2021 NFL Draft Prospects - Initial ranks!
It sounds like the Jets may already be tanking, so let’s see who they might be able to choose!
These charts are filterable. Click a state to see the only those prospects, or check out prospects within a particular conference. Feel free to maximize the charts using the button on the lower right.
Here’s another chart showing the individual prospects and their change in rank over time so far:
I started getting ranks on June 27, 2020, and the most recent ranks are from mid-October. Here is a chart showing how each player’s rank has changed during this time.
The rough methodology used for the Leagify charts is this: Each prospect is given a point value based on their current rank, which is given regardless of position (“Big Board” style).
Rank values:
- 01 - 10 : 35 points
- 11 - 25 : 30 points
- 26 - 35 : 25 points
- 36 - 59 : 20 points
- 60 - 70 : 15 points
- 71 - 100 : 10 points
- 101 - 120 : 8 points
- 121 - 150 : 7 points
- 151 - 180 : 6 points
- 181 - 250 : 5 points
- 251 - 300 : 2 points
- 301 - 500 : 1 point
These big board rankings came from DraftTek’s Big Board, which started posting 2020 prospect information in May, and the most current rankings are from October 13th. Only the value of the player’s primary position was considered.
The data is scraped, cleaned, and mushed together with a variety of code, which is available here for viewing, if you’re into that sort of thing.
