This won't get a lot of the discussion this week. For one, it's quite similar to last week -- with the workouts and reports done -- there aren't many changes before the draft. And the final mock draft will be out tomorrow, so keep an eye out for that.
As always, the Big Board is a statement on overall draft value, so it should be kept in context as you evaluate your draft, not as a suggestion of the order of picks, but as a look at overall value based on where those picks are being made. So here we go with the final Board before the actual picks:
