The best draft research resources

[Seneschal2]

Nolan Nawrocki's top 100 is now posted. IMO he's one of the more accurate draft analysts.

Disclaimer: Players are ranked according to the likelihood of their success in the NFL, not necessarily in the order Nawrocki believes they will be drafted.

Re: NFL.com draft tracker is now available...

This site has become very valuable as perhaps the best overall free resource.

From Combine stats, arm/hand length, videos, grades, and brief overviews -- one-stop-shopping is here.

I wonder who exactly is responsible at NFL.com for assigning those grades. Mayock?

For my fellow Draft Loonies, Fanatical FootBall Fiend has pulled in the first early Reports, from National FootBall Post, SideLine Scouting, Mocking The Draft, and a couple others:

- 2012 NFL FootBall Draft Scouting Reports

Wes Bunting tends to get an early leg up on the competition at NFP ~ this year's no different ~ and if history holds, both he and Draft InSider will start rolling out team by team reports in a couple weeks.

NFL Mocks provides nice early overviews of who might be prospect material, but I don't include them, at this point, because they're not really what I'd call Scouting Reports: just Profiles, really.

Pro FootBall Weekly rather stupidly all but hid their Reports, last year. I don't know how I missed them, as I looked. But they'll join my lineup, this year: I only include the Free Sites, of course. I'll be dropping Tool Box and Draft Bible, but plan on bringing back everyone else.

If anyone has any suggestions as to who I might add to the lineup, I'd be very gratefull: I progressed, from last March to December, from Interested, to Engaged, to Passionate, to Obsessed...to CONSUMED with this, which means that there are quite possibly LOTS of resources I haven't yet uncovered...

I really like the video section of:

Players | Draft Breakdown

They seem to focus on a player throughout the game, and not just few wow! highlight plays.

Been a while since any new sites were added, I really like these guys...

The Draft Network

 

[Scotty]

I also look at them quite a bit but not sure how they stack up against the others....I think their mock draft simulator needs updating they only show round 1

I like their scouting reports, I don't always agree with them but it's obvious they e watched the tape and are giving their own opinions unlike other so called draftniks that just rehash buzzwords and consensus groupthink, albeit in a more reader friendly way, sometimes

NFLDraftScout.com has become Draftscout.com. There was a period of about 4 years that they were owned by CBS. It looks like Rang and Hitterman have purchased things back from CBS. I don't blame them as CBS ran it into the ground.

any suggestions on a good mock draft simulator site? Both PFF and pro Football News rankings seriously out of date

Fanspeak’s On the Clock simulator now allows free trades I believe, but when I first tried it a few weeks ago it seemed really complicated; I’ll give it another go when I return from vacation, especially if comp picks will have been announced by then…

p.s.: It’s nice to see some of these old names again, too.

Yeah, it's pretty decent but their big board seems all over the place

Happy vacation man

Thanks; we’re leaving Venice today unfortunately, and taking the TrenItalia back to Rome, from where we’ll fly to Philadelphia the following day… It’s been a fast 10 days that’s for sure…
