While the 2022 NFL Draft might not be top-heavy with only 26 players receiving first-round grades it does offer great depth in the middle of the draft. In this week’s NFL Draft Notebook I give my final big board and then release my final position rankings.
Please note the grade by each player is where I would take them in the NFL Draft not where I project them to go.
