Since '09, his draft board has finished first four times and tied for second twice in The Huddle Report’s Top 100 board contest. Who will be the top 100 in 2022?

Part 1, WR/TE: Does size matter?

Part 2, OL: Trevor Penning, 'total prick' in trenches, leads class of ass-kickers

Part 3, QB: Bet on teams in need rolling the dice

Part 4, RB: How special are Breece Hall and Kenneth Walker?

Part 5, DL: Will Jordan Davis devour NFL offenses, too?

Part 6, Edge: It’s a do-or-die decision

Part 7, LB: Who is green-dot worthy?

Part 8, DB: Could Tariq Woolen change the cornerback game?

Part 9, ST: When will we see a one-man kicking crew?

Here is my first and only listing of how I’m projecting the first 100 players to be selected Thursday and Friday in the NFL draft.

Players are listed from best to worst within each position group.

This also will serve as my entry in The Huddle Report’s Top 100 board contest. According to THR, these scores have become the standard by which draft publications, sites and media personnel are measured.

Since first entering in 2009 my board has finished first four times (2011, ’12, ’13, ’19) and tied for second twice (2010, ’20). Last year, I tied for 11th while working for The Athletic.

This is the first time I’ve represented Tyler Dunne’s GoLongTD.com.
