Multiple Big Boards

[Jumbo075]

There are many Draft Big Boards out there, but let's take a look at 3 of them, and the players clustered around the Cowboys picks on those Boards. For the purpose of this exercise, I am using:

Drafttek 2018 Big Board 3/11/18 - http://drafttek.com/Top-100-NFL-Draft-Prospects-2018.asp

CBS Sports Big Board 3/11/18 - https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/prospect-rankings/

NFL.com Big Board 3/11/18 - http://www.nfl.com/draft/2018/tracker#dt-tabs:dt-by-grade

I am going to list the 10 players surrounding each pick on each of the big boards, and you make the selections

1st Round - Pick 19

Drafttek
15. QB Baker Mayfield, Oklahoma
16. WR Calvin Ridley, Alabama
17. OLB Harold Landry, Boston College
18. WR Courtland Sutton, SMU
19. CB Joshua Jackson, Iowa
20. DT Vita Vea, Washington
21. QB Lamar Jackson, Louisville
22. OT Brian O'Neil, Pittsburgh
23. OT Kolton Miller, UCLA
24. CB Isaiah Oliver, Colorado

CBS Sports
15. DE Ogbonnia Okoronkwo, Oklahoma
16. QB Josh Rosen, UCLA
17. DT Taven Bryan, Florida
18. DT Vita Vea, Washington
19. WR James Washington, Oklahoma State
20. DE Marcus Davenport, UT-San Antonio
21. OT Isaiah Wynn, Georgia
22. QB Sam Darnold, USC
23. DT Da'Ron Payne, Alabama
24. OG Will Hernandez, UT-El Paso

NFL.com
15. LB Rashaan Evans, Alabama
16. SS Ronnie Harrison, Alabama
17. QB Josh Rosen, UCLA
18. LB Leighton Vander Esch, Boise State
19. CB Josh Jackson, Iowa
20. DT Tim Settle, Virginia Tech
21. OLB Harold Landry, Boston College
22. CB Denzel Ward, Ohio State
23. FS Justin Reid, Stanford
24. OT Orlando Brown, Oklahoma

How hard is drafting? Not one player was in the same range on all 3 big boards. What this means is that no matter what the Cowboys do, some will believe they reached, while others will think they got a steal. And this is just the first round...

They'll tend to be more similar as the draft gets closer.

 

[cowboyec]

Harold Landry on 2/3 1st Rd boards.
Rashaan Evans 2/3 2nd Rd boards.

I've bolded/underlined my picks for anyone within these areas. I went three deep; definitely a lack of continuity.

I like what you did here Jumbo. It will be interesting to see the interview lists for who we talk to. Interviews are usually pretty good indicators of actual interests in certain people and positions.

 

[bleachedwheat]

Everyone says CBS big board has gone down hill. It definitely has but after looking at these Draftek's board is just embarrassing in comparison. How are Vander Esch and Price in the third round? Way to low. Ballage is to high and so is Litton. In the second they have Evans falling to 51 not gonna happen and Kyzir White is to high, I like the player and would draft him but he has fallen to the 4th round after his combine performance.

Might as well just throw the CBS board out...unfortunately they are no longer a reliable source of draft news

 

[blueblood70]

Josh Jackson, who is he? and on the one board Vea was available and we pass, i doubt that

 

[Sandyf]

Great exercise but will be much better about 2nd week in April after all the Pro Days and player visits.
