The RSP is a fine piece of work but you are giving Waldman too much credit here regarding Moore. waldman had him ranked as the 24th best Wr in the class comparing him to Bernard Berrien.Bloom and others were higher on Moore.First time buyer of the RSP and I just wanted to tell you that you've done some very high quality work.Bits and pieces of your work last year regarding Denarius Moore WAY before everyone else was on to him was what enticed me to grab a copy of this year's RSP and I'm glad I did. If there's anyone out there that's on the fence about this, not to sound like a used car salesman, but this thing is awesome. There's nothing out there that goes into this amount of detail that can be found anywhere else to the best of my knowledge for this low of a price. $20 is well worth it, and for what it's worth the time I've been paying attention to what Matt has to say whether it's on the podcast, blog, or here in the forums it's usually pretty spot on. There are already a handful of names I expect to slip in our rookie draft that I expect to pounce on due to this publication....and on top of that, knowing what I know from the RSP I can't wait to see how the draft shakes out now. Thanks Matt!
It's pre-draft analysis. Based on talent. Fit is always a nice discussion to have, but the perspective is purely talent and discussion of potential fit, not actual fit.Matt,Is the RSP purely pre-draft analysis, or is there a later, post-draft volume that will include some additional analysis/rankings/etc. of how the players fit in with their NFL teams, how their dynasty value is affected, etc.? By the way, I realize how detailed and thorough it is, so if it's just pre-draft analysis, that's fine -- I'm not criticizing it or anything -- just trying to understand what exactly is included.
That's too bad you feel that way. I don't look at others rankings as I make this, so I would think that if you're disappointed that its close to consensus because in the past it wasn't then maybe you ought to consider that I simply had similar views this year. It happens, although I'm not sure what "consensus" you're speaking of...Picked it up on an impulse this morning and kind of disappointed the rankings at each position are pretty close to consensus.
Might've been a hasty judgment. The QB and RB rankings look very similar to what I've been seeing around but the WR rankings are pretty unique. It's all about the notes anyway.That's too bad you feel that way.

That's great news, Matt. I'm sure you can't switch off your brain, so it's content you'll be thinking anyway. It's very cool that you're planning to share it.I've decided that I'm going to create a post-draft update for the 2012 RSP. I don't know how long it will be, but it will update rankings based on landing spots of players and discuss potential fit, depth chart competition, etc. I will make this available for download as a separate document that will be a part of the purchase with the 2012 RSP.
If you already bought the RSP, it's free and you'll be able to download it when its ready from my site. If you haven't bought the RSP yet, it's simply a part of the original deal and you'll be able to download it with the RSP upon purchase.
I anticipate the update will be available the Sunday May 6, to include as many UDFAs as possible.
It just makes sense to do and I've contemplated doing it for years. I'm giving myself a week to write it. Might take less time, but I can't guarantee anything earlier than the 6th as a delivery date. Like everything else with the RSP, it will probably get better over time so this year is more of an experiment season. Still, I think it will be helpful.'Tick said:That's great news, Matt.

Matt can switch off his brain. I've been in the room when it happens. It's bloody loud. It's better this way. Keep him working, keep him awake.'Tick said:That's great news, Matt.

Hey, those pick value charts are really only basic math to show relative value as a starting point for a discussion, not an absolute rule. They're just something I view as a tool to start a conversation with someone and nothing more. My research goes into watching players. The chart isn't anything that came from special research or wisdom. I just thought it would be convenient to supply them.'renesauz said:Matt...check out the last few posts in the Montario Hardesty thread. I referenced your pick value charts in the discussion and it would be great if you could clarify them.
I'm not as excited about Streeter as others. The athleticism is there, but the skills to me a questionable as is the potential. He was probably in the 35-45 range at his position for me.Awesome news about the post draft update Matt. Comparing talent based view to a destination one will be a vital tool.P.S. I noticed in the RSP you have Tommy Streeter included in your skill breakdown charts but he doesn't appear in the overall ranking for WRs. Where would you put him in the ranking?
May 6 is the scheduled time.Post-draft adder coming soon?
HUMINA! Outstanding work as always!It's now ready. Enjoy!
975How many pages is the RSP + the Post-Draft update? Curious if I can print it out at work and get away with it if I buy it.
