I grew up in a big football family and as I grew older, I developed a love for the back end of the game. The offseason, free agency, and the draft I found had all the same excitement as the game itself. In 2017, I started to dive into the NFL draft as a hobby, utilizing small resources to scout NFL draft prospects. In 2020, I decided to step up my game by scouting over 200 NFL draft prospects and sharing my thoughts and opinions with others starting with the 2021 NFL Draft. This hobby is something I find joy in, and it allows me to learn more and more about the game. I do not pretend to be some savant, I am only a fan whose trying to learn, grow, and through out his opinions all over the internet just like we all do.
The 2024 NFL Draft is officially here. Below you will find my finalized weighted big board for the 2024 NFL Draft. My big board is comprised of all positions outside of special teams and the finalized grades are produced with positional value in mind. Those who play premium positions receive a boost and those who play positions the NFL has undervalued receive a reduction with variance between each position and their value to teams in the modern game. To view my thoughts on the players, please check out the position tabs.
