Here we are my big board
for the 2017 NFL Draft. A few things to point out. First off, this isn’t a pure
grade ranking. There are three things that go into the big board grade…
1)
Grade: this is straight forward it’s the grade I
gave each player. Same scale as the positional rankings.
2) Adjusted Grade: This is my grade for the player adjusted for positional value or how I believe the position are valued.

|
FB
|
0.50
|
This
isn’t perfect, but it allows me to adjust the big board for what it should be a
guide to when and where you should value a player.
3) Positional
Standard Deviation: This adjusts for the depth of talent at each position
according to the grades given. A player that outpaces the rest of his group is
going to get a bump.
This leaves us with
the Big Board grade which consists of 20% grade, 50% adjusted grade, and 30%
positional standard deviation. I think this puts it all together in a nice way.
So without further ado here it is…
