Building A GGN Big Board 2021: Prospect No. 8

By MacGregor Wells
NCAA Football: CFP National Championship-Ohio State vs Alabama Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports

We have the eighth prospect on the 2021 GGN Big Board. And the winner is: Patrick Surtain II, Cornerback, Alabama! With Surtain taking the eighth spot, our crowd sourced Big Board now looks like this:

  1. Trevor Lawrence, QB, Clemson
  2. Zach Wilson, QB, BYU
  3. Justin Fields, QB, Ohio State
  4. Ja’Marr Chase, WR, LSU
  5. Penei Sewell, OT, Oregon
  6. Devonta Smith, WR, Alabama
  7. Kyle Pitts, TE, Florida (Tie for #6 with Smith)
  8. Patrick Surtain II, CB, Alabama
  9. ?

From now until late April I’ll be putting up a daily poll asking GGN to vote on the best available players from a rolling list of 15 candidates. The idea here is to build a generic Big Board reflecting the community’s view of this year’s draft class regardless of the Jets’ (or any other team’s) particular needs. So for instance, the Jets may need a QB this year, but that should not necessarily cause you to place, or prevent you from placing a bunch of QBs high on the Big Board. Each day we will close the previous day’s poll and the candidate with the most votes will be added to the GGN Big Board. In the event of a tie vote both players will go up on the Board. By the time the draft rolls around we should have enough players on our Big Board to cover two rounds of the draft.

In the event I have made an egregious omission and a name you think should be on the poll is not there you can write in candidates in the comments section. If a player gets support in the comments section I’ll add him to the next day’s poll. If a player repeatedly gets zero votes he may be dropped from the poll for a few days.

We all have different views and what we’re looking for here is a composite of the best players in the community’s collective mind. Your views may or may not coincide with the community’s, and either way that’s OK.

So let’s get to it. Today we continue with the number nine prospect on the crowd sourced GGN Big Board 2021. Who will it be? Vote early, vote often, and let’s hear who you think are the best players in this draft.
