The great thing about the NFL Draft is that everyone has a different opinion about the various prospects. We are no different at Mocking the Draft so expect to see several Big Board articles from our different writers. I have had a fluid Big Board going since right after the 2010 NFL Draft.
Updated 2011 NFL Draft Big Board- Dove’s Take
I wanted to highlight a player that made his debut on my big board, Danny Watkins. Watkins has enjoyed a successful draft process that has pushed his stock sky high. Watkins played tackle at Baylor but is expected to make the move to guard. In recent seasons, interior linemen are getting more and more attention with Mike Iupati getting selected #17 overall by the 49ers in the 2010 NFL Draft. Watkins has the type of skills to develop into a powerful force on the inside of the offensive line.
