I'll start with a dynasty DD. If you dont already have one. That would be cool. Maybe Daily/Weekly prospect scouting? something like a prospect of the week were everyone would breakdown prospect before and after the draft.
DD request noted.Have you checked out ones to watch? It follows 5 top prospects from QB WR and RB throughout the season - Cecil and I write it. Dark Phoenix is written by Cecil and it covers deeper college prospects. Dynasty Watch is a feature that Jeff Pasquino, Will Grant, and I writer weekly that covers deep dynasty prospects in the NFL.Can you explain how the prospect scouting you would want is different from these features?

Since i'm not a paying customer yet.... errrrI haven't really seen those.But what I was thinkin was Taking one guy (ie Anthony Gonzales) and breaking him down for a week or so. Homer perspective, actually scouting reports, interesting notes and stats, physhical breakdown, strength vs weakness, comparisons, future roles. etc....

Hmmmm. Maybe having a bit more focus on who is a good buy low/sell high for all players. There seems to be a lot of rookie discussion but what about guys like Frank Gore? Opinions on if he is a true stud for 5 years aor potentially a sell high after a big season? I would like more of an angle such as this.

I have read the columns a few times. This is pretty much what they do. Yet another reason why the FBG sub is worth the $$

I'd like to see tiering of your rankings or a numerical value assigned to the players based on expected relative performance

like a point system?

Yeah sure, like say they consider LT to have the best year for a RB next year. His value would = 100. Then the subsequent RBs FF points are based upon that.
Rankings based on future projection period (i.e., rankings based on short-term perspective of 1-2 years, medium-term of 3-4 years, and long-term beyond 4 years). Number of years into the future is flexible, those are just some ideas. I think such rankings would help for dynasty leagues and for keeper leagues.
Projections dominator and draft dominator for dynasty drafts would be the best.

Also think it would have to be 2 separate programs. one for start up/initial draft and one for just rookies are just a way to update the one you have.I agree
Another posting brought this up, but I think it would be great to see a point assignment assigned to say the top 200 dynasty players, plus a point valuation for each pick for that yr's upcoming draft. One of the great things about dynasty is the ability to trade (and trade for) draft picks in that yr or the next yr. It would be good to get a point valuation of draft picks to better help evaluate trades.
I think it would also be good to have interviews with some college scouts about players down the road. For instance, I'm already thinking about the 2008 draft. Is it RB-heavy..WR-heavy..etc. What kind of players could potentially come out and what kind of can't miss prospects are out there? Who/What/Should can I trade on my current roster in order to stockpile draft picks in a draft with multiple can't-miss prospects? In a dynasty league you have to think long-term because chances are guys who are in dynasty leagues are pretty hard-core FFL players and will be looking for an edge themselves.
Other than that, the FBG has made some great strides in the dynasty arena.

Might be what you are looking for regarding valuation of dynasty draft picks.

I think that is for initial drafts. and not rookie draft picks

I think it would be great if all writers used the same weighted formula for dynasty rankings..like 50% current year, 30% next year, and 20% 3rd year. Just seems like some writers are using different standards. Posting these standards would be great too

Warning: selfish reply below
My request would be to make the FBGs' staff rookie and dynasty rankings SUBSCRIBER MATERIAL, all year long.
The reason why I am concentrating on the rookie & dynasty rankings, and not mentioning the redraft rankings, is that redraft rankings are all over the internet. I believe the FBGs rookie and dynasty rankings are still at this time very unique in their delivery.
This particularly affects dynasty leagues which draft in the May/June timeframe (as mine do) - the non-subscribers get this great feature for free, during the rookie draft when it is most critical.
Whether you guys take my suggestion or not, thanks a million, Bloom!

Beto's 1st Round Pick Value Study is a really great starting point and a valuable reference source, but I'd like to see that idea updated and expanded (e.g. larger database of rookie drafts to draw on, extend the study to 3-4 rounds of rookie picks, IDP considerations, the value of picks 2-3 years down the road, a more transparent method of determining those values, etc.)
For the record, I probably reference that guide at least 10 times per year and I'd do it more often if it included more of the things I mentioned above.

Blooms top 100 rookie rankings are, to me, the most valuable piece of information available on this site for dynasty teams. They are pure gold.
In addition I would like to see a rookie update at about week 8-9 weeks into the season, in time for final waiver wire pickups and trading deadlines. Especially on rookie IDPs, pretty much everyone knows about the offensive rookies and can see how they are playing but IDP rookies are much harder to keep up with. Who will have opportunities down that line that we don't know about? I don't have a clue.
Dynasty rankings in general at about the same times as the Rookie rankings would by nice with the addition of a ranking after week 16 of the season. Again I am blind in the IDP area, I am trying to learn and I think that FBG has the best IDP articles and information available but when I go to determine my free agent list I have a difficult time trying to determine if I want to put David Thornton, Marcus Washington or Eric Barton on the list. I know that Roman Harper was doing well before he got hurt but dont have a clue about his value down the line? Antoine Bethea was a wiver wire pickup for me but is he worth keeping in the off-season? Stuff like this drives me crazy because even though I may have picked them up based on IDP articles throughout the season when I go look for dynasty rankings it is difficult to come up with the data.
It would also help in determining if I want to bid on any of the IDPs that other owners have put out in free agency.
I cannot count on the fingers of both my hands how many times I have had to go to the PreSeason link on the home page to try and find the latest Dynasty rankings and that just seems like a place that you should not have to go to get that information.
Weekly projections during the season are nice but to build a dynasty team you need long term projections at certain times of the year to help you make good trades and waiver wire moves for the upcoming seasons.

How do I find a link to "Dynasty Rankings" without resorting to the search function? Perhaps I should spend less time here in the forums and more time in the subscriber area, but surfing FBG for dynasty material has been a chore for me. Is there an Easy Button I'm missing? It could be the
The interview with Rob Rang (I think that was the guy's name from NFLDraftScout) last year was very good. I'd like to see that again.Organized links to videos of rookie prospects would make my day.Dynasty Blog for Bloom, Cecil, Pasquino, etc. I want to be able to get commentary more frequently and without the garbage that gets tossed around in the Shark Pool. The Bloom 100 is great, but I hate wading through the crap to see Bloom's comments. Content like the Bloom 100 is better suited for a Blog than a bulletin board. People can still add comments to a Blog, but the reader can expand/collapse if they desire.
I guess this could go in the FBG comment thread, but I'd love to see Blog's for all the Staff Members. I'd love seeing real-time commentary on Sundays from various writers.

I think it's silly for people to be asking for dynasty rankings. Dynasty rankings are subjective in that value is not the same from owner to owner. This, of course, doesn't factor in if a person likes the player. Basically, some place way too much value on youth and potential opposed to actual performance or "today's pts." One man's treasure is another man's trash. Yes, there are some common underandings about players. Not only do rankings not work..it depends on a person's roster too. Thus, an overaged WR who is scoring could be the cog that makes the wheel go for one owner and an over the hil bum for another.
Again, I find really odd that so many posters want weekly updates and such. I find it good to disagree on dynasty value and can understand a different point of view regarding "value." I wouldn't want a cookie cutter, which I think some appear to be asking for...

I love Phoenix and dynasty watch goodies.....
I would like to see something similar to stocks, or the Car n Driver (or is it Motortrend) that does the LONG term reviews.. lets track the bloom top 25.. over the next 36 months.....add in the one's like Colston, as the year goes on, and remove the ones like Carr, and Harrington
every year at open and close of season, review the bloom25, those that are in added, and dumped
every week of the offseason, focus on something different, maybe BIGGER than rookie stuff,,,
2 months should be able to talk about each conference, before the combine.......player level reports upt to the draft, and the draft review, and team reports up to the regular in season stuff...
keep feeding the junkie.... please
