As always I have little to no idea which players in the draft are talented enough to fill out a top 10 Draft Board. So if you think you have a good gauge on the draft class lets see your Top 10 Prospect Board. We are about a month out so I thought this would be a good time to get a draft guide for myself going.

Here are the Rules...
  • The list must be ordered with the top prospect labelled "1."
  • You may exceed 10 if you want.
  • You have to ignore positional need basically filling out the board as though you were drafting for an expansion team that has already had an expansion draft filling out all positions with adequate veteran players. (ie. there are no team positional needs)
  • You may however give positional impact preference. For example a really good OT can outweigh a more talented RB or inside LBer because of the positional impact in the modern game combined with the average longevity of the position. This is subjective so use your own criteria for positional impact.
  • You may factor in risk. If you think the most talented player is only 65% likely to meet expectations then you can grade him lower than a less talented player that has less risk.
  • You may put a lower impact position at the top of your board if you feel he is the best overall draft prospect. Again subjective, if you feel the best prospect is an All-around athlete that doesnt have a defined position then list him on your board. (eg. if you think HoFer Devin Hester is in the draft class then feel free to include him in your top 10).
  • You may edit your board as much as you like up until Draft Day. Please only create one board and edit it as needed.
  • You may add comments for each player if you like and you may add personal comments (eg. do you feel they would be a good fit for the Saints?)

You should also indicate likely player ceiling with the following tags...
  • HoF = You expect the player to be a semifinalist for HoF voting within 15 years of retirement.
  • AP = You anticipate the player will at least once be an All-Pro
  • PB = You anticipate that the player should make at least one Pro Bowl appearance
  • QS = You anticipate the player can be a Quality Starter on most teams with an expectation of 34+ starts in the next 4 seasons. (allowing for depth ahead of him and time to master his position and the team system and some latitude for injury)
  • BorB = A high Boom or Bust player but you expect the likelihood of Boom is significantly higher than the likelihood of Bust.
  • You can create your own tags but I would imagine each player in the top 10 is at least a QS. You can use a tier system if you want . Tier-1, Tier-1B, Tier-2, Tier-2B, Tier-2C, etc.
For certain positions (if you are aware) please indicate scheme flexibility and fit as well. For example, MIKE, WILL, SAM, 3-Tech, 1-Tech, 5-Tech, Boundary Corner, Zone Corner, Slot Corner, Slot receivers, X, Y, Z, however you want to define it.

Indicate Red Flags or Risk factors that you think might impact his availability in year one or may impact his health/risk level over the next 4 seasons. You may also include a footnote section on why you excluded certain players from your top 10 board.

Do you think the draft class is stronger than the 2019 Draft Class?

I will try to create a weighted Draft consensus board sometime in mid to late April tallying up all the tags and ordered preferences.

Also indicate if you want to receive a for-fun grade in 2030. If you indicate so, I will use Pro-football References career wAV (weighted approximate value) after 5 seasons.
2019 Draft Class (so far)...

1. Kyler Murray [69]
2. A.J. Brown [66]
3. Nick Bosa [57]
4. Maxx Crosby [54]
5. Quinnen Williams [51]
6. Jeffery Simmons [51]
7. Josh Jacobs [51]
8. D.K. Metcalf [51]
9. Dexter Lawrence [50]
10. Deebo Samuel [47]

Sorry not top 10 but top tiers from me

Tier 1 - Abdul Carter, Travis Hunter Ashton Jeanty….Elite - All AP no HoF

Tier 2 - Jahdee Barron, Mike Green, James Pearce, Cam Ward, jihaad Campbell….Great - Green could be AP and Maybe Pearce, the others PB

Tier 3 - Omarion Hampton, Tyler Warren, Colton Loveland, Mason Graham, Will Campbell (as a guard), Malachi Starks, Treveyon Henderson, Walter Nolan, Sharon Revel….very good - all potential PB

Wildcard - Elijah Arroyo. PB in the right scheme with the right coach and QB

All the rest feel like day 2 to me inc T-Mac….
Just my take we will see in 3 yrs time
