Draft Series: Episode 4 - One and only 'Big Board'

Case closed. This is the undisputed Big Board (w/o commentary). As always I have convictions in my assessments and often times will drift from media group-think. Rarely do I hedge a guy in my Big Board, if I did it would involve the social group-think element.

Caveats:

• As our new-world environment this episode does not include any of the good bits (skill positions). So you'll have to imagine all the T&A in this boring content.
• Just like all Big Boards, this does not equate to draft position. Even less so without offensive skill positions. Rather how I value each player relative to each other... and in some cases their value over typical draft classes.
