The best draft research resources

[Seneschal2]

NFL.com's Combine site is now up. All profiles are the condensed version from NFLDraftscout.com, a subscription site. Combine numbers will also be added. We referred to this site last draft more than any other -- sticky requested:

For the next few months lots of folks will stop by here wanting background on the draft prospects. Let's keep this sticky to nothing but links to highly recommended resources. (Sound ok, Seneschal?)

In addition to this 2008 draft prospects profiles are available in the following section (if anyone is interested in comparing 2008 vs 2009 prospects):

Absolutely patchick -- thanks for being so reasonable.

Thought it was o.k. to add this link from New Era Scouting, which lists round by round all trades affecting the 2009 NFL draft.

Ok, I can't stand it anymore. I miss my NFLDraftScout.com. I am thinking of plunking now some cash and either getting:
1) Sporting News War Room
or
2) ESPN Insider for McShay, Kiper and Scouts Inc.

Any advice before I take the plunge?

I thought it was pretty good one of the better ones i've seen except for the dolts picking thirty second.
