We’re days away from the start of the 2023 NFL draft, so it’s time to release my final position rankings.
This entire pre-draft process is an exciting, yet frustrating time that is filled with uncertainty. Everyone has their own opinions as to what they believe is best for their team.
Over the last few months, I’ve been doing everything possible to come up with my own educated opinion on several different prospects
I have taken the time to individually evaluate over 150 players in total. This process includes me grading a minimum of three games for each prospect before coming up with my opinions/grades.
More often than not, I would watch at least five or six contests for each prospect before doing an evaluation. Sadly, there were some cases where I had trouble getting certain all-22 tapes, so I had to work with what I had.
The way my grading system works is I would evaluate each game that I watched individually, and then I averaged those grades into one final film grade worth a total of 20 points.
Example: blue-chip prospects (90 percent or higher) received anywhere from 18-20 points in all likelihood.
Game tape is the only criterion that is worth 20 points on my grading scale, while other areas, such as analytics, athletic score, ceiling/floor, etc., are worth a maximum of 10 points.
This article is going to list my 10 highest-graded prospects at each position outside of the safeties. Unfortunately, that was the only position on either side of the ball where I didn’t get enough evaluations done in time to adequately create a top 10.
Nevertheless, these rankings have had several notable changes throughout the last few weeks/months, so let’s find out where everyone landed in my final positional rankings ahead of the 2023 NFL Draft.
