Getting things done early this year for a couple of reasons ... first? My time management has reached almost "competent adult" levels. Second? The chatter as we get closer to the draft might have an effect on me and there's simply no new info that will be coming out this month. Third? These tend to get lost the week of the draft. I'll still do my "Top 2 rounds" draft week.
Also, since these get buried quickly, if you want to search for a position group, just put "Blinkscout 2023" in the search bar and they should all come up.
Another note ... defense usually has more players on the lists because of special teams play.
I feel like this is a weak year at the position ... but I somehow don't think guys will be reached for and may still actually slide, as so many of these players are going to be rotational. I noted that we met with one big boy (Martin, 337) and that's not our norm. So I will italicize the guys I think would be good value. Also, Henderson can do a lot with late round guys, so do we even need to draft the position?
I'm trying to be more stringent on my grades, but guys will generally be rated higher by me than others because I imagine them in their best fit.
