I deviated from the last topic I was going to dive into at the outset of the project. Instead of looking at the college statistics of each individual I thought it would be more prudent to study the overall rankings of each player. College stats wouldn't be the best predictors because they're heavily dependent on the scheme and caliber of teammates each prospect had, whereas overall rankings project them compared to other prospects at their respective positions. I think there will be some crossover effects with the mock draft rankings, but mock drafts project fit with teams and aren't true ordered rankings.
To create a composite style ranking similar to this one, I collected the top 100 rankings of 10 different draft pundits, averaged out their rankings to get a consensus and then ranked them. Below are the top 50 results from 2013, since my test draft prediction will be run on that draft.
