2017 NFL Draft top 100 big board
By Will Lomas
My top 100…ish 2017 NFL Draft prospects.
It is done. I just finished looking over it and making sure I was happy with where everyone was, but now it is finished. With the Tennessee Titans just a handful of hours away from drafting someone, here is my finalized big board for the 2017 NFL Draft.
I didn’t go crazy and work all the way to 200 because I don’t want to spend a lot of time on guys who will be cut in a month or guys who will be career backups.

- Tennessee Titans suspiciously quiet about major draft need
- 3 needs that are being overblown by Tennessee Titans fans
- Tennessee Titans must be careful trading down in the 2023 NFL Draft
- Tennessee Titans should only spend their premium draft picks on offense
- Tennessee Titans connections may be crucial for a draft day trade
However, I also had to do more than 100 because there are just some names you have to check out.
So, here is how this is going to work. I am going to divide the prospects by tier regardless of position.
There are 6 tiers, they are:
1. Blue chip freaks
2. First round talent
3. Fringe first round picks
4. 2nd round picks.
5. 3rd round picks
6. 4th round picks
7. Mid Day 3 picks

Try not to think too much about the order of the group. The only time that matters is if a player plays the same position as another.
For example, if you saw Corey Davis and Marshon Lattimore in the same group, don’t worry about who comes first. I would take both with 1st round picks.
However, if you see Marshon Lattimore and Gareon Conley in the same group, then it matters who came first.
There are also things you need to note. If you see an (Inj) by a person’s name, it means they have an injury. You will also notice a (C) which is a character issue.
My grading happens before either of these concerns, just off of the games I watched. However, it is something that will affect where they are drafted.
I also don’t grade quarterbacks.
They are their own position and honestly I am not very good at it. I can tell you that my top guys in order are:
1. Deshaun Watson
2. Mitch Trubisky
3. Patrick Mahomes
4. DeShone Kizer
And I can also tell you that I wouldn’t take any QB other than those guys in the top two rounds. Even then, I think there will only be one average to above average starter in that group if they are lucky.

So that is it. Those are all the people I have looked at to this point and that is the way my board sits now.
If you have any questions or comments let me know, I am sure your favorite player is too low and I am biased against one school or another. If that is true go ahead and reach out and find me on twitter.
