Scouts Inc. has come up with comprehensive draft boards for every position as we draw ever closer to the 2011 NFL draft (and, hopefully, a 2011 NFL season).
Let's start on the offensive side of the ball and take a look at where some Big East hopefuls are ranked. First, the skill positions:
Jonathan Baldwin, WR, Pittsburgh: second round
Jordan Todman, RB, Connecticut: third round
Dion Lewis, RB, Pittsburgh: fourth round
Delone Carter, RB, Syracuse: fourth round
Bilal Powell, RB, Louisville: fifth round
Anthony Sherman, FB, Connecticut: fifth round
Noel Devine, RB, West Virginia: sixth round
Henry Hynoski, FB, Pittsburgh: seventh round
Armon Binns, WR, Cincinnati: seventh round
Now, the offensive linemen/tight ends:
Jason Pinkston, OT, Pittsbugh: fifth round
Cameron Graham, TE, Louisville: sixth round
Zach Hurd, OG, Connecticut: sixth round
Ryan Bartholomew, C, Syracuse: seventh round
Jason Kelce, C, Cincinnati: seventh round
Now let's move to the defensive side and see where Scouts Inc. rates some Big East defenders:
Terrell McClain, DT, South Florida: second round
Jabaal Sheard, DE/LB, Pittsburgh: second round
Johnny Patrick, CB, Louisville: third round
Greg Romeus, DE, Pittsburgh: fourth round
Brandon Hogan, CB, West Virginia: fourth round
Robert Sands, S, West Virginia: fourth round

Derrell Smith, LB, Syracuse: sixth round
J.T. Thomas, LB, West Virginia: sixth round
Doug Hogue, LB, Syracuse: sixth round
Greg Lloyd, LB, Connecticut: seventh round
These projections aren't gospel by any means, but they should give you a pretty good idea of how Big East hopefuls are being viewed right now.
