Nolan Nawrocki at PFW has put out his first draft value chart:

NFL Draft - NFL draft preview and analysis from Pro Football Weekly

He lists prospects by round projected and within the round by early (A), middle (B) and late (C). Some of his interesting picks:

- BJ Raji as a mid-1st rounder
- William Beatty as a late 2nd round pick (after Jamon Meredith)
- Connor Barwin as a mid 3rd round, after Lawrence Sidbury and Paul Kruger (mid 2nd round picks)
- Jarren Gilbert as a mid 3rd round pick
- Brian Robiskie as a late 1st round pick and Hakeem Nicks as a mid 2nd round pick
- Mohammed Massaquoi and Louis Murphy as 2nd round WRs
- Jason Williams as a late 5th round pick
- Larry English as a mid 2nd round pick
- Sean Smith as an early 3rd round pick
- James Casey as a late 3rd round pick

It definitely is interesting where some "experts" are picking some of the more popular players on these boards.

I think as fans, we do get infatuated with particular players for whatever reason and the more they are mentioned around the forum the more their value is perceived to increase (i.e. group think). Will be fascinating to see where they end up.

This board is going to explode in exasperation when Barwin "falls" to the 2nd or 3rd round.

Mav, please don't turn this into another Barwin thread. That wasn't the intent. If you ignore the Barwin pick, wouldn't you say that listing Beatty as a late 2nd round pick, Gilbert as a mid 3rd rounder, Sean Smith as an early 3rd round guy, Raji as a mid 1st round pick, Hakeem Nicks as a mid 2nd round pick, etc. is a bit unusual and worth of discussion? Nawrocki seems to have some rather strong idiosyncratic views on a number of players. As he is not a lightweight and has some respect on this board (from me, among others), I thought his views were worthy of highlighting.

He will end up being a mid to high 2nd rounder.And actually that won't be falling.

My hope is that we can get him with 47 or even 34.

You send in complaints about people being rude to you, but you never hesitate stir the pot on every opportunity.

When you have such a huge group of players that grade out this close to each other, it all comes down to what players each team projects as working in their system.

In a draft like this is it possible to hang a late third round grade on a player and see a team draft him in the late first and vice versa.
