2016 NFL Draft Small School Big Board - March 20th Update

In the 2015 NFL Draft, 20 non-FBS players are selected. Generally, the first goes off the board somewhere in the 2nd round, and then more start coming off the board by the 4th and 5th round, with a large portion picked after the 5th round.

While it’s still very early in the scouting process, ESPECIALLY for small school players, here’s our early “Small School Big Board”, lead by the former Ohio State transfer at linebacker Noah Spence, two top-100 hopeful North Dakota State prospects, and a handful of defenders to get to know.

We’ll be adding plenty (over 100) to this list as the draft process goes on, along with interviews, features, and much more
