For the last five years, NFL’s Future has competed in The Huddle Report’s top 100 and mock draft competition. To me, this is a vital barometer for readers to judge the content and authority of the publisher. While it may be “guesswork” or “luck”, trust me there is skill involved in pegging the right players to the right teams and attributing the top 100 players that will be drafted.
It’s also equally important for reader’s to understand that this is not NFLF Top 100 but rather an exercise in guessing the top 100 players drafted – two very drastically different exercises. As always it’s my hope that all these forums will be that you judge me by. Without further ado, here’s my submission to the top 100 drafted.
