How this works: each simulated draft runs the same AI as the draft room. Every team weighs the best available players against its needs, with some randomness, and a team's need at a position drops once it drafts there. Percentages are the share of simulations in which a player went at that pick. Updated when the board, order or needs change.
Top 100: consensus board, week of Sep 21. Below that, the provisional board (as of Sep 26), built from college production, recruiting and team strength; those players are marked Prov. Draft order is projected from current records.
