The NFL Draft is so close we can taste it. Here is your first look at the Ebony Bird Big Board! Who Will the Baltimore Ravens Take?

I have ranked my top 150 draft prospects. After watching a ton of players, examining measurables and combine results and talking it out with some fellow draft nerds, I have a good feel for this draft class. These rankings are my opinion. Some players you will see, I agree with the common consensus. There are other parts of the big board that will stray away from popular opinion.

This isn’t intended to be a one stop shop for all your draft information. You can’t make a 2017 NFL Draft handbook, everyone sees things from their own perspective. The only perspectives that really matters at the end of the day is that of the 32 war rooms on Draft day.

The NFL Draft is very work intensive. Here is my honest effort to get you ready for the draft, through my lens. When I look at NFL prospects, something I have been getting more refined at each season, I look for certain things. The first thing I look for is the things that cannot be coached, speed, size, heart and natural explosion. The second thing I look for is production. Finally, I look at technique. The players that check all three boxes are the prospects I present to you today, as my top 25.
