Our site projections will always be a collaborative effort. John, Joe, Tom, Scott, and Graham all give their input into how we think every player will produce. We think of our projections as the main tool to draft from. But, they are just one part of the equation. While projections do a great job of encapsulating the way we all feel in one number, we will always have slight disagreements on players we are higher and lower on.
So, we decided that staff rankings are the best way to provide a range of where we’re taking players relative to their average draft position. Our projections lay the statistical baseline we’re expecting from every player while these rankings are more of a subjective exercise.
