The NFL combine is upon us, so what better time to roll out our Top 25 list? This will almost certainly change in the coming days, though perhaps not as much as you'd expect. Yes, if a wide receiver or cornerback blazes a 4.3 40 that will certainly help their draft stock -- just like a 4.65 won't do them any favors -- but the tape is the tape and that won't change. More important are the team interviews and medical evaluations, two critical components to the draft process that aren't quite as sexy as running fast or jumping high. With that in mind, here's our Big Board 1.0. It includes just 25 players but in the coming weeks that list will expand so keep an eye out for that. In the meantime, remember to check out 'With the First Pick,' our NFL Draft podcast with co-host Rick Spielman, the former Vikings general manager who has more than 30 years of NFL experience. The show is now twice a week: every Monday and Thursday at 2 p.m. ET, and you can watch us live on the NFL on CBS YouTube channel. And you can subscribe on iTunes, Spotify or wherever you listen to podcasts.
