If you have any issues accessing the site or would like to see my big board in a more linear form, then let me know and I'll write it down for you.
Some Notes to help you understand the board.
1.
As you can see, I've broken it down into types of prospect rather than by round. I prefer this way of looking at prospects and how they project to the team. Here's how I interpret these 'categories'.
Starter Plus - Will become one of the better players in the league, not just the team. Worth trading up for. (Would trade up in first round for)
Starter - Should start early in first season. Guaranteed long-term starter that will be hard to replace. (1st Round)
Circumstantial starter - Same as starter but something is holding me back from giving that prospect that grade (1st round but would prefer to trade back for)
Make It Plus - Might not be a plug and play starter year one, but these prospects will be the core of the team over the coming years. Also includes quality, hard to replace, role players (2nd to mid 3rd round)
Dirty Starter - same as circumstantial starter. I don't have the confidence level to give them a make it plus grade but they're more than just backups. (Late 3rd to 4th round)
Make It - Backups , lesser role players and special teamers. (Day 3)
UDFA - Will struggle to make roster but I still like them more than most UDFA's. (Round 7-UDFA)
2.
As you can see, there are some coloured tags on each prospect. Here's what they mean.
You'll see some clustering of similar prospects, particularly in the make it plus category. In particular I have Stephone Anthony, Paul Dawson and Eric Kendricks clustered together as I have Ronald Darby and PJ Williams clustered together. With these prospects, I can't choose between them and don't have strong feelings for one over the other.
4.
The 'make it plus' and 'make it' categories are scrollable. They extend past the bottom of the page.
Please let me know your thoughts on the board and also the format I've used. I'm really interested to know what people think.

- Blue - Good Patriots fit (film buff, athleticism, captain, character etc)
- Green - Binky alert. One of my favourite prospects
- Yellow - These prospects intrigue or interest me but haven't made it to binky status.
- Red - Red flag for injury, character.
- Orange - Can see the Patriots drafting these prospects and I'm not sure how I feel about that.
