The NFL Draft is just weeks away and NFL teams are prepping their draft boards for the big day. Scouts and NFL talent evaluators are currently in the process of attending pro days, but most NFL teams have a good idea of what their plans will be heading into the draft.
With the Senior Bowl and NFL Scouting Combine in the books, PewterReport.com draft analyst Eric Dellaratta has ranked the top 10 prospects at each position. Dellaratta will update these position rankings one more time before the draft begins in late April.
These rankings aren’t necessarily the order in which Dellaratta thinks they will be drafted but instead based on the success he feels the players will have long-term in the NFL.
