Frequently Asked Questions
The NFL Draft Big Board is a comprehensive ranking of the top prospects for the 2026 NFL Draft. The Big Board ranks players based on scouting evaluations, including positional rankings, athletic traits, and projection grades similar to expert boards such as Mel Kiper Jr's Big Board.
Top prospects include elite talents such as Dante Moore and Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza at QB, Jeremiyah Love at RB, Arvell Reese at LB, and Francis Mauigoa.
Indiana's Fernando Mendoza is widely ranked as the top quarterback prospect for the 2026 NFL Draft.
The 2026 NFL Draft Big Board is updated periodically throughout the pre-draft cycle. These updates reflect grades based on late-season performances, Senior Bowl game evaluations, and NFL Scouting Combine results.
Player grades for the NFL Draft Big Board come from film analysis, athletic traits, positional value, team needs, and scout conversations.
No, a player's college performances are not the sole determining factor behind the placement on the 2026 NFL Draft Big Board. While college production matters, scouts also weigh athletic traits, upside, positional importance, competition level, and long-term NFL projection.
Yes, a player can rise on the NFL Draft Big Board. This is possible on the back of breakout seasons and strong performances against top competition. Impressive Scouting Combine or Pro Day results can also rapidly boost a player's ranking.
Yes. All top prospects on the Big Board typically have scouting notes covering their strengths, weaknesses, and projection traits, similar to Big Boards used by analysts such as Mel Kiper Jr.
No. Rankings on the NFL Draft Big Board reflect potential but not guarantees. Performance, injuries, and/or team strategy can affect draft outcomes.
A Big Board is a ranking of players by talent/value, regardless of team needs. A Mock Draft is a simulation that predicts which players will be drafted by specific teams based on roster requirements and draft order.
'My Watchlist' lets users save draft prospects in one place for quick access and easy comparison. You can add players by clicking the "+" icon next to their name, which adds them to the Watchlist, making it simple to track and evaluate prospects over time.
Note:
This NFL Draft Big Board uses a Year + Class format to reflect both experience and eligibility. The number indicates the total years a player has been in college, including redshirts, medical/injury waivers, or repeat seasons, while the abbreviation shows their current eligibility classification (Fr, So, Jr, Sr).
For example, 3Jr means a third-year college player with junior eligibility, 2Fr is a second-year player still classified as a freshman, and 5Sr denotes a fifth-year (redshirt/super) senior. This system provides clearer context than class labels alone when evaluating development and draft readiness.
