Consensus Top 100
It’s Draft Week! For most teams the draft board is set with Plans A through Z ready. Rumors swirl now of trades for those teams near the edge of a tier of talent as they try to move up or down in trade. Over the years I have developed my consensus Top 100, a combination of several reputable draft evaluators put into a formula to get to a general view of a prospect’s value. Of course, every team has different values on players and it only takes one team to make the 100th ranked prospect a 1st rounder. In the consensus 100, we also can see areas approximately where the talent tiers lie based on where their raw average data shows big jumps. Here is the full list:
