NFL Draft 2023 Big Board: October Top 200

We’re through six weeks of the 2022 college football season, which means it’s time to ramp up draft coverage

We’re through six weeks of the 2022 college football season, which means it’s time to ramp up draft coverage. I’m hoping to publish at least one 2023 NFL Draft first round mock before November, but today’s post is a top 200 big board. I’ll post updated big boards each month until the draft rolls around.

Please note that I broke the top 200 into ten tiers. A prospect’s exact rank on the board isn’t as important as the tier he appears in. There are also sections for honorable mentions and prospects I removed because they’re battling season-ending injuries.

You can leave any feedback in the comment section or reach out to me on Twitter @Sam_Teets33.
