2018 NFL Draft: NFL Scouting Combine Top 128 Big Board

With my work away from this site, being a scouting intern at a agency run by a former NFL Scout, I have been scouring tons of tape, and with the NFL Scouting Combine finally here, I figured it’s about time to put out my initial Top-128 Big Board of players for this year’s 2018 NFL Draft.

Why 128?

Well the NFL Draft consists of seven “Titled Rounds,” but there are actually eight rounds each year with the inclusion of the total compensatory picks awarded. So, in total, each year there are 256 draft picks, and I figured I’d try something different and put out a big board with half of the total players to be selected.

No scouting reports for each player, just a standard big board.

Enjoy...

Again this is my Big Board, not reflected by anyone else’s views. So, before you start to bash it please do some research of your own. Don’t just say, “Well Person A on ESPN, or Person B from NFL.com has that prospect graded way lower.”

I look forward to talking some draft prospects with everyone.
