The Draft Network

● By Brentley Weissman
Now that we are less than a month away from the 2021 NFL Draft, I thought it would be a good time to sit down and finalize my personal big board of all the players I have watched over this evaluation cycle. Watching film of this year’s class has been tons of fun, and it’s safe to say that this year’s draft class is one of the most talented classes in recent years. Differentiating between my 20th-best player versus my 38th-best player is like splitting hairs, and that just speaks to the overall depth and talent that this class has to offer. Now, I try my best to take into account injury history and other concerns that would affect a grade, but for the most part, my evaluation is purely off the tape. My big board may not look like the rest of the scouting team at TDN, and it probably won’t look like yours either. That’s the great thing about this process, it's all just opinions and everyone is entitled to their own.
