The rule change that will move KOs to the 35-yard line whenever the NFL resumes play could have a minor impact on the draft grade of LSU CB Pat Peterson. Peterson, who also is a top return man, is considered by many to be the best available player in this year’s draft, but a CB has never been the first player selected - or even taken second overall - in the modern era. There had been some speculation that Peterson’s return abilities could just make him that corner so the rule change isn’t going to help... We'll be doing a full update of the GBN Big Board in a few days, but for now it seems pretty clear that Alabama WR Julio Jones has cracked the top 10 on most boards around the league these days and that USC OT Tyron Smith is close. Meanwhile, Nebraska CB Prince Amukamara is likely slipping which could be good news for Houston and/or Detroit which pick 11th and 13th respectively and both need help on the corner. Another player on the rise is Pitt DE Jabaal Sheard, who reportedly could get some late-first round consideration, while WRs Titus Young of Boise State and Pitt's Jon Baldwin could be sliping into the latter part of the seond round.
