OneTwoSixFive Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 When you are deciding where to draft players, is there a 'best' or favourite site you recommend, for determining the order of the top 100 or even 200 odd players ? I used to use CBS draft site, but I was never that happy with it and it often had technical issues. NFL.com was better (and more reliable), especially as it kept adding scouting reports on the players, but it isn't up yet. Currently I am looking at Drafttek which at least appears early, tracks a players rise and fall on their board, and has the top 300. Great Blue North site has the top 109 at the moment. I have never looked to see which site was the most accurate, but I bet someone has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlNFL19 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 For just a quick read on prospects, I'd recommend NFL.com and WalterFootball.com, but I prefer to watch the film as well. Check this work out by CalhounLambeau. It's a huge database with links to film and all kinds of measurables and things on a ton of players and probably the most extensive you'll find.

OneTwoSixFive Posted November 8, 2018 Author Share Posted November 8, 2018 @AINFL19 Great resource, thanks. The Google doc took a moment or two to work out, but I soon saw the tabs at the bottom to select a position, and another few seconds to get to the film clips, very nice for a quick look at a prospect. Certainly worth a bookmark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragnarok Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 WalterFootball is my go to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingseanjohn Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I agree with the WalterFootball. I check them first to get an idea then I'll watch some tape and cross check it against some other sites as needed. While not perfect, it's a good starting point.

Forge Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I dig drafttek just because it's easy to get player names, but their rankings are often wonky, and there's no real write up on them on the big board list. Still, if you're just looking for players, its hard to beat the ease of that site. Also, Calhoun's database as others have said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDOG_det Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 http://www.draftscout.com/members/ratings/players.php?genpos=QB&draftyear=2019&sortby=tsxpos&order=ASC Members link to nfldraftscout (free). In the positional hyperlinks on that page there's one for "top 1000". It isn't updated yet, but they'll update it once the season is over and all the underclassmen declare. For now, you can just scroll through the positions (which are routinely updated) and it displays the average amount drafted per position and the average amount drafted in the top 100 per position.

tom cody Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Walterfootball.com is usually good. I also pick up a draft preview magazine as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWood21 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Honestly, there's no real great one. You just have to kind of browse through all of them, and use it as a general guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 So people do not even look at this site for any content? Look around all that was asked for is there.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedTheClock Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I don't trust any of them. I usually compile a list on an excel sheet and do as many prospects as I can. This year I've been slacking hard...have watched less than half of what I usually do.There are a lot of big name top 20 players I haven't even seen a snap of yet.

I like to look at some different sites from time to time or magazines in the stores but they can be "right" about so much and then think a guy that everyone expects to go round 1 or 2(and does) actually has a 6th round grade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, I've written for his site before. I've stayed at Walter's house for a fantasy football draft and he is a generally good guy. Don't always agree with his opinions and he can be a bit out there with some thoughts. But he does have a basis for his opinions. Now Charlie Campbell, and a couple other guys he has brought on, are really good in terms of not only opinions, but also connections with some front offices.

DirtyDez Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Does the Walterfootball site give anyone else’s phone cancer or is that a me problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
