NFL Draft week is upon us! The draft will be held in Las Vegas on Thursday, April 28th. While so much uncertainty remains in terms of draft projections, including the first overall pick, it’s time for me to offer you the culmination of my year-long scouting process: my positional rankings! Below is every single player I scouted in this draft process with the exception of those I interviewed, given that objectivity would be lacking in grading those players. Next to each player is the player’s grade, which consists of the first number indicating the round grade and the second number indicating where in the round. For example, a 1.5 is a mid-first-round grade, a 2.9 is a late-second-round grade, and a 3.1 is an early-third-round grade. Enjoy!
