2
80-84: Round 3
75-79: Round 4
70-74: Round 5
65-69: Round 6
60-64: Round 7
55-59: Priority UDFA
50-54: UDFA
