It’s always a bittersweet time of the year when the 2013 NFL Draft begins to come to a close and we take stock on the 2014 draft. A ton of work goes into what amounts to our top 300 prospects in the draft. After all the mock draft and pointless banter it all really comes down to this. As an evaluator, all you want is for these rankings to take shape over the course of time. For every right ranking (Russell Wilson) there are many more that don’t work out as anticipated (Blaine Gabbert).

This year has been an exercise in patience as the evaluation process only began taking shape in January, a month later than previous years. But the outcome was a better product with more intensive analysis than any previous season. As we go, we perfect the process, and its a process.

After the break we reveal our top 300 prospects for the 2013 NFL Draft.
