2015 NFL Draft: Pre-Combine Big Board

To the dismay of football fans all over the world, the season is officially over.

Luckily, the off-season is never short on excitement and surprises with both free agency and the 2015 NFL Draft.

In fact, I do believe that there is a certain event involving the draft that is hours away from taking place. The NFL Scouting Combine.

The combine is always a worthwhile event that allows us to see how well each prospect has handled their preparations in comparison to their respective class mates. More than that, the combine is also a very important tool for teams and scouts in terms of face-to-face interviews and physical measurements.

The draft process is a long and strenuous one that starts well before the season is over. By this time, most teams already have their big boards pretty well set up. The combine is more to just touch up on a few things rather than make or break prospects.

So, many of us will keep a close eye on how things shake up in Indianapolis over the rest of the week and use what we learn from it to help finalize rankings. Here is a quick look at how I have my Top 50 overall prospects ranked heading into the combine workouts.
