From now until the 2020 NFL Draft concludes, ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. is hard at work putting together his Big Board, ranking and grading prospects and keeping track of players who will be early entries. It’s a tireless chore for the draft expert.
Recently, Kiper released his list of the top 10 players at each position, as well as his top 25 prospects for the 2020 NFL Draft. That list included five B1G names, including two from Ohio State and Iowa and one from Wisconsin.
Kiper’s dive into the top 10 players at each position, however, had plenty more B1G names in the mix.
Here’s a look at the B1G players Kiper included in his top 10 rankings for each position, as well as where they stacked up compared to the rest of the field:
