Note:
The "Top 100 Projection" is that one item I stand firmly behind at the Draftboardguru.com website. This has been the item for which I have been most credible in recent years and, quite frankly, enjoy the most in preparing for the annual football draft.  It is my hope to once again provide an accurate, well-studied, researched, and polished list for my draft colleagues, friends, and the enthusiasts that visit this website.  Please give me feedback to the list via email (coachdmartz@hotmail.com).  If you would like a document file emailed to you that has this information, I'd be more than happy to do so. 
 
Although I've been doing Top 100 lists for six years now, I got real serious about it in 2008 and have been thrilled at the work that The Huddle Report does in reporting scoring from across the nation.
I've been a member of their scoring for three years now, going on four.
Previous scored results by the Huddle Report, THE BEST and MOST RECOGNIZED name in scoring collaboration! 
   82 (2010);  78 (2009);  84 (2008);
 
Recommendation for anyone enjoying my website:  Have you subscribed to The Huddle Report?  If not, it's highly recommended to my readers here.  Great insight, projections, and value-boards and well worth the small cost for this premium service!

Note about Top 100 List:
 
Although Top 100 sounds easy.  Sounds quick...  sounds painless and like a 10-minute job...  nothing could be further from the truth.  Designing and narrowing this list down from a group of over 400 to a chunk of 100 guys that will go first is the hardest line of work in the draftnik business.  It's also my favorite here at DraftBoardGuru.com.  The process involves as much naked-eye assessment of how these players are slotted into a draft position along with keen research on official team visits, pro-day workouts, combine workouts, and especially the level of competition during regular season collegiate games and how the players did against other good athletes.  The part of the Top 100 that's easy is the first 50.  It's that next 50 that takes hours upon hours to narrow down.  Finally, it's the players from #80 to #100 that makes the difference to whether this list can be credible or not.  The difference between scoring in the high 80's on this task (a good score) and getting a 70 depends on what happens in the final half of round three of the NFL draft.  Although mock drafting and building draftboards are fun, they pail in comparison to the workload involved in the slotting of players into a successful Top 100 list.
