Now that the Combine is over and we are about half way through with schools' official Pro Days, most "Big Boards" are seeing significant changes. The SKOHRboard Top 40 is no different. 40 has become a number so correlated to the Draft that it seems like the perfect cut off for our Big Board. While 32 guys will become first round picks not everyone has the same 32 with first round grades so there are inevitably more guys who warrant consideration here, hence the Top 40. This list is in constant flux and is only my interpretation of the order that the Top 40 players in the draft find themselves in at this moment. I'll post another Big Board before the draft so let me know who you think needs to be higher or lower and why so I can take your points into consideration for the next SKOHRboard Top 40.
