I usually get all my Draft info from BBI. If I want more I'll visit great blue north or Walter football. But this year I thought I'd buy a draft guide, see if I like it.
Once the Combine is here NFL.com will have profiles run for almost every player in the draft (all who were intivted to the combine) with their combine results and a quick scouting report written about each player.
Last year it was Nolan Naworicki, this year it's Lance Zierlein (he writes for The Houston Chornicles, has a radio show, is the founder Sidelineview.com, and most importantly his father is an offensive line coach in the NFl so he knows the game.
I'd use that as great resource.
As far as "magazines go" do yourself a favor at go to Mattwaldmanrsp.com It's "the rookie scouting portfolio" and he does great work. Now it's more limited though--he focuses on offensive skill position players, but if you want to learn something he's your man.
DraftNasty, run by Barney and Corey Chavous. Website and Magazines.
Klaatu, in your view, how does this compare to OurLads' evaluations and projections? Just curious because, unaided by much knowldge, I've usually agreed with your picks going into the draft (Amaro, for example, though getting Richburg -- if one had to choose, as the Giants did -- was probably preferable in round 2 last year).
You'll have access here, just ask about prospects and positions

PFW during JB's era was the best, I still usually buy it even though it's slipped a bit without him.

lol - that's a hit site but their mocks/needs couldn't be more far off.
