2017 NFL Draft Big Board: Holiday Update
By Jon Dove
This most recent version of my 2017 NFL Draft Big Board features several major changes with new players making the cut and others dropping off.
As the college football season draws to a close, my 2017 NFL Draft Big Board starts to become more stable. Things are still fluid at the moment based on the fact I’m still working through my scouting reports. Another factor is the status of the underclassmen and whether or not we’ll see a mass exodus.
The biggest movement in this update comes from my ability to get a closer look at several players. Florida’s Quincy Wilson is someone it took me awhile to get a good look at, but now that I have he’s entered my top-25.
My evaluation of the quarterbacks is still ongoing, but I don’t see much change coming. The fact is that this group of quarterbacks are high risk prospects that shouldn’t be considered at the top of the 1st round.
It’s a different story at the cornerback position where there’s a ton of talent. I currently have 13 cornerbacks inside my top-75. This doesn’t include the handful of safeties who also appear early and often.
Overall, the 2017 NFL Draft may not have the sure-fire franchise quarterback but it has a lot of depth and talent.
