Does anyone know which Big Board I should be using? Is there a general consensus on this?

Just curious...

I use NFL Draft Scout last updated 04/17/18. They seem to be the most realistic of all that I've used.

Yeah, I just used the CBS one near the top and it had James Washington go to the Jets at 3rd overall. I was like: nope. Time to start over.

Alright...so using NFL Draft Scout this is what I was able to pull:

19: R1P19

WR DJ MOORE
MARYLAND
50: R2P18

G AUSTIN CORBETT
NEVADA
81: R3P17

S JESSIE BATES III
WAKE FOREST
116: R4P16

LB GENARD AVERY
MEMPHIS
137: R4P37

S KYZIR WHITE
WEST VIRGINIA
171: R5P34

FB DIMITRI FLOWERS
OKLAHOMA
192: R6P18

DL P. J. HALL
SAM HOUSTON STATE
193: R6P19

RB ITO SMITH

I just did one using NFL Draft Scout (difficult function instead of classic). I don't know how realistic it is because no one really knows how the teams have the players ranked. However, it seemed pretty accurate based on the projections that I am seeing. Here is how my draft went:

1 - Clavin Ridley (WR)
2 - Billy Price (G)
3 - Josey Jewell (LB)
4 - Tim Settle (DT)
4 - Royce Freeman (RB)
5 - Jack Cichy (LB)
6 - Daurice Fountain (WR)
6 - Desmond Harrison (OT)
6 - P J Hall (DT)
7 - Logan Woodside (QB)

Only position that I had trouble filling was FS. Maybe try to work out a deal with Tre Boston.

I've been using nfl draft countdown for a while although they haven't updated in a while. This was mainly due to being disappointed as to how unbelievable the boards have been. I'll try NFL Draft scout today.

Using the same parameters, mine is above yours.

I like it other than Genard Avery (LB). I don't know who he is. I will have to do some research on him. This is the reason I like these simulated mock drafts. They help you get to know some of the players that you may have never heard of. I started to take Ryan Izzo in the 7th round but went with a QB instead. I was also looking at Ito Smith but I had already drafted Royce Freeman.

I've been using composite. If it is what the name sounds like it's all of the big boards somehow merged together.

Genard is definitely a guy you are going to want to get to know.

I've used that one. The problem is, some of those boards are so off, I wonder how much it impacts the final product. For instance, like I said in a response above, CBS had James Washington WR go to the Jets at 3rd overall. As soon as I saw that I knew it was time to start over.

Using the same parameters, mine is above yours.

I just briefly looked at Genard Avery. He played all 4 years at Memphis. His last 3 years he had 39.5 tackles for loss. He had 21.5 sacks in his career. His stats are very impressive. Then I looked at his combine numbers. The guy is huge. He is 6'01" and 248 lbs but still ran a 4.59 forty. He has a better vertical and broad jump than Calvin Ridley and his 3 cone and 20 yd shuttle is just about even with Ridley. Looks like a good guy to get with our comp pick in the 4th round. Thanks for opening my eyes to this guy.

Try Matt Millers BR, with the difficult setting.
Then tell me what you come up with going:
1. LB
2. OG
3. Safety
4. WR
5. Your choice

I got:
1. LVE (which I fear)
2. Braden Smith
3 T. Moore
4.Anothony Miller
5. LB Kiser

 

[NeonNinja]

Matt Miller, IMO.

Does anyone know which Big Board I should be using? Is there a general consensus on this?

Just curious...

I prefer to use the Composite board myself as I feel that it's a more accurate representation of the consensus.

I had the same free safety issue in my own recent mock draft.

I would like to try this but just to be clear you are saying I have to take it by position in that order?

Try the composite. I think it averages all of them.
