Board Logistics
The board is composed of general managers and personnel directors from a number of NFL teams, along with the directors of the NFL's two scouting combines, BLESTO and The National. The panel issues an advisory opinion that a player has potential to be picked:
- in the first round
- as high as the second round
- as high as the third round
- after the third round
- in no round at all
or some range thereof. These apparently can include a specific opinion that a player will be drafted in the "third or fourth round" or "first or second round", which is usually known as a "first day" pick, because Round 1 is on the first day of the draft.
The Board has a fair track record that has successfully predicted pick placement for some underclassmen but not others.

Famous quotes containing the word board:
“She hears me strike the board and say
That she is under ban
Of all good men and women,
Being mentioned with a man
That has the worst of all bad names.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
