Draft Guide - Which is the best?
Hi, i have a question for you. I would like to buy a magazine about the draft but but since this is the first guide that I'll buy I need an hint.
I found three different version of guides: -Lindy's -Street & Smith -Pro Football Weekly Which is the most complete? Do you know another guide? Thanks in advance for the answers.

Re: Draft Guide - Which is the best?
I've always been a fan of The Sporting News myself.

Re: Draft Guide - Which is the best?
I believe the difference between them is limited to individual writing ability and that's about it since they get their info from the same places......
with the internet, the paper versions have become obsolete since they don't update them every time someone has an individual workout or gets hurt or arrested |

Are they in stores now? These mags are my favourite each year. I prefer The Sporting News, but they may be just out of tradition. |

Re: Draft Guide - Which is the best?
The magazine put out by The Sporting News has been very weird last past few years. It's interesting for a contrarian opinion but that is definitely what you get. Like Beau Bell was called a first round talent last year. Pro Football Weekly, of course, is the favorite and Lindy's was writen in conjunction with NFL Draft Scout last year.
I also got this one last year : Shawn Zobel's Draft Headquarters - Shawn Zobel's 2009 Draft Preview and was happy with it. |

Re: Draft Guide - Which is the best?
I always get Pro Football Weekly's draft guide mag as a primer. Also the Sporting News mag. I'll look at Lindy's this year.
Then I get the Pro Football Weekly "big book". I have everyone since 1998 and use them a reference. |

Re: Draft Guide - Which is the best?
Nothing different from me; I buy Pro Football Weekly's Draft Issue, USAToday Sports Weekly's Draft Issue (with info/rankings provided by NFLDraftScout), and The Sporting News' Draft Issue (for a different perspective). One of the reasons I get those 3 is that they are published just a couple of weeks before the draft.
Last year I noticed a draft mag from someone named New Era Scouting, but didn't buy it. If anyone did, what were your impressions?
