In 2015, College Football Metrics joined forces with preeminent draft analyst Xavier Cromartie to produce mock drafts and top 100 prospect boards for entry into The Huddle Report’s exclusive, experts-only NFL Draft scoring. Xavier starts to post mock drafts and top 100 boards in January and continues up to the draft in April.

Xavier's five-year average score in the The Huddle Report's top 100 board rankings is #2 in the world (see rankings here: top 100 boards). His five-year average score in first-round mock draft scoring is #7 in the world (see rankings here: first-round mocks).
