Mel Kiper's latest 2010 Big Board

As the mock draft season takes over, consider the Big Board a valuable source in terms of understanding overall player value. This week there are some changes: Rolando McClain and Jason Pierre-Paul move up, as does Terrence Cody. Regardless of what you hear about Cody, when you talk to personnel folks, this is a guy who teams believe can fill a need as a classic block-occupying clogger in the middle, and I'm not convinced he'll fall as some believe. But it's still early in the process; Indy will tell us a lot more. I'll be back with a new mock draft next week, by the way.
