I didn't seen a general draft thread so opted to make a new thread to discuss what NFL team strategies should be looking at who is available overall. I looked at Todd McShay's rankings and here are the breakdowns by position based on the number of players with a particular rating score (100 is the highest).
90s 80s 70s 60s 50s 40s
QB 5 0 3 0 1 1
RB 1 2 3 3 3 4
WR 4 6 8 8 9 4
TE 1 2 2 1 2 4
C 0 2 1 2 1 1
OT 3 4 4 1 3 1
G 1 2 4 4 3 3
ILB 3 3 1 5 4 0
OLB 0 2 3 2 1 2
DE 2 5 3 2 9 0
DT 0 2 6 4 2 1
CB 4 4 9 6 4 1
S 1 3 3 4 6 6
PK 0 0 0 0 1 0
That adds up to 231 players . . . or basically 6 rounds worth. There are 119 additional players in the score of 30-39 range (basically 7th round options). Players in the 80+ range will likely be gone in Round 2 (or early 3rd). Based on the positional breakdowns, it seems like there are a ton of WR, CB, and S that should be available in the middle rounds. Not many OLB or OT in the mid to late rounds this year.
