It is very rare to get a good look at an NFL teams draft board. However, it appears that a lot of teams are using a value chart which gives a breakdown based on round value. The Value Chart shows what players fit a specific round which helps teams identify if they are reaching for a prospect.
2011 NFL Draft Defensive Value Chart
For example, I have Cameron Heyward as a 1st round defensive lineman so if I were to select him in the 2nd round he would equal great value. This chart would come in handy if a team was looking to address specific needs but would be less valuable to a team that likes to pick the best player available. NFL teams need to utilize two boards in order to be completely organized and ensure they make the right selection. This board is developed after months and months of evaluations and gathering information.
After the jump, you will find my defensive value chart which covers 3 rounds. Check it out and provide some feedback.
