With the 2023 NFL draft arriving in two days, it’s time to unveil the CowboysWire’s top 100 big board for the year’s class. To create this list, I spent hundreds of hours evaluating game tape, analyzing stats and considering a range of factors including health, off the field issues, age, and other factors to come up with the most comprehensive ranking possible. This year, I studied 234 players, seeking out the top talents in the upcoming draft class.
Our big board is created as a league-wide list, without taking into account scheme fit for the Cowboys or team-specific needs. Instead, I decided to focus on the individual player skills, versatility, and overall potential in the NFL. It’s important to note that while our big board represents the best talent available, some prospects may be drafted higher or lower than their individual ranking due to positional value or team needs.
Without further ado, let’s dive into CowboysWire’s top 100 big board for the 2023 NFL draft.
