Below you will find my top prospects at every position for the 2017 NFL draft. The number of players below far surpasses the total number of players who will be drafted; there are only 253 picks, but I have more than 750 prospects ranked.
What I have done, however, is list every player I can see as either being drafted or making a roster or practice squad. It's important to remember that only a sliver of players on NFL rosters were drafted, and undrafted players take up a significant chunk of 53-man squads.
Reminder: Not all prospects will end up at the positions in which they are listed here. Some defensive ends will end up listed at outside linebacker, some tackles will become guards, and so on. With that in mind, check out my full rankings below.
Note: Ohio State cornerback Gareon Conley has been accused by a woman of raping her in a Cleveland hotel earlier this month. He has not been arrested nor have charges been filed against him as Cleveland police investigate the allegations. He called the claim "completely false" in a statement sent to ESPN. But because of the uncertainty around Conley's status, I have moved him from down in my Big Board and position rankings. I'm not sure a team will draft him if there is no clarity regarding the allegation.
