All your NFL draft needs will not by satisfied by Football Perspective. I’ll be writing some meta draft articles, discussing draft pick value, historical expectations, and the like, but I won’t delve too deeply into the current crop of prospects for the 2013 draft. Fortunately, there are many excellent resources out there. I asked Sigmund Bloom and Matt Waldman for their thoughts on some of the best writers covering the 2013 draft. Listed below are their excellent recommendations (along with a few of my own) that should serve your draft needs well; I have also provided links to the twitter accounts of each writer (click on the person’s name for their twitter feed) for the more social media-friendly readers out there:
- Gil Brandt and Daniel Jeremiah both write at NFL.com (Brandt; Jeremiah)
- Josh Norris can be found at Rotoworld
- Rob Rang and Dane Brugler contribute at CBS Sports
- Eric Stoner and Ryan Lownes are both at Bleacher Report (Stoner’s profile; Lownes’ profile), and each does some work on the the side
- Ryan Riddle and Matt Miller can also be found at Bleacher Report
- Russ Lande is a must-read at the National Football Post, and he has his own site, RussLande.com
- Matt Bitonti writes at DraftDaddy
- Tom Melton has his own draft blog
- Eric Galko and Alex Brown can be found at Optimum Scouting
- Scott Wright and Shane Hallam are at Draft Countdown
- Walter Cherepinsky and Charlie Campbell publish a ton of material for Walter Football
- Chris Steuber is at Ourlads
- Josh Buchanan is your resource for small-school prospects
- Tony Pauline writes at Draft Insider
- Lance Zierlein can be found at The Sideline View
Of course, your first go-to sources should be Sigmund and Matt. You can read more from Sigmund at Bleacher Report and Matt at MattWaldmanRSP. And, of course, you can hear both of them and my friend Cecil Lammey on the Footballguys.com free podcast, the Audible. If that’s not enough, you can follow the three of them on twitter here, here, and here. Finally, I strongly recommend Matt’s voluminous 2013 Rookie Scouting Portfolio, his yearly masterpiece which provides the most comprehensive analysis of skill-position talent I’ve ever seen.
