The amount of effort to track so many players is impressive. Thank you for sharing!

I want to learn more about Riley Moss and why he jumps into Day 2 evaluation.

BTW, Sidy Sow is a great name for a Guard.

The placement for Riley Moss just like for all the others is based strictly on athletic profile, so the list is strictly combine ranking. It goes something like this:

TOP 10: Athletic profile that is so dominant that it is rare in the league, a player will come in day 1 into the league and dominate everybody, athletically.
REST OF DAY 1: Can be top 10 but for some minor issues.
RD2: Is dominant starter.
RD3: Good Starter,
Day 4: Middle of the pack starter.

Most of the players, or majority of the players on the list have experience playing the position, so does Riley Moss at CB. I will not adjust those players for final ranking, so Riley Moss will stay as high 2nd round.

Some players are tweeners, like Kelee Ringo. He can be a really good corner but his frame is better for safety. I will leave him at RD2 even though I would move him to safety, but he can play any DB position at high level.

Some players never played the position they tested for. For example, Yaya Diaby tested as first round edge talent, but he played at LOU with hand in dirt on interior of DL. I will have to adjust him because he essentially never played edge, he does not know how to play. It's a testament to LOU stupidity to play a 6-3 250 athletic freak at DT.

Then there are players like Matt Landers who are just overlooked.

Finally there are players who tested great but you go to film and it just does not show up and you may not like them, and I will scratch those off final list. Same thing goes for Riley Moss, if you go to film and you do not like the way he plays, just scratch him off the list. But, you should know that athletically he can play at a very very high level.

I also want to say something about OGs. Basicaly, for the most part OGs in college are not good at transitioning to the NFL. They just do not have athletic profile and feet for the NFL which is why they played G in college. Essentially, a G in the NFL should be selected from the T pool in college. Players who played tackle in college and have good frame but just lack athleticism, arm length, or frame to play tackle in the NFL should play guard. For that reason, I will not have any college guards as draftable in my final list. The draftable guards will be from the tackle combine pool like:
Matt Bergeron, Asim Richards, Tyler Steen for example.
