This is my final 2017 NFL Draft Big Board which takes a look at my top-100 prospects.

My final 2017 NFL Draft Big Board doesn’t feature a lot of changes from my last version, but puts the finishing touch on the process. This list is based on my own evaluations and will likely look a lot different than others available.

The biggest difference is likely the ranking of the quarterback prospects. Clemson’s Deshaun Watson is the only quarterback inside my top 35. The others are rated more as mid-round prospects with a lot of question marks.

It’s important to note that this is my rating of the player and now where I project they will be drafted. My final mock draft will be released tomorrow which will give my prediction on how things will shake out on Thursday night.

Another major difference on my Big Board is how I have the running backs ranked. Christian McCaffrey is my top rated running back. He’s slightly ahead of Leonard Fournette based on his versatility and the many ways he could impact the game.

D’Onta Foreman is also someone I rate very highly and inside my top-35 players. His size and speed combination isn’t teachable and gives him huge upside.
