Blinkscout 2023 Top 2 rounds ...

Welcome to my final list of the year ... thank you all for reading and all your kind words throughout the post season process.
I made this list earlier than normal to try to steer clear of "last minute" draft garbage that happens every year ... and also because I've become almost adult-ish with my time management. *knocks wood
As per all my grades I'm grading players being played at their best position and in their best situation. I'm not guessing where they will be picked, just where I have them.
As a note this year I delineated top 5 from top 10 because this year has zero top 5 players IMO.
There will be players on this list that go way higher than I have them and likely a few that go undrafted (happens every year, I'm looking at you Isaiah Moore) ...
I numbered them this year, and now I have no idea why I haven't done that before.
I'll also put up one from last year at some point and likely one from many years ago at some point ...as a weird note ... for some reason the Giants generally pick the most players from this list. Curious to see if that trend continues.
If you want to see my positional lists, go to the search bar and type in "Blinkscout 2023" and the list should pop up. For prospect details, Deadpool's Big Board is my go to. Please forgive me on misspelled names ...
79 Players this year, which is the least I think I've ever had on this. The big swell is in rounds 3-4 this year, so whichever team goes to that well at the end of the draft should come away with a really healthy roster. Also thought it was interesting that we have 3 picks in the first 77 and there are 79. I will be upset with the draft if they pick someone not on this list in their first three picks. Maybe not if they just missed, but ideally we need 3 of these guys.
I think I've honestly talked so much this year about prospects that I don't need to italicize my targets.
