After a week of releasing new position rankings for the 2012 NFL Draft, it culminates with a new top 100 (which you can find after the jump and here).
Obviously Stanford's Andrew Luck comes in at the top. The biggest difference you'll see immediately is that Southern California offensive tackle Matt Kalil has jumped up to No. 2 overall. One player who I was more confident in pushing toward the top is North Carolina outside linebacker Zach Brown. I've watched the last two North Carolina games twice each and he's popped off the screen.
Of course with those players and more rising, several had to fall. Of course, this is no where near what the rankings will look like in April or even December. Instead, it's a snapshot of what I think right now.
Find the rankings by position here and let me know what you think. Remember, if you think the rankings are awful, try and do better yourself in a FanPost.

No Akron Zips?
I liked seeing Thompson higher than usual and Worthy lower. If Thompson continues playing well, I think he could go as high as Raji. Richardson deserves his high slot. Coples better produce soon.
Datko vs. Branch tomorrow, it will be a good test of those rankings.
"Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue."
This WR class might be as deep as the 2009 one
especially after the Raiders draft Greg Childs in the top 10 when he runs a 4.31
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
Ouch. Steep drop for Crick. Has he really played that poorly so far?
