FINAL UPDATES: 11:15 p.m. April 24th
Friends that visit the site... THANK you for the feedback, encouragement, and communication back and forth throughout this past year regarding the 2013 NFL Draft. It's finally here, which is always bitter-sweet. On one hand, we finally get to have our "day in the sun" when we enjoy our "Christmas in April." On the other hand, it's certainly a downer to have all the work on a draft class come to an end. HOWEVER, one caveat is that this is the most frustrating draft class I've ever personally worked on!
... I think we'll see a record number of trades on the first night of the draft. No, not because the talent is so great, but rather, because teams will target specific attributes of particular players that fit their schemes. It will be fun to see how the QB's actually fall in this draft. It will also be fun to figure out what teams like Philadelphia and Cleveland have been thinking all along, as they hid their intentions so well!
Enjoy the draft everyone!
Update: 22 April, 2013:
The Steelers Draft Preview Page has been updated, so for my friends of Steeler Nation, please check that out!
Update: 21 April, 2013:
Final Value Boards have been uploaded (see Offensive and Defensive Value Board Links). 174 offensive players and 163 defensive players have been slotted into their assessed value in terms of the 2013 NFL Draft. Of course, it's not an exact science and each team will have a different evaluation of a player just as every crack-head draftnik wacko like me will have a different feel for how this plays-out... but at least it's a starting point that we can consider when observing how the draft unfolds!
