Pre-Combine Consensus 350 Big Board

[Note by JasonB, 02/20/12 7:31 AM EST ] Great resource from Dirty Waters here

There are so many Draft websites and sources of information available and everyone has their favorites, myself included. I generally like to form my own opinions, so I don't look at any of these sources individually as gospel. However, I found that collectively they make for a pretty decent starting point. I usually put these together to use as a reference point 4 times a year: 1) Preseason 2) Postseason/Pre-Combine 3) Post-Combine/Pre-Pro Days 4) Final Pre-Draft. The following is the 2nd version for the 2012 draft class and I will be happy to share the 3rd and 4th as well if interested. The following Consensus Big Board is the average overall player rankings, sans kickers/punters, from 16 different NFL draft websites that I have found to be fairly in depth and reliable in their draft analysis...National Football Post, NFL Draft Scout, Drafttek, ESPN, Walterfootball, SI, etc. The top 150 are compiled from all 16 sources and players ranked 151-350 are tallied from the 7 sources that provide extended rankings. The Big Board is in order by overall rank, but also lists each player's positional ranking (P#), school, NFL positions (P1,P2), and I also added a High-Low column that gives you the full variance of opinion for each player..i.e Vontaze Burfict's High-Low is 13-111. Some of the positions listed are pretty self explanatory, but to clarify: WRS = speed receiver, WRP = possession receiver, RBC = speed or change of pace back, ROT = right tackle only, 34DE / 34LB / NT = 3-4 defense, and conversely, OLB / DE / DT = 4-3 defense. Keep in mind that the positional ranking can be misleading...i.e. Bobbie Massie is listed as the #1 ROT, but all the OTs listed ahead of him could also play RT...same goes for Nick Toon as the #1 WRP....you get the point.

11-350 after the jump...
