Every team's big board is drastically different from each other. They're also drastically different from any of the media members since the teams have access to info that never gets released to the public. This year it was rumored that the Patriots only had 80 draftable players on their board, even tighter than the Belichick years. Pete Carroll and Sean Payton are also notorious for keeping small draft boards.
The Bengals tend to be a little more open. They've been rumored to always have bigger boards. Some teams are usually drafting the UDFAs, they aren't convinced they can sign after the draft, in the 6th and 7th rounds (or 4th if you're Belichick). Duke has mentioned multiple times before that the player they've taken in the 7th is a guy they have a 5th round grade on.
Comparing draft boards can make your head spin if you're not in the process.
You can always trust an dishonest man to be dishonest. Honestly, it's the honest ones you have to look out for.
