Drew Boylhart spends many hours watching game tapes of college football. He ranks players based on talent displayed on the field and how it may translate to the NFL. Drew use his evaluations of each prospect to place them on the Talent Board according to the round in which that player’s talent warrants. This board does not try to predict where the player will be drafted. What it does tell you is how successful Drew thinks that player will be in the NFL over his career, considering it may take a player 2-3 years to measure up to that potential.
