Great tool! Thanks! I like seeing the number of "fantasy" players that most drafts have going in the 1st . Tons of receivers, 3 RB, and 2 QB's. Problem is how realistic are these things? Fantasy players tend to think only offensive players should be drafted.

I've got a nice cadre of links bookmarked for the NFL draft. Unfortunately they're all on my work laptop (shh! don't tell the boss) so I'll post them on Monday.

There could be some significant "fantasy" players entering the NFL in 2004. I'll be doing a LOT of work researching these players during the off-season, before and after the draft. I hope to put a few mocks up once the NFL play-offs are over and will also be contributing to player profiles and such.

(In no particular order...)

1. DRAFT STUDIO

OK site. Has mocks, rankings, team needs and free agents, and a forum for discussion.

2. FOOTBALL.COM

Click on Draft from the menu. I really like this site. Multiple mocks, rankings, etc. I think last year they had player profiles, so they might still be coming.

3. GREAT BLUE NORTH DRAFT REPORT

Most up-to-date news. Has previous drafts. Lots of good stuff here.

4. NFFL TOP 100

Just a list of top 100 prospects.

5. FOOTBALL'S FUTURE

Link to many mocks. Draft archive where I was able to see that the Eagles selected OG Jermane Mayberry at #25 in 1996 and the Ravens, with the next pick, chose some LB named Ray Lewis. Ouch!

6. NFL DRAFT COUNTDOWN

All the usual stuff. Mock with pics of each player. Overrated and Underrated list. 2003 All-rookie team.

7. THE DRAFT EXCHANGE

Cluttered site with TONS of information. Great list of links. Top 10 of every position listed on first page.

8. NFL INSIDERS

One of the biggies. Great information. Site has Premium content, although there is plenty of free stuff as well. Very reliable information.

9. DRAFT NOTEBOOK (STEVENSON'S SCOUTING SERVICE)

Found this one over the weekend and it's a great one. Click on "Draft Prospects" and choose a position. Has college stats and other important measureables. I love this site.

10. THE FOOTBALL GENIUS

Interesting site with mathematical formulae for predicting top prospects. Not a ton of information, but an interesting "take" on drafting.

This is by no means an exhaustive list of links. Just one to get you started. Many of the sites listed above have extensive link listings to other sites.

Enjoy!

This is obviously a Pats site but it gives links to a LOT of great mock draft sites. Some of them have already been listed above. Most of them still have last year's draft posted, but that should change by February.

Straight off "The REAL Feed", here's a page worth checking out:

http://football.about.com/b/a/064284.htm.

I found the latest mock draft linked to on that page particularly interesting vis-a-vis the one Jeff and Jim are doing here:

Interesting mock, but I have one serious question about it. If the Cardinals stay put at #3 and select a WR (which I can't see happening), why would they take Mike Williams over Larry Fitzgerald? First off, they used a first and second round pick on WRs last season. Secondly, if they do go WR this year, I think they'd be more likely to choose Fitzgerald who has strong ties to Dennis Green.

Just my humble opinion.

Also, for a list of updated mocks, check out the link that BarnabyWilde provided earlier:

Not a "mock draft" as such, but this, from "The REAL Feed", I thought should DEFINITELY be posted here:

These team-by-team draft previews done by The Sports Network, available on both "the Gridiron Newsstand" and "The REAL Feed", are also REALLY good to consider. Here is the one for the 49ers (I believe it is their first one... at least it is the first one I've seen so far):

http://www.sportsnetwork.com/default.asp?c=sportsnetwork&page=nfl/news/ABN3124506.htm.

These are something we should keep our eyes peeled out on "The REAL Feed" for and keep this thread updated with! [smiley=yes.gif]

Just another heads up here regarding those team draft reports done by The Sports Network. ALL of the AFC West teams' are currently up on "The REAL Feed (http://www.fantasyfootballer.com/newsstand.htm)"!

Honestly, there is no way that Roy Williams will be the first WR chosen in the draft - and at #2 overall no less.
