We continue to move along on the big board, folks! Just as a heads-up, we won't have an installment of this tomorrow, as yours truly will be on the road and unable to get to the site during the time this would usually go up. We will get back on track on Saturday.

Now we're moving on to spots 46-50 on the big board, and the rules will remain the same.
Remember, this is not a mock draft and not a projection of what you think other teams will do or who you think will be available. Basically, ask yourself this question:
"If the Minnesota Vikings were on the clock in the 2014 NFL Draft and they could select any of these players, who would I want them to take?"
I understand that the MtD rankings aren't perfect, but for the most part they're pretty darn good, and it's the easiest list for us to use.
You will get to rank your Top 5 players from the list available. Points will be allotted as follows:
First-place vote = 5 points
Second-place vote = 4 points
Third-place vote = 3 points
Fourth-place vote = 2 points
Fifth-place vote = 1 point
After we determine who winds up in spots 46-50 on our big board, those names will be removed and replaced with the next five names on the Mocking the Draft rankings.
So, with that, feel free to have at it to determine who sits in spots 46-50 on our big board!
