Let’s post our Big Boards before the draft happens.

This way we can all look back to see who we got right and who we got wrong in terms of talent valuation.

Should be a fun thread to look np ack when it is said and done.

Below’s mine.

I probably value upsides more than most people and I penalize glaring hard to fix deficiencies more than most too.

Topic, Dillingham, Buzelis, Knecht I just don’t see it at all and are really low on my board.

I like Carrington, Ware, Smith, Klintman quite a bit more than most, and they’ve moved up higher than most boards.

1. Castle
2. Risarcher
3. Reed
4. Sarr
5. Williams
6. Clingan
7. Holland
8. Carter
9. Salaun
10. Carrington
11. Ware
12. Smith
13. Walter
14. Edey
15. Tyson
16. Klintman
17. Collier
18. McCain
19. Dillingham
20. Holmes
21. Buzelis
22. Topic
23. Knecht
24. Da Silva
25. Fillipowski
26. Missi
27. Dadiet
28. George
29. McCullar
30. Dunnn
 
This will be fun to go back and see in a couple years. This draft in particular will probably have us all over the place compared to most years when there is more of a consensus for the top half of the draft with guys in pretty clear tiers.
 
If I were to do a Top 20 right now, it would probably look like this --
Sarr
Williams
Risacher
Salaun
Sheppard
Holland
Buzelis
Knecht
Clingan
Castle
Collier
Carter
Carrington
George
Walter

T. Smith
Topic (post-injury)
Filipowski
Ware
AJ Johnson maybe

I honestly don't know what to do with Edey.
I haven't watched Holmes enough. He could be en vogue after what Naz Reid did this year.

It can be just the top 20 if 30 is too much.
