Jordan Katz 2018 Big Board: Top 50

Posted on

This is my own personal big board for the 2018 NFL Draft. The players may not represent the order that I have them in on my most recent mock draft. This is strictly my rankings of each players and how they will translate as pros. This year I put the grade I gave them along with their rankings.

To be clear, this is a vague big board for now. I will add my number evaluations to my final big board so you all can see a more in depth breakdown of where I value each player.

For this one in particular, a first round grade for me means that I believe they are an NFL starter. It’s hard to predict who will be a NFL superstar because so much of their success is dependent upon which team they are selected to. Generally speaking, if someone gives a player a first round grade, it means they think that player can start at the next level for an extended period of time. A second round grade for me means that they can be a starter down the road, but there are some questions at the moment. The 1st/2nd hybrids are guys that can be starters from day one, but also have some issues in their game.
