The NFL draft is rapidly approaching and it’s time to start wrapping up final evaluations on each prospect and provide some position rankings.
Over the last couple of months, I have studied and graded over 150 players in total. This has been a tedious yet exciting process, but it’s time to peel back the curtain a little bit on my entire operation.
For starters, in order to do a proper evaluation, I watch a minimum of three games for each prospect before coming up with my opinions/grades.
However, more often than not, I watched at least five or six contests for each prospect before doing my evaluations. Unfortunately, there were some cases where I had trouble getting certain all-22 tapes, therefore, I had to make do with what I had.
I essentially individually evaluated each game that I watched, and then I averaged those grades into one final film grade worth a total of 20 points.
Example: blue-chip prospects (90 percent or higher) received anywhere from 18-20 points in all likelihood.
Game tape is the only criterion that is worth 20 points on my grading scale, while other areas, such as analytics, athletic score, ceiling/floor, etc., are worth a maximum of 10 points.
Today, we are looking at my top 10 quarterback prospects, and I’ll work my way around to each position in the days and weeks ahead. I will also be updating these rankings on the morning of the draft (April 27th).
Now, let’s not wait any longer — here are my top 10 quarterbacks.
