Consensus Top 100 (Preliminary)

[manxman2601]

I decided to start a project collating information from big boards and top 100s across the net to come up with some sort of consensus top 100 ranking. People like to use their favourite BB's to assess a players ranking but I was finding this a little frustrating as no two were the same - hence the project. I got through 12 big boards before suspending the project a) because a lot of the big guns (Mayock, Kiper, Rang et al) haven't posted theirs and b) because I wanted to wait for pro-days to finish. However, I wanted to give you an early look before hopefully having a more complete one a couple of weeks before the draft.

1. I used 12 BB's before suspending. They are:

National Football Post
Pro Football Weekly
CBSSports
Ryan Lownes (DraftBreakdown.com)
Josh Norris (Rotoworld)
NFL's Future
Draft Hub
Draft Ace
New Era Scouting
NE Patriots Draft
Mike Loyko (nepatriotsdraft)
Gil Brandt

2. Every players top 100 ranking was mapped and then averaged. If a player wasn't ranked in a boards top 100, he was assigned a value of 150. Please note, that this may make the latter quarter of the top 100 a little imprecise. I'm hoping to create a top 200 for my final project to make this more precise.

1. Andrew Luck
2. Matt Kalil

This took some work thank for doing it, much appreciated.

I see where we are getting our differences on Fleming now. I've only even heard of 7 of those sites and don't use most of them.

My go to sites are
Great Blue North Draft Report
NFLDraftScout.com
Sideline Scouting
Draft Countdown
Walterfootball

Great work and I appreciate the effort. I would not know where to even start to do what you did. Certainly a 5 star thread (and anyone giving it less is a, well you know)

Other sites to use have been mentioned so I'll put my plug in for Pro Football Weekly. Their player rankings are free content this year and updated weekly.

Great work. Going strictly by your board.

1a Whitney Mercilus - OLB - Illinois
1B Kendal Reyes - DE - Connecticut
2A Harrison Smith - S - Notre Dame
2b Shea McClellin - LB - Boise ST
3 Ron Brooks - CB - LSU

Offense. We have enough damn offense.

On Jamell Fleming, I have him as:

40, 84, 28, 60, 68, unranked, 46, 69, 89, 39, 44, 57

so I would say late second to early third (leaning towards late second). The one that didn't rank him was Pro Football Weekly who have some strange rankings. Other notables that weren't in their top 100:

Jonathan Martin
Kelechi Osemele
Jared Crick
Bobby Wagner
Jayron Hosley

Love it!

Anytime I look at a prospect list the players I think would fit the Patriots are always 5-10 picks below the spot where the Patriots pick. I feel the same way here, get in the top 20 or trade out.

Pick #62 looks like a good bet for a DB:

57. Jamell Fleming
58. Chase Minnifield
59. Trumaine Johnson
60. Harrison Smith

62. Jayron Hosley
