I am only going to throw in comparisons where they standout. I will not force them. I don't like spending much time there either.

Disclaimer #2:

Keep the bickering in other threads. This is meant to create discussions about prospects. I do not know if these will be accurate or not. Neither do you.

April is the slowest sports month for me and these reviews certainly help!

So much appreciated!
All hail, Sy!  
GiantBlue : 3/24/2024 8:54 am : link
Thank you so much! Your draft capsules and the ensuing comments are some of the best the BBI presents!
Thank you for being so generous with your time  
Reale01 : 3/24/2024 9:20 am : link
You add so much to the site. Unfortunately, some people on this site sometimes use these reviews as a weapon to shut down all discussion on a player. You deserve a lot of credit for constantly reminding people that they are, in fact, your (albeit very educated) opinion.

They are a great resource and the way they are written is concise, honest, and professional. Really the best I have seen at balancing detail with brevity. Best of luck this year and I share your hope for civil discussion.
Thank you Sy. I look forward to these. I still go back  
Blue21 : 3/24/2024 9:33 am : link
And refer to your old ones that are stored here on BBI.
Thank you Sy  
Keaton028 : 3/24/2024 9:34 am : link
What you do is much appreciated by everyone here. Not sure how long people will be able to keep the bickering off your previews, but hopefully if it happens, it is only on the one about QBs.

Anyway you do us a great service here, and your previews are an awesome staple of BBI in April.
Probably the best part of the off-season on BBI

Thanks Sy’56. I/We respect your work and look forward to you sharing your draft opinions every year. Is there a link to where we can find your 2024 draft work, once published? Does it get published? Does it go into a magazine/full draft guide or anything?

I think Ourlads has a few different draft guides that come out every year

One of the only things that have made following the Giants bearable for the last decade is the amount of knowledge you share in the off seasons. Thank you.
QB day should be interesting

Thank Sy, I value your work and observations.  
Rudy5757 : 3/24/2024 12:56 pm : link
This is the best time of year when you pick in the top 10. Excited to see the QBs and WRs.

I am hoping for WR at 6 and only a QB if he's there at 6.
Thx Sy!

Thanks for investing so much time to make this the best place to go during the draft season.
Thanks Sy.

Can you elaborate a bit on how you calculate your numerical grades on prospects?

And do you know if team scouts approach it similarly?

One of my favorite things on BBI during the year. It makes the draft more fun too.
Looking forward to your draft review

by positions.
Looking forward to this!  
UberAlias : 3/24/2024 9:57 pm : link
You can always count on Sy to give a deep, informed, objective view. I don't think people appreciate how rare and valuable that is. I wish I have the time to commit to film study myself. Not saying that I'd do any better, but in the absence of that --this is golden!
Thanks, Sy..

Not my company - we do have some new leadership and some changes on the horizon. Stay tuned - check out our YT channel which just began a few months ago.

Yeah like when she talks about Pennix "Deep ball accuracy"?
Thank you Sy!

thanks Sy  
Dr. D : 3/27/2024 12:41 pm : link
every year, the 2-3 months before the draft seems to me like the longest wait time in sports. Like waiting 2-3 months for a table at your favorite restaurant.

Sy helps make it less painful.
Thank you, Sy.  
CT Charlie : 3/28/2024 9:36 pm : link
I have friends who are fans of other teams (I know, I know..) who regularly ask me during draft season, "What does Sy think?" You're the best.

And I really appreciate your reminder that the whole process is still speculative – informed and thoroughly researched, but still... you can't see into the future. Very honest and humble.
Much appreciated  
flyswimwalk : 3/29/2024 11:42 am : link
Can't wait for your analysis. Is there a link to your YT channel?
Thanks man looking forward to them!
