FST Big Board

I was thinking about how many prospects for my big board and this just made too much sense.  Darche McShay uses 32. That kinda makes sense because there are 32 teams. My man Mel uses 25 and i like that and all but i feel the magic number should be more like 20.  These teams are not playoff teams and shrinking the talent pool per se is kinda like the reason we use a *** system of ranking players instead of 5.  More consistency a la more precision.  And if you're picking top 10 and you're busting every year left and right a top 20 list gives teams a better guide on what the true talent is.  As usual, we will release the top 100 prospects in April.

1) Andrew Luck QB ***
2) Robert Griffin III QB ***
3) Justin Blackmon WR ***
4) Matt Kalil OT
5) Trent Richardson
6) Quinton Coples (HYBRID) -- DE in lehman terms and for everyone else ( 4-3 DE) but in my created defense a HYBRID .. these type of players rush the QB ALMOST every play. Hybrid II are like the Demarcus Ware types.
7) Dre Kirkpatrick CB
8) Morris Claiborne CB
9) Jonathan Martin OT
10) Devon Still DL
11) David DeCastro OG
12) Vontaze Burfict LB
13) Mark Barron S
14) Fletcher Cox DL
15) Riley Reiff OT
16) Courtney Upshaw LB
17) Jerel Worthy DL
18) Luke Kuechly LB
19) Melvin Ingram DL
20) Whitney Mercilus NFL Hybrid DE/OLB (HYBRID II)

Just Missed
25-35 Michael Floyd WR
25-35 LaMichael James RB
25-35 Alfonzo Dennard CB

.. this means these players are late 1st/early 2nd round picks and FST ranking does not merit a top 20 pick
