pretender, Matt Waldman of Gut Check fame is currently working his tail off doing scouting profiles for I believe over 100 college players entering the NFL. You should check out his work to see if that is something you'd be interested in, particularly because he has 9 players whose profile you can view for free. Here they are:
Scouting Profiles
TE Joe Klopfenstein, Colorado
RB Tyrone Moss, Miami
RB Reggie McNeal, Texas A&M
RB DeAngelo Williams, Memphis
RB Kenneth Darby, Alabama
RB Mike Bell, Arizona
RB Brian Calhoun, Wisconsin
RB Michael Bush, Louisville
QB Omar Jacobs, Bowling Green
I'm not sure the status of the other profiles as to when they will be available, but you could contact Matt directly if you wish. He's put a lot of time and effort into standardizing the format for the profiles, so feedback on that would be more than welcome, I'm sure.
I remember the thread you are thinking about from last year. One that came highly recommended was GM Jr., although I didn't buy it myself so can't speak to the quality.

I had one last year that I can't recall offhand, think it was a pdf version of Ourlads. Whatever it was (pretty sure it was them) was DAMN good.

I have used PFW's for the last 7 years and was always impressed with Joel Buschbaum's analysis. But now that he's passed on, I don't have any loyalty towards PFW and would like to hear about some alternatives as well.
Dave Baker
Damn glad to meet you
PFW is great, but I actually preferred Ourlads last year.
Never purchased Frank Coyle before, but Bob Magaw shared his with me and I might like that even more than Ourlads. I'll be getting PFW and Ourlads again this year, and maybe Coyle, with a sprinkle of online TSN stuff too.
For the more casual fan, TSN's mag is excellent and easy to read. It's also a lot cheaper (with much less content).

my favorite four from past few seasons (in order)...
frank coyle (about $50 & up for internet package... draft guide suffices)
kiper (about $20-$25)
pro football weekly (about $15)
sporting news magazine ($8)
i borrowed ourlads from baker & it was very well done... i probably liked it better than all but coyle... forget how much it cost (about $20?)
usa today has a real good draft special but out by their sports weekly division... it is like a $5 paper, but definitely magazine quality...
pro football weekly is advertising that they will have a magazine for the first time that should hit the news stands soon...
i just added espn insider exclusive online content ($40) by scouts inc... it is excellent...
this is probably overkill for many, so you can be selective & try 1-2... for my purposes, at $100 plus, it is a small price to pay for a year round hobby...
if they were all identical, i wouldn't have kept getting them, but i like the diversity of multiple perspectives, & having more information by which to form my own conclusions...
i also like to tape things like senior bowl, draft & some of highlight shows... it is great to augment scouting reports written by others with what film you can see of prospects with your own eyes... it helps to ground the written reports... in this context, i found the yahoo nfl video highlight packages of many of the day one (& some day two) draft picks from last year, sorted by team, EXTREMELY useful & handy (i don't think they are up anymore... couldn't find them when i looked a while back)...
* BTW, the PFW guide (book form) is free with a subscription... i don't know of any deals... it is more than $50, i think...
sporting news is a great weekly, & you can get deals on internet... two years ago it was like $10 through independent company that basically gets them for free to boost subscription numbers so they can charge advertisers more (guess once the content is done, the incremental costs of just printing more mags isn't all that great)... last year, i found ad on internet THROUGH sporting news for $20...
usa today sports weekly will have draft content coming up pretty soon (if not already... i haven't checked recently)... they do positional breakdowns week-by-week, than as we approach draft, they do an overall breakdown... its only $1.50 a week (comes out on wed)...

That idiot running ourlads was convicted of selling retired racing dogs to labs. The owners thought he was finding them homes instead of being mutilated in labs. A real scumbag that I definitely wouldn't be supporting.

below is a link to coyle's site (draft insider's.com), with examples of some scouting profiles dating back to 2001, to get a sense of what his guides offer, & if it is for you or not...
http://www.draftinsiders.com/fc.html#yearbook
his larry fitzgerald profile influenced my thinking & was instrumental in grabbing him in a dynasty league after his less than stellar rookie season, right before his sophomore outburst (coyle called him the best WR prospect since randy moss in the past decade)...

Randy Moss
Gifted third year sophomore finished an excellent career in the Big East, setting a number of NCAA, school and conference receiving records in the process. Larry is a special athlete who was a dominant performer in the Big East over his two seasons as a collegian. He combines great size, quickness, speed and playmaking ability that should allow him to be the next impact receiver to enter the NFL. He won the Biletnikoff Award as college football's top receiver this past season, as well as first team Big East honors. He is a well-built athlete with fine speed and outstanding leaping skills that have allowed him to dominate any cornerback he has faced in college. He combines excellent hands and rare body control with outstanding separation speed and the fine running skills to break any completion. He makes the acrobatic catch look routine and several of his catches in the end zone were as good as any in recent memory. He displays a rare combination of speed, quickness, leaping skills and hands. He has the frame to out muscle any corner and the combination of his initial quickness and good functional strength should allow him to beat the jam consistently. He was not challenged often at the line of scrimmage with the bump-and-run and will have to prove he can escape at the line, but he has the talent to accomplish that. He understands the use of body positioning to shield off defenders when going up for the ball and his ability to hang in the air is “Jordanesque”. He will make the tough catch in a crowd and hold on to the ball despite the big hit. He has outstanding leaping ability and is capable of out jumping any defender. He has top speed with the extra gear to get deep and make the big play without world-class speed numbers. He runs a great slip screen, fade pattern and skinny post that is virtually impossible to defend, sometimes even with double coverage. He ranks with Randy Moss as the premier receivers of the past decade. They combine all the talents to be special as an NFL receiver. He is very similar to Moss in many ways, though he lacks the special speed of the Viking Pro Bowl receiver. He also has elusiveness after the catch with the power and cutting skills to change directions quickly fast and maintain top speed. His big play ability and overall maturity may allow him to provide as much impact as any receiver over the past decade as Moss.
The Numbers: Major impact receiver completed a great short two-year career. During the ‘03 season, he caught 92 passes for 1672 yards with 22 TDs and a fine 18.2-yard average. He set a new NCAA record with a TD reception in 18 straight games, while making at least one TD catch in all 12 regular-season games which ended in his career finale in the Continental Tire Bowl loss to Virginia. As a freshman, he caught 69 passes for 1005 yards and 12 TDs with an average per catch of 14.6 yards. He scored a TD in his final six games that season and 8 of his last 9 contests.
The Skinny: Premier blue chip prospect with the talent to be a major impact performer early in his career. He may be the rookie with the ability to make the fastest contribution next season. His well-developed tremendous receiving skills, including excellent body control, leaping ability and terrific hands will merit him an early NFL starting job. At the combine, he did not workout. His outstanding talent will fit into any type of offense, especially the vertical game where his ability to separate deep and outmuscle defenders give him a chance to become a top-flight performer almost immediately. He wants the ball in big situations and defies double coverage to consistently deliver in those situations. He will not get out of the top two to four picks regardless of any trades. Special talent with the rare level of development to be an early Pro-Bowler performer despite only two seasons at Pittsburgh. He should be among the NFL's premier receivers within a short period. Best talent in this class with Raiders and Cards likely club.

Phil Savage - General Manager of the Cleveland Browns
“ I have found Frank Coyle’s information to be very thorough and insightful. In my opinion, any NFL fan who is interested in the NFL Draft would enjoy Draft Insiders’ Digest very much. I know how many hours and months the Ravens and Browns put in preparing for the NFL Draft and I think Frank Coyle and his staff do the same thing.

Looking at his website I now remember it was the third draftguide I got last year and I was impressed with it. I ordered it again this year along with ESPN. Not sure about Ourlads or PFW. Thanks for the great advice! This season I will make sure I store the guides away where I can compare next year. I misplaced them and I think they got thrown out.
Wanted to compare analyise of all guides a year later.

I've been getting Coyle, Kiper, PFW and TSN the last couple of years. I also got the USA Today weekly and agree with Bob that it was very well done. Street & Smith had one last year as well, but I didn't like it as much. May look into Ourlads as well, although I don't like what Funk said as a puppy owner. I'll have to look into that first.
Dave Baker
Damn glad to meet you
Well, until I see some evidence of this, I took it with a grain of salt. You simply shouldn't post something along those lines without some, even a little, evidence of it's truthfulness. And this is not the place for making serious allegations without backing them up.Again, it could be true and I have no reason to doubt Renegade, but without something to support it, I am contemplating deleting his post.

Fair enough. I Googled Tom Hepler Dogs and got nothing.

Ahh...the owner is Dan Shonka. No confirmation that it is the same.
Dave Baker
Damn glad to meet you
Interesting. Here's something I found. Parts of it...
Then I found more evidence that this is, actually, the same Dan Shonka
And the guy who runs Ourlads was quoted as saying:
I think Renegade might be on to something here.
ConstruxBoy
Kate's Daddy
He is. Check out the official address for Ourlads (somewhere in Iowa) and then Google where this happened (somewhere in Iowa).
Makes me pass. Hopefully they'll get someone else in there.

Sorry to leave you guys hanging on the links. I've been busy with work and didn't get a chance to come back to this post. Thanks for adding the links Dave, at the time I didn't have time and planned to come back and add them later.
I'm a dog lover and couldn't imagine giving this guy my money. Just the thought of these dogs busting their tails racing and then when they get a chance to have a normal pet life they get sold to labs where they are mutilated. A real shame and the slap on the wrist he got doesn't come close to fair punishment.

Thanks for the heads up Funk. Saved me $32.
I have never subscribed to an NFL Draft guide because I figured you could read it all online after the fact. But this year I am involved in three or four leagues that will have rookie drafts so I want even more info. I am going to purchase The Drugstore List.

I've found them like this:Coyle
PFW
Kiper
TSN
I almost didn't order Kiper this year, but decided to try another year. It's not that the guide isn't good. It's just that I've grown to trust Coyle and PFW more and Kiper doesn't really offer any major upgrades over them.
ConstruxBoy
Kate's Daddy
No problem. As has been said in other threads, I think Kiper is better at predicting where players will go in the draft than evaluating them as future NFL prospects. It seems that his info is more tailored to the player's draftability than his NFL ability. However, if you use draft guides more to try to predict the draft, his guide is good.

Footballguy
I actually ordered PFW again - so now I have both to get 2 viewpoints. So now I have Coyle and PFW - I believe I'm set.PFW has a special with a combo deal of draft guide and the predraft ranking (what I call guide) you get their online inner circle for free thru the predraft time. I had payed to do it last year and it wasn't great but found a lot of useful information. FYI

Looks like the general consensus is Coyle's with PFW as the strong second, but this coming year will be PFW's with little to no input from Joel Buschbaum's notes. I will splurge and try both PFW and Coyle this year and make next year's decision based on it.
Thanks Renegades of Funk and Dave Baker for your information on Ourlads. I'm not an animal rights activist, but what Dan Shonka did was just plain wrong
and his group will not get a dime from me.

I am also not one to spend a lot of money on NFL draft analysis for the reasons that were cited by Mr. Kellogg above. However...The Drugstore List is a great resource. I have regularly checked his free news and samples for years (he posts snippets of analysis and a top 250 prospects on the website for no charge). It's not the slickest website out there, and you have to print out an order form and mail in your payment, but I think that content-wise it is the best NFL draft resource available online. This year I am actually blasting the lock off my wallet and ordering his March Final edition, even though I am very selective about paying for other people's draft opinions. His free analysis/lists posted on the website have been so good for several years that I want to read his full opinions/profiles.
I am in a 12-team IDP dynasty league run by Tom Nadratowski (a former FBG) and I find Jone's advice to be very useful year in and year out for planning my rookie draft strategy.
