Pro Football Focus

Draft week — or “finals” week for NFL media, as it could be called — is finally here. This is the week you’ll read final positional rankings, mock drafts and big boards from media members all across the country, myself included. The 2022 NFL Draft class has been a lot of fun to scout because there is such a difference in opinion on so many players — from the top 10 to the top 50, the mid-rounds and beyond. The fatal flaw with national big boards is that they aren’t team-specific. In team war rooms, their big boards are ranked according to which players will best fit their organization, scheme, coaching staff and long-term goals. My rankings are aligned more on general talent and how I see these players panning out at the pro level.
