My (Rough Draft) Top 20 Big Board and An Extended Flash Mock

Welcome back to The McShay Report! In today’s Rough Draft podcast, Steve Muench and I reveal our working top 10 big boards and take a stab at a quick flash draft of the first 10 picks. For the newsletter, I’ve decided to go 20 deep on my big board and include eight additional mock draft picks, with each projected non-playoff team getting a selection. I’ve also offered thoughts on some of the biggest changes from my midseason rankings, including Fernando Mendoza’s rise to no. 1 and Dante Moore’s return to the list. 

In the second half of the newsletter, you’ll see a portion of my conversation from today’s episode with the Athlete Group’s Jake Rosenberg, who’s worked closely with the University of Oklahoma this past season and other college programs to build structured front offices that resemble the ones we see in the NFL. In the excerpt below, Jake shares what his new venture is setting out to accomplish at the micro and macro levels of team building in college football. 

Let’s dive in.
