Nick's 2010 NFL Draft Top 50 Big Board

[Nick]

The mock draft is done, but I felt as if I wanted to post my big board as well.

My mock draft is based more upon what I believe will happen, based upon things I hear and read. Since I'm clearly not an NFL insider, I consult a number of other sources to try and get a sense of a prospect's draft stock in an effort to try and make my mock as accurate as possible.

However, as is the case with other fans, my personal feelings and views of a player are often a bit different than the NFL's and what I see elsewhere. So the big board below represents my attempt, subjective and limited as it may be, to rank the top fifty players available in this draft class.

For the sake of brevity, I elected not to provide any description, but would be happy to answer specific questions and would welcome any feedback.

Of the 32 picks in the first round, only four of them were ranked outside my Top 32. Not too shabby.

Do according to the big board. We picked Saffold exactly where he should have went!
