Did anybody else get their Ourlads Draft Guide?

robbieballs2003 : 4/16/2024 2:23 pm
I was able to skim through it last night for a little. It is very detailed. My son asked me what I was looking at. I told him. He tried reading it when he was eating and I said hell no, lol. He is excited to read it. He is at that age now where he is really getting into sports on tv and wants to learn more. The fact that he's into this and we can bond over it was easily worth the price. I'm looking forward to really diving into it over the next week.

Was anybody able to really get into it yet?
I just got it this

I've noticed little changes that are really cool... all of the details at the top such as the projected rounds now (used to be at the bottom of each paragraph). Nice improvement.

BTW, Giants messed with your write-up on the team by re-signing Hodgins and Holmes. ;)

They had to print early this year so a lot of the FA stuff won't be updated

Either last year or the year before and the print was so small I had a hard time reading it. The draft is for the young I guess.

If you order today - you should get before draft for sure.

don't think the print is smaller. I have a stack of the Ourlads guides going back to 2000. (I think I have older ones some place, but am not sure).
I received the PDF version today...

It's very comprehensive and thorough. Player evaluations seem to be a nice balance of positives and negatives. The team overviews in the back are excellent.

I'm not sure - yet - if the layout could be better, but kudos to Ourlads' for not taking shortcuts.

Sy - is this mainly Dan's work? Or a combination of a variety of opinions?
