Big Ten Football: Top 100 NFL Draft Picks

It's the offseason. Enjoy tables of arbitrary statistics sandwiched between unfiltered conjecture.

Great players make great coaches. The more good players you put on the field, the better coach you become. It's science.

NFL coaches know this maxim, too. That's why, with a few exceptions - usually the Jets and Bills and Browns - pro franchises choose players who share a common trait - collegiate production. A top 100 pick is a gifted athlete who, typically, showed that he was better than everyone he faced in college. By extension, then, the more top 100 picks you have on your college team, the better your college team ought to be - and the smarter you are proven to be as a coach.
