Over the past week or so, I’ve been putting the final touches around the site in regard to the 2012 NFL Draft. We’ve wrapped up the SB Nation mock draft and posted a load of player quick reports in addition to several scouting reports. The final player rankings by position are now finished.

These haven’t been updated since the middle of February, so some dust had to be blown off. Still, if you’ve been a part of this site (which for that I thank you), these rankings aren’t incredibly outlandish. Tomorrow we’ll have a top 200 to mull over and some other goodies. So click through to the below for our positional rankings and let me know what you think.

QB | RB | FB | WR | TE | OT | G | C | DE | 3-4 DE | DT | 3-4 NT | OLB | MLB | CB | FS | SS
