How the board is graded
The Parlae Desk's mock draft: our projection, updated every Tuesday.
- The order is the standings as they stand today, worst record first.
- Each team's needs come from its own numbers: passer rating, yards a carry, sacks for and against, run and pass defense, takeaways, and the snap shares on our depth charts.
- The board ranks every draft-eligible junior and senior in major college football by this season's production at his position, with credit for a Power Four schedule; each position starts from a ceiling that reflects how early the league drafts it.
- Each team takes the prospect with the best grade once its biggest needs are counted. Offensive linemen leave no individual line in a box score, so they are not on the board.
Nothing here is a scouting report. Every stat is from the games played; the order of the board and the fit of a prospect to a team are our projection and change as the season does.
