2012 NFL Draft Big Board
This is our next to last Big Board Update. The picture is becoming much clearer. The combine won’t change rankings much, except for small school players who I have questions about who have a chance to show enough athleticism in their Pro Days or at the combine. Some players character concern issues will also be put to rest (through the use of today’s media) or linger. Those are the sorts of updates to expect with our final Big Board.
Players that are italicized or bolded are players I feel I sleighed in the rankings and I’m going to go back and try to watch some more games of them and pay close attention to their pro days. A lot of the guys italicized have injury concerns as well so I’ll be paying close attention to what kind of news develops on their injuries.
