Rang's final big board

Big Board: Pitt penetrator Donald reaches No. 7 as steadiest riser - CBSSports.com - NFLDraftScout.com

Good read and some pretty interesting ranking numbers like Hageman @ 46.

Personal favorites Shazier, Latimer and Bitonio all soaring, of course. Ah well, I'd already made my peace with Shazier being long gone. I don't think I believe in the Hageman slide, though.

Wow, WR Kelvin Benjamin dropping like a rock to the 70's. I'd still be all over him if he was there for us in the 2nd round.

Ouch, Shazier at #15. My dreams are over. I was thinking earlier today he might go top 12 but didn't post it because I thought I would be laughed at. Now I don't seem so far off :/ Here's to hoping for a fall!

He seems to be a unique player in this draft. Figure in no red flags, and it's not hard to imagine him going inside the top 20.

Keep in mind, this is big board, not mock draft. So your player still could slide in actual draft.

By the way, Rob Rang's mock draft is not very accurate historically. But I really like his player rankings.

True enough, and in years past a player like Shazier could easily have slid because his position wasn't valued highly, or he was considered a "tweener." But his skill set matches up perfectly with the current state of NFL offenses, and I think a ton of teams could use him.

I totally agree. I look at his mocks and just don't get the picks a lot of the time. However when I view a prospects tape I form my own opinion and then go read what others have to say to see if I'm on an island or in the consensus. A lot of the time I agree with Rang and he'll point out some things that I'll think yes I noticed that but didn't process it into my evaluation.

TE's dropping like rocks!!!

For good reason. After Ebron, I don't see a starter in the draft. In last years draft, I doubt anyone other than Ebron would have gone in the first three rounds.

Depends on ASJ's head. The physical tools are there and he has better hands and is a better blocker when he wants to be than Ebron. The question is if he's going to have the attitude and work ethic.

Neither do I but i was very surprised to see how far ASJ and Jace Amaro dropped. Figured they would be at least high 2nds
