The 2023 NFL Draft is complete, and rookie drafts are starting. Kyle Bellefeuil and I have comprised a Top 40 big board that should help with all of the rookie drafts going on. Landing spots were all taken into consideration, and the board is made up of Kyle and my own rankings as a consensus. Linked to each player's name is a full draft profile.

Individual Player Profiles

Below, you'll see our rankings (from 1 to 40), along with brief profiles of each rookie on the Big Board.

1. EDGE Will Anderson, Houston Texans

Haggan: Will Anderson is an unbelievable, almost can't-miss prospect. He is an explosive athlete with elite snap timing and tremendous burst and first step. Anderson has a plethora of pass-rush moves, with his spin move being his most impressive.

2. LB Jack Campbell, Detroit Lions

Bellefeuil: If you're looking for a throwback linebacker to hold down the middle, look no further. Not only is Jack Campbell a big presence physically, but he's got the game to go with it. Campbell plays a physical brand of football and is a sound tackler with an impressive 265 tackles over his last two seasons.
