I'm making the primer to help people have a better experience with the draft. From mock drafts to player rankings. Hopefully this proves to be useful.

If you have any other site that you simply adore, post them and I'll update the post

Mock Drafts

http://www.bigcatcountry.com/special/mockdraft - Wow, my friend just showed me this website. Based a little bit like the hailRedskins site, listing mock drafts and the picks that each site has for the Jags. Great read too!

http://www.hailredskins.com/MockDraft.htm - By far the most comprehensive collection of mock drafts in any one place. Great site because they say when each mock is updated.

http://www.thehuddlereport.com/FREE_CONTENT/top100mock.shtml - Great little chart that shows a bunch of high end mock websites' actual percentage of getting the top 100 prospects correct.

http://www.nfldraftcountdown.com/ - My favorite mock site out there. Player reports, All-Star games coverage, good mocks, great overall site.

http://www.drafttek.com/teamneeds2008.html - I like this website. They take player rankings, weight team needs at each position and then assigns players based upon need/value. The site linked is the assigned values of need for each team, pretty accurate.

http://www.gbnreport.com/index.htm - Good overall site.

http://www.nflmockdraftaces.com/ - Mock draft

Player Rankings -

I took the most accurate websites listed by the Huddle Report.

http://www.nflmockdraftaces.com/Ranking_by_Position.html - Rankings

http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=piTgX1nYpnFapFNUE5IizEA - Tornado's player spreadsheet!

http://www.gbnreport.com/2008prospects.html - A complete list of available prospects. Literally hundreds.

http://www.nfldraftcountdown.com/sub/rankings.html - Rankings, position by position, with a top 100 also.

http://www.drafttek.com/2008players.html - A ranking of players that merges a handful of reputable websites into one list.

http://www.gbnreport.com/top100.html - Top 132 prospects or so.
