The NFL Draft is all about big boards. Professional football organizations rank players just like fans and media. From there, a balancing act takes over as personnel decisions are made between most talented to biggest need.
As the draft starts to play out, NFL general managers go to their big board ranking to make selections. That is the process Tennessee Titans GM Ran Carthon stuck to during the first two days of the NFL Draft. In round one, Northwestern guard/tackle Peter Skoronski fell to the Titans at No. 11 overall. The consensus top-10 player in the draft also happened to play a position of need for the AFC South franchise.
