By Nolan Nawrocki
By Nolan Nawrocki
PFW's final top 100 is reflective of the general consensus of grades on draft boards around the league. An "H" was used to designate players who will be likely be drafted higher than they grade on tape because of any number of factors, including a lack of positional depth, reaching for team needs or general overhype. An "L" was used to signify players who are ranked lower than they grade and will likely produce in the pros and could prove to be value picks.
