NFL Draft 2013: The Big Board To End All Big Boards

Folks, I like to rank things. I really, really like it. I’d even say I love it, though I don’t think we’re to that point in our relationship first. Maybe if my rankings say it first. No, you hang up.

Sorry, my mind went to a weird place there, but the fact remains: rankings rule. And the NFL Draft provides the perfect opportunity for rankophiles like myself to give in to our ordered indulgences. The only problem is most people stop way too short. I mean, Top 10? Top 50? Top 100? The last time I checked there were 254 draft picks in this year’s draft. That’s 2-5-4. And you’re going to stop after a fraction of that? Get out of here.

I did not stop at some arbitrary, pretty round number. I went the distance. Number 1 to number 254. They may not all here their name get called, but they are THE Top 254 players available in this here draft. So enough with the chit chat. Let’s get on with it!
