Check out a new tool

We’re ready to “unofficially” introduce a new tool, the “Draft Guru” program. It’s very similar to the excel draft tool, although not quite as flexible. We will be adding a few things to it soon. But if you don’t have or like excel, this is something to check out. Basically, it’s a stand-alone draft program that you can use to manage your draft. It will help you pick the best possible players, and it can also be used to track and log any draft. What I like best is the mock draft capability. Using the mock draft feature, you can test out a lot of strategies drafting from your specific draft position and draft against the computer using ADP, VBD, and more (for the computer to make all the other picks). You can export your results when you’re done. I like the simplicity of it. It really should not be very overwhelming for a novice computer user, as the excel-based tool is. If you like the excel tool, just keep using it, as we’ll continue to update it regularly this year.

  • They’re Unnecessary August 3, 2012
    Each year, we publish an article about Overvalues & Players to Avoid, but make a point to say that at the right value, anyone is worth drafting. While I agree with that philosophy for the most part, there is always a group of players I want nothing to do with due to injury history, continuing off-the-field issues, too much competition at the position, or […]

  • Game Notes: Giants, Jets, Raiders, Eagles July 23, 2012
    This off-season, we spent some time watching each and every NFL team again, trying to pinpoint strengths and weaknesses with players we might have missed in the rush of the regular season. The intention was to feel more confident in our analysis for what turned out to be our biggest player profiles ever.We spent more time on some teams than on others, and ev […]
