By Christopher Gates

Sorry for the delay in today's version of the Big Board, ladies and gentlemen. Let's get right to it.

Here are the next five names on our board:

Player Name 51 52 53 54 55 Total
Cyril Richardson, OG, Baylor 30 25 24 17 18 374
Jace Amaro, TE, Texas Tech 24 16 17 10 7 262
Antone Exum, CB, Virginia Tech 17 15 15 19 10 238
Bishop Sankey, RB, Washington 13 16 18 18 17 236
DaQuan Jones, DT, Penn State 11 14 17 12 15 201

That means the entire big board looks like this so far:

50 Carlos Hyde RB Ohio State
51 Cyril Richardson G Baylor

53 Antone Exum CB Virginia Tech
54 Bishop Sankey RB Washington
55 DaQuan Jones DT Penn State

Now we're moving on to spots 56-60 on the big board, and the rules will remain the same. And it appears that the folks at Mocking the Draft have updated their big board, so now that everything is thrown off a bit, I'm going to use a bit more of my own discretion when adding new names to the board.

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 56-60 on our big board, those names will be removed and replaced with the next five names on the Mocking the Draft rankings five more names since the MtD folks have updated their board.

So, with that, feel free to have at it to determine who sits in spots 56-60 on our big board!
