Hammes: 2019 NFL Draft Positional Rankings
The 2019 NFL Combine has come and gone and the craziness that is free agency has mostly quieted down. In the midst of pro days and official pre-draft visits, the draft process is beginning to really pick up steam as we quickly approach the 2019 NFL Draft.
I have gone back and revisited hours of film to readjust my pre-combine big board and positional rankings. There have been plenty of shake-ups in my positional rankings since my initial big board was released and more changes will likely be made before draft day.
