The draft thread we have here is a lot of content. this is not a criticism, because @Faust rules, and deserves a free lifetime FBG Pro Platinum Membership, with 24" rims, and full undercoating. Or something. But there is a lot of content in there, mocks, and puff pieces, that are not helpful to me as a dynasty owner. Which is not to say that I ignore that stuff, but a good mock draft will NOT give you any more info to help your fantasy team. Mock drafts are for draft fans, which I am, and for casual fans (which guy are we getting in the 1st?).
I'm thinking about something more curated, a collection of good scouting reports, video breakdowns, maybe just quality video clips, tweets with interesting analytics, good breakdowns etc. Cool things we come across that seem useful, and we don't want to forget.
I think there might be a use for this, but I have selfish reasons for this as well. Often times I come across something, a good stat that looks poorly or favorable on a player, and it's a data point I will want to retain. I want to save it, to consider later when I am trying to rank a guy. But I will forget it, I might remember that I vaguely remember reading something that made me slightly less bullish on a guy, but if you don't remember exactly what it was, you aren't making the best decision you could be. Maybe this is only me, and everyone else is much more organized, and has a better memory than I do, and can pull all the data they want on draft day. If so, Hey! Good for you! Buh bye then.
I will definitely use this first post as a master list of the best links, if it turns out we need that.
The way that I use Twitter is that I make lists, which I keep updated pretty well.
This one here is a very incomplete list of Twitter draft guys who have a lean towards analytics, and focus on data. Any account people think I am missing, or can recommend, please do!

The other way I use it is by following a good amount of analysts, but I don't scroll. I never scroll. If you wanna see tweets regarding upcoming podcasts, scroll. I will search for a player, then filter just the accounts I am following, which eliminates noise, and it's a good place to start down a rabbit hole, looking for bad and good in a player.
The PFF Stock Exchange podcast I have really been OK with, they have been doing a series of top 5-8 guys at each position, which is a GREAT place to start if you are just starting to get into draft swing. Bear in mind, their rankings are all post-season, pre-combine. I think this is super interesting to track and remember, and see which players really move up or down rankings, because in my own experience, when I see a guy do that, I investigate further, and maybe I think the drop or rise is too much, and often times in rookie drafts, that's when you can score value, or avoid a bust.
