FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.— After two days of the 2016 MLS combine, teams have begun to formulate opinions on the players  here, and as usual, there are players who are seeing their stock skyrocket, while some others see their names drop lower on the boards of the 20 teams in attendance.

Many of the players expected to go in the first round of Thursday’s MLS Draft are still the same, even after some combine performances that may have fallen below expectations. Players such as Jonathan Campbell and Kyle Fisher haven’t lived up to the billing, but the consensus is that they have strong enough bodies of work at the top college level to avoid tumbling too far on draft boards, if at all.

The players benefiting the most from showing we at the combine, as usual, are small-school players who most teams haven’t seen much of. North Florida’s Alex Morrell, SIU-Edwardsville’s Justin Bilyeu and CSU-Dominguez Hills’ Tony Alfaro are three who have seen their stock jump during this week.

It should be noted that Thursday’s draft will not consist strictly of players taking part in the MLS combine. A handful of teams have held their own private combines, and could very well grab players who impressed in those, even though they may not be on the radar. We saw it last year when Toronto FC drafted Clemont Simonin.

One player included in the Big Board, though he has yet to sign with MLS, is Abu Danladi, who is still in play as a potential Generation adidas signing.

With all that in mind, here is a look at how we see the talent pool in the 2016 MLS Draft stacking up, based on past rankings, combine performances and with input provided by multiple MLS coaches, general managers and scouts, as well as input from me (Keep in mind, these rankings do not correspond with those specific draft positions. This isn’t a Mock Draft.). Look for our final Big Board, a more detailed one, to drop on Wednesday:
