After three month’s of investigation: The final edition
With the NFL Draft just two days away, fans are ready for the awaited announcement, “The Los Angeles Rams are on clock.” At this time of the year, story lines are bigger and mock drafts rule the day. Prospects are offered up, with cases for their inclusion made and rebutted.
Back in January, I posted my opening Top 300 draft prospects and now after three month’s of watching film and sifting through tons of player info, I offer up a final Top 300. Although the candidates are formatted into rounds for easier reading, it’s a little misleading. The exercise is not about the slot where I believe they will be taken, but rather where I rate them as prospects. The rounds just make good separations that football fans understand. I added scores for the first time to offer an idea of the delineations between the players.
Let me know your thoughts in the comment section. And enjoy the draft!
