If you took the 32 most popular draftniks and compared their boards with each other, you would find a helluva lot more consensus than if you looked at the draft boards for the 32 NFL teams. And there's a lot of disagreement among the draftniks this year, so you can imagine the variety of opinions that must exist across the 32 NFL teams.
You can google it, but about five or ten years ago (I've lost perspective on time) the Cowboys accidentally revealed their draft board via post-draft photos of their war room. They actually made the same mistake two years in a row, but not since (even though I emailed them several years ago asking if they could do it pre-draft this time around). The point is that looking at their draft board was an eye opener in terms of how one team's 1st round pick is another team's 4th round pick and vice versa.
My advice: read about the prospects, learn as much as you can, put together a list of those you like and those you don't, but try not to rank them or get too attached to the rankings in your head.
That being said, here are some recently updated draftnik boards...

I think there are teams that will like OT Jawaan Taylor more than some think
I do think it is possible, Taylor is a Gettleman guy
Thoughts on him?

Haha. Hey, to your credit, you had Max Scharping as like a top-15, top-20 prospect. He obviously won't go that high, but if he pans out like Braden Smith did, you'll look great.
Honestly, I've been wondering about this. Not that I'm some kind of expert but I watched a lot of QB X vs team X youtube videos to look them over. I can't remember which game it was but the comments and announcers for the game were drooling over Murray's accuracy, arm talent, mobility, etc. However, I saw a lot of bad decision throws that should have been intercepted during that game.
Thoughts on him?
I am afraid he is another Aaron Maybe. Him at #6 is no good on my board.

They all cop each other for over 90% of their opinions. So afraid of being wrong and that don't mind being among the consensus if they are.

During the season I had him as a possibility up there....but his grade is going to end up in the round 3 area.

I’m not scout but I’d be fine with Burns at 6

Was that a typo or deliberate? Either way it's pretty funny.
Lock has his detractors but, he also has a lot of folks in his corner, especially those who love arm strength and experience. He has both!

Murray is not aside fire prospect like Luck was. His size disability as playing in a college O are all areas of concern. As well as Giants decision making . And for all the gushing about his athletic ability good luck on Sundays in the NFL. The Big 12 doesn’t play D at All and he’s going to be running for his life behind that Az line

If they could get their preference of Jones/Grier at 17 too - quite a haul.
then we get pissed when our team takes player #10 on Mel's or whoever's little list @ #6 and then we scream WE COULD HAVE TRADED DOWN !!!!!
As I have understood it explained over the years ( and it may have changed or be different for different teams ). Players get assigned a grade.. You can have several players with the same grade and those are grouped into rows.
For example.. Looking an SY'56 grades from last year. Baker Mayfield, Isaiah Oliver, Minkah Fitzpatrick, Denzel Ward, Josh Jackson, Darius Leonard, and Bradley Chubb all had around the same grade.. 88-89...
They could potentially all be on the same row.. Now teams will value players differently based on scheme etc etc..
BTW Barkley was a 94...
