Stampede Blue

It is time for me to, yet again, throw my Big Board rankings out into the public to get torn apart. I have watched around 200 players for the draft class and, while these aren’t my final rankings yet, here is how I would stack up this class at the moment. With Pro Days rolling out every day, I have been able to go back to some film and verify some numbers that these players are putting up in work-outs. A disclaimer, again, for how I grade players; I am a strict grader who grades differently than most people. When I put “first round grade” on a player, that means I think the player can be a high level contributor immediately and has high level potential. So, when you see my grades by round in this piece, be sure to look at the parenthesis after to get the explanation for it. I usually have very few first round grades compared to most evaluators, but that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t take some of my fringe players in the first. Big Boards, for me, are all about stacking production and immediate impact so it will look weird to see only 11-12 first round grades.
