2018 NFL Draft Big Board: Early October Update

We are in the early part of October and several players have seen their stock rise on my 2018 NFL Draft Big Board.

It’s still very early in the process but my 2018 NFL Draft Big Board is starting to take shape. Over the past few weeks, I had a chance to take a closer look at several prospects who have jumped up my board.

The two biggest movers have been Ohio State’s Dre’Mont Jones and Virginia Tech’s Tremaine Edmunds. Both players make their debut on my Big Board and come in very high in the rankings. These are impactful defenders who have the potential to be real difference makers at the next level.

Please note that this isn’t a finished product and will see a lot more changes as the draft process continues.
