A quick gauge of consensus

[patchick]

In case you haven't seen it, TheDraftNetwork.com has a nice little feature of side-by-side positional rankings by five different analysts. I find it helpful for getting a sense of how much consensus there is in ratings of a particular player--and how much you can rely on his slot in a particular big board.

For example, for interior DL there seems to be real consensus about a "big 4" of Williams, Oliver, Simmons and Wilkins. And after that, no agreement whatsoever:

We should all put in our top 5 or 10. I'd be curious to crowd source PatsFans for scouting. I'll let to get to mine later if my on call doesn't interfere.

How does Zach Allen not get a single top ten vote?

It's also worth noting that these haven't been updated since before the Combine.

I had noticed that as well.

Yep, definitely frustrating, that. E.g. I doubt Deatrich Wise's little bro still makes anybody's top 10 after a rough Combine.

Regarding DE rankings, the top 6 - and all of them very likely gone before 32 - appear fairly well-established: Bosa, Josh Allen, Rashan Gary, Monty Sweat, Clelin Ferrell & Brian Burns. Things become interesting after them, however. I wouldn't consider any of the rest until 56.

Except Deatrich Wise's.
