Making NFL Draft big boards is always challenging because of how many different considerations must be weighed against each other – physical and athletic traits, production, pro-readiness, upside and potential scheme fits, to name a few – but this year seems particularly difficult. I realize that the big board below might look considerably different from some others and even from my own recent and upcoming mock drafts. Yet, I decided to trust my tape evaluations more than pre-Draft workouts. There are a lot of similarly-ranked players in the 20-30 range and the 30-40 range, so several likely or potential first-round picks didn’t make the cut. As always, feedback is appreciated, and I can be reached on Twitter @draftexaminer.
