On Thursday, NFL Network analyst Gil Brandt published the first listing of his yearly ranking of the top 100 NFL Draft prospects.
Keep in mind — like any such ranking, it is one man’s opinion. But unlike many others, Brandt is an analyst whose opinion carries a lot of weight; he has “been there and done that” over a very long time. Brandt was the vice president of player personnel of the Dallas Cowboys for 28 years (1960-88). It would be wise not to dismiss his opinion out of hand.
