If Mel Kiper Jr.’s first big board for next year’s NFL draft is any indication, it could be a very good year for Utah talent in 2023.<\/p>\n
The ESPN NFL draft expert released his early big board and position rankings for next year’s draft on Tuesday – just a month after the end of the 2022 draft – and many ties to the Beehive State appear, including two players who made Kiper’s list of the top 25 talents.<\/p>\n
It’s important to note that not every player on these kinds of lists will end up being in a position to be drafted next year. Many of them are underclassmen, for example, and would have to declare to become draft eligible next year.<\/p>\n
Kiper also noted that the evaluation process is still early – the 2022 college football season is still three months away – and he will get things wrong with some prospects.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn some of these guys, I’m projecting what they could do this season, which means they have a high ceiling but still need to reach it on the field,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n
Still, Kiper’s big board provides an early evaluation for names to watch in the upcoming season.<\/p>\n
