Blinkscout 2022 Top 2 rounds ... (top 91 players)

This is the most important draft post (for me) that I do every year. To note, there are 64 players drafted in the first two rounds, but I give every player their "best fit" grade, as if the perfect team drafted them, so there are always between 80-95 players.

This year, of course, is "which of these makes it to 104 and 142?

Every year there are guys drafted in the first round that aren't on this list and guys on this list that go undrafted.

For some reason, I think the Giants peek at this, because they tend to pick guys off this list every year. No idea why.

This year showcases a LOT of 20-40 talent and just about as much 40-64 talent with the rare 20 for 20 in the top 20 picks. This is as close to a "big board" as I come to.
Last year Creed Humphrey was in the 20-40 range around #36 ... Tutu was not on the board. Bobby Brown was #85 in the 40-64 range.

I'll italicize the few guys that have the rare combo of "maybe being available" and being targets.

2022 First 2 Rounds 91 total.

Thanks for dealing with my rapid unloading the last few days ... this year was tougher to track down info I needed and so everything took longer. Questions and comments welcome ... I'll repost the updated (crossed off) list each day on this thread ...

Here's to a good first night y'all. May our opponents make stupid decisions.
