Title: 2004 NFL Draft Resources
Post by StegRock on Apr 6^th, 2004, 4:51pm

With the '04 NFL Draft now very quickly approaching, I thought I'd provide you guys with the following draft resources from "the Gridiron Newsstand - Big Media/General Sports News Sources". I didn't append these to the "2004 NFL Mock Draft Links" thread because these are not (just) mock drafts. These at least incorporate other extensive resources, information and write-ups and in most of the cases just provide general rankings and presentations:

Thought that this from "the Gridiron Newsstand" was worth posting about and was quite ironic given our putting in our "2 cents" here starting tomorrow:

Funny, huh?

I'd definitely be interested in going, but I've heard (don't remember where) that you need to get there very early as the line forms early and there are limited tickets.
