ESPN's Mel Kiper released his first NFL Draft big board on Thursday morning. You can find here, but you'll need an ESPN+ account to read the entire article. Some K-State takeaways, though.
Duece Vaughn is not one of Kiper's ten highest-ranked RBs in the 2022 class. In fact, Vaughn isn't even in Kiper's "just missed" category, which names six players. So the second team All-Big 12 selection isn't one of Kiper's 16 highest ranked RBs as of early December.
Cooper Beebe is the seventh-ranked offensive guard, according to Kiper
Edge rusher Felix Anudike-Uzomah is Kiper's 10th ranked defensive end, per Kiper in the 2022 Draft.
A reminder: a big board isn't a mock draft. instead, it's a ranking of players overall -- and by position -- so Kiper ranking each wildcat where he does may not be reflective of where a player could be selected in the NFL Draft.
