Disclaimer for newcomers to the Big Board: This is NOT a mock draft, but a targetted area where I believe the player should fall. In other words, if I feel a player is most likely to be picked in the 14-20 range, my targetted number might be 17th overall.
The Big Board covers the angles for how I believe players will test out at the combine and campus workouts, at post-season bowl games and All-Star games, off the field issues, injury history, the methods and values placed on certain positions, etc. In other words, it is long-range projection.
This is also NOT a ranking of players, how I feel about their ability. This is how I perceive the draft to occur.
Enjoy the four month ride, and let the games begin. To estimate where the Niners will select, I have a strong hunch the team will pick 12th and 15th in this draft (we'll have to see how the final games play out), then 47th, then 78th (Washington forfeits its 2010 3rd rounder for a supplemental pick in 2009, so the difference in between the 2nd and 3rd round is 31 picks).
Final note: It is difficult to know which juniors and eligible sophomores to include in the Big Board. Very few underclassmen have stated their intentions, but the list will surely grow with the ending of each bowl game. I have included declared underclassmen, and ones I feel are leaving.
Questions, agitations, fury (I am ready for the Cal fans) is welcome. I'll be happy to explain my rationale for any player. Any problems with format: Ex: Jimmy Clausen, DT, Western Mississippi, please let me know.
Newcomers want to pay special attention to OTC's comments, as he might be the most informed, non-paid draft expert in the galaxy. If he can build a website, he can do some damage.
Cheers.
