2021 NFL Draft Prospects - Two weeks before the draft

It seems like teams are already on the clock, but the draft is still two weeks away. What does the future hold for these young men?

Without further ado, let’s see some charts! These charts are filterable. You can see the values overall, or by conference. It looks best if you maximize the charts using the button on the lower right.

I started getting ranks on June 27, 2020, and the most recent ranks are from April 12, 2021. Here is a chart showing how each player’s rank has changed during this time. This chart is a logarithmic scale, since moving 5 spots in the top 10 is a big deal, but moving 5 spots in the top 400 isn’t.

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.
