The value board below is based on considerable feedback from NFL teams and projects the league value of players, pinpointing a specific area where players likely will be drafted. It is important to note that these values do not reflect where PFW thinks the players should be drafted or what type of pros they will become; that is better reflected in PFW's grades.
Each round is divided into three parts: A (early), B (middle) and C (late). Thus, 2B signifies the middle of the second round. Players may be drafted higher or lower based on team needs and fits within certain schemes. The value board may not list the exact number of players in a round as there are actual selections. In some cases, more players are listed than will be drafted, especially in the last round, because of the very minor difference between late-round draft picks and priority free agents.
This week we have added priority free agents (PFA) at the end of Round Seven. Colors designate which players could be affected by their injury/medical history (red), by character concerns (blue) or by intelligence issues (green). Players affected by multiple concerns are coded in multiple colors. Some arrows were used to indicate players who are gaining momentum in draft meetings or losing steam, regardless of whether we think it is warranted.
