My latest Big Board for the 2017 NFL draft is live, and so are my updated position rankings.
Important to note: This is a mix of seniors and underclassmen, but early on, I separate the two so you see more senior players, who are certain to be in the draft. By "underclassmen," I mean players who technically could return to school for another season. Those are true juniors and third-year sophomores. I've denoted the third-year sophomores with asterisks.
Quarterbacks
Seniors
1. Chad Kelly, Mississippi
2. C.J. Beathard, Iowa
3. Seth Russell, Baylor
4. Cooper Rush, Central Michigan
5. Davis Webb, California
Underclassmen
1. Deshaun Watson, Clemson
2. *DeShone Kizer, Notre Dame
3. Brad Kaaya, Miami (Fla.)
4. Mason Rudolph, Oklahoma State
5. Jerod Evans, Virginia Tech
Kizer, a third-year sophomore, has moved into my Big Board. He's young, but his talent pops on tape. Mason Rudolph has a big arm and a ton of experience in the Big 12. He has 13 touchdowns passes and just two interceptions for the Cowboys this season.
