What NFL Draft resources do you buy? (1 Viewer)

I've purchased Frank Coyle's Draft yearbook the last 5 years (Draft Insiders Digest). The content is solid but it seems like they've been starting to skimp a bit the past few years. First area I noticed was in the last 2 years they must've fired the copy reader. The text is loaded with typos. So much that it's actually distracting.

This year I noticed they eliminated a whole section of the book. It used to consist of player profiles organized by position. Then the latter portion of the book had a 1 page writeup of each teams primary needs as well as a couple of players they likely were targeting. This year ... no team writeups!!!

IIRC the price has gone up about $10 in the last 3 years too. So basically I'm paying more and getting less, and the quality is going downhill. Despite all of this I have to say that I still really like Coyle's information. However this latest slight has really gotten under my skin. I'm considering switching my allegiances to another source but I wanted to get some feedback. I figure several of you purchase similar mags/digests. What sort of information can you share? Are you happy with what you're getting? Is it priced adequately? I have a couple of friends who have bought Ourlads stuff but they're not the best Fantasy Football performers so I don't really trust their opinion on the material.

TIA

I usually stick with Coyle and PFW. ESPN and Scouts, Inc look to have a good product this year too. Nawrocki (PFW) and Coyle differ in quite a few places this year, especially on the defensive side of the ball. Some of the difference is expected (eg. projecting the tweeners) but there are some interesting differences in the second tier of defensive linemen and linebackers. Maybe always been this way and I didn't notice it until this year. Scouts/ESPN have been more in line with Coyle than PFW on these players. I think both are reasonably priced for the depth of information they provide.

I use the guys at NFLDraftReview and Scott Wright's NFLDraftCountdown.com for updates and extra detail. And I tend to scour for innernet info during minicamps and training camp for confirmation.

I never really cared for Ourlad's.
