A for effort!

A for effort!

Thanks!

May want to save that though till we get to around #350 on Tuesday.

[Mr. Miyagi]

F for ****** awesome!

F for ****** awesome!

Thank you, I just did the Math (because Im slow like that) and by draft day (next Thursday), Im going to have released 400 names...I have 500.

So I guess on draft day (because I love you all) Ill be releasing 150 names to get to 500 instead of just 50.

But in the end you will have a 500 name big board from me, along with positional rankings, and X-Era's Draft Guide.

[CleveSteve]

Hard to argue too much with your list! I'm not quite as high on Miller and Solder as you are.

I like you going out on a limb for Ellis! He looks to be a good one for sure!

Personally, I like Heyward more than Clayborn, but I am probably biased and wouldn't be able to tell if I were :)

I'm kind of surprised you still have Greg Jones in the top-50. His stock has dropped quite a bit with most sources online.

Anyways, thanks for shaking it up and I look forward to more.

Not being mean or anything but after the Top 150 I doubt many people know the players names or care very much.

I care. At least it gives me something to think about in terms of what positions we might be taking.

Not being mean or anything but after the Top 150 I doubt many people know the players names or care very much.

No offense taken, I go beyond 150 or even 250 for two reasons.

1. The Bills and many teams don't share my board (sadly) so I have to over rank the amount of players to try and ensure every draft pick that is made falls on my board somewhere. This doesnt always happen though.

2. I want to account for any and all UDFA's as well, so that when Buffalo signs QB Blake Bolles, people can go to my rankings and see he played at DII Northwest Missouri State and was my #28 ranked QB, and #412 on my Big Board.

Does Brandon Fusco crack the Big Board?

Good work on the first 50!

[Dying_-2-_Live]

mallett and greg jones should be a little higher

He does, he's not in top 100, but he is in the top 150. He's my #3 Center.

Do you believe he will get drafted and if so in what round?

Absolutely do, thinking Round 4 or 5. So early on Saturday.

[THATHURMANATOR]

Very Cool! Any other Rockets on the top 500?

Wow
Mallett...all the talent in the world and he pisses it away

[k-oneputt]

Mallett is going to the Dolphins.

Thought you didn't like V. miller and you have him #5. ?

[FlyingDutchman]

This is a good board. I actually agree with you on where you have Green, and not too many people have that or would agree. Same with Newton and Gabbert. Good job

[Dr. Lecter]

Good job.

Although having Mallet ahead of Ponder is worth a punch to the head.

You realize what a Big Board is, why do you ask questions you know the answer to already?

[DraftBoy]

You REALLY won't like my 51-100 rankings then!

[Ed]

Can I be on your big board?

[DraftBoy]

Can I be on your big board?

Sure I think I can find a place for you around #1124, never mind that it stops at 500. That's just for show.

Just put me at 501. That would be pretty accurate.

Great job!

As I went through I found only a few spots where I had something different.

Love where you put Hankerson... I struggled with putting him where I put him on my board in the Draft Guide. But I really think he should be the 3rd WR taken... I'm sticking to my guns.

Again, looks great.

[X-Era]

I need one too! I honestly have 0 Slippery Rock Gear!I'm praying that we draft him.

The thought of getting a legit jersey with Fusco on the back is bad ass.

Step one is for us to draft him. Step two is for them to actually make his jersey... if they didn't I'd have to go custom.

[Mahdi]

Very similar to something I would put together. I really like your top 3. After that your ranking of Prince, Julio and Jimmy Smith is spot on IMO. I have those guys ranked higher than many also. I highly doubt Julio and Prince get out of the top 11. Jimmy Smith I had going very early in my mocks because I think he is a pure shut down guy with great size and speed.

I would have Aldon Smith ahead of Cam Jordan though and I think you have Marvin Austin ( who I think can end up the best if not one of the top 2 DTs to come out of this draft) ranked too low.

Overall solid job though!

Overall solid job though!On Julio, I will say it now. I will not be shocked if he is the 1st WR taken. It depends upon how it falls, but I could see it.

Personally, I like him better. Green probably will go first but I won't be shocked if he doesn't.

Hey DB, did you ever scout me at IUP? haha
