An explanation on the rankings: Realistically, there are only ten or 15 guys that I would stand on a table for as far as legitimate first-round talents, but someone has to be selected. There are 32 spots and there are 50 guys that could be in the conversation for those selections. I also believe in taking a glass half full mindset and my rankings reflect that.
When evaluating each prospect, I try to find the highest point that I can justify the selection occurring and that is why you will see 20 quarterbacks with a draftable grade, but there may only be ten selected.
