The second and third rounds of the 2010 NFL Draft will begin later today(6:00 PM ET) and the Arizona Cardinals have three picks. Since we more or less knew who and what position the Cardinals would target in the first round, I was reluctant to make a big board. But now that 32 draftees are out of the mix, now would be the best time to accumulate the talent that is left on a big board so that we can visually see who the Cardinals should select.
A big board is generally a list of the top players in the draft. The list can also be based on players by talent or need. In our case, I'd like to make a list based on a little of both. There are 66 picks all together in rounds two and three. I'll create my own list but I want to get the input of anyone who's willing to do so. Feel free to add your own players to the list by leaving a comment.
Update: My big board is complete and I'll admit that it's easier said then done. You can either take the best player available approach, or the needs approach. I tried to do both. You can see it after the jump...
