Kelley Peter’s NFL Draft Top 50 Big Board with Player Comps

We made it. Draft Day. Let’s goooo! Below is my final Top 50 Big Board with player comps for every player. Positional value was factored in, as it should be on any big board. Harrison and Nabers are probably the best at their position in this class, but in no world should they be considered over franchise QB prospects like Drake Maye and Caleb Williams. As for the player comps, no comp is perfect, but I find it a fun exercise to compare the play style of each prospect to an NFL counterpart. As I went further down the Top 50, the NFL comparisons got worse (obviously), but every comp I listed is at least a solid starting player. Will all 50 prospects live up to their comp? Of course not. Will some exceed theirs? Certainly. But factoring in size, athleticism, and play style, I think a lot of these comps play similarly on the field. As always, let me know what prospects I have ranked too high or too low, and if you have a comp you like better. Most of the top 30ish guys I have discussed in either my Round 1 Mock, my Bengals mock, or my Top 5 by Position article, but hit me up if you have questions on any particular player. Today is the day. Good luck and good drafting! The Chicago Bears are on the clock…
