The ratings here reflect the overall ratings compiled by Jeff Risdon and/or Darren Page. On players we both evaluated, the grade is a hybrid of the two and may not match the associated scouting report that is linked.
Dallas Thomas and Justin Pugh are included here even though they might be considered better guard prospects. I did not include Brian Winters, who will appear in the guard ratings. Winters would be the 8th rated tackle here. To qualify for the big board, a player must be scouted in at least two games and/or an All Star setting.
