Like I did last year, for the next couple days I'm going to use a big board to see how the NFL views certain players as I do. Like I did last year, there will be guys I hit a grand slam on as well as completely whiff on. These are where I think they play out to throughout their NFL career, not necessarily where they will be drafted. A good example is last year I thought Aaron Lynch was a 2nd–round talent, he went in the 5th. He exceeded those 5th–round expectations. There are gems out there, it's about finding that talent.
A couple things different this time around. You'll still see a player in the red font for injury. However you'll see a player highlighted in green who I think would be a great fit. Obviously I'm not going to make all the best players green, there will be guys in the later rounds in the green. If you see a player in yello, that's a no-no. So yes, I'm prepared for 6 "yellows" do be drafted by the time the draft is over.
If you think a player is too low or too high, feel free to ask. If a player isn't listed, I either didn't watch him or chose not to include him for a specific reason. Let's hope we see all green come next week. Enjoy, 138 players.
