With The First Pick

My latest 2016 NFL Draft Big Board features my top 300 prospects. Ranking this many prospects is a major undertaking, but also a good way to get ready for next month’s draft. This always fun to compare the different Big Boards out there in the world. This version features several surprises as I value some players higher or lower than others. However, the top-10 prospects for this draft don’t change much from the different boards out there. The fact is that there are only a handful of prospects who feel like a safe bet to perform at a high level. One of those prospects, Ezekiel Elliott, plays running back which is a position that has lost some value over the years. This year’s draft also doesn’t have much depth in the back-end of the draft. Teams may find it difficult to find roster-worthy players in the 6th or 7th round of the draft. However, the middle parts of the draft should provide some starter caliber players.
