Every year, I sit down and do mock drafts and have a good idea in my mind of how I would rank players. But I seldom have put that list down on paper -- or, in this case, in cyberspace.
But that was the task I gave myself this week. I've watched film on nearly every prospect. I've read about their backgrounds. I've formulated who I like and who I don't.
Typically, when I do these kind of exercises, I look at players through the eyes of the Steelers and what they do. It's the team I cover. And some players just don't fit into their scheme.
So, if there are players you see on other lists like this that aren't on this one, that's probably a good reason why. Or, they might have something in their background that causes me to rank them lower than somebody who is simply looking at them from a talent standpoint.
I'll give you the offensive rankings today as we continue to run up to the draft April 23-25. The defense will come out tomorrow.
