My Big Board

Welcome back to Draft Thursday!  Where next Draft Thursday… will actually be the Draft.  On Thursday.

Try to keep up.

This morning, before Merlin and Adam take you brainstorming in the afternoon, I am continuing an exercise I performed last year, where I take the most intellectually honest road possible and list my basic big board, as a pure draftnik who watches his fair share of tape.

This is how you know my response to the Chiefs’ draft haul, positive or negative, is genuine.

The one guiding rule to the entire board, as I said last year:

"This is not Chiefs-centric. The measure I am using to decipher is as follows: Generally speaking, which players would I prefer over the other players?"

Top 32 here.  The other 192, after the jump.  And check Merlin’s Draft Tek for their big board.
