Rookie Draft Guide Now Available!

Ken Kelly

rookie_draft_guideOver the past few months, we’ve published a record amount of pre-NFL Draft content. We also unleashed the Rookie Draft Board for you to use to review the entire rookie class. As the NFL Draft comes and goes, more information and analysis will be coming your way by the talented team here at DLF.

I was going through the DLF Archive this week in an effort to locate a specific rookie article. After sifting through a bunch of them and being unable to find the piece of information I really wanted, I found myself wishing we had an all-encompassing guide organizing all our rookie coverage for the year. I really wanted something that did the following:

  • Allowed me to review changes from January until now
  • Organized all the rookie information so it was easy to find
  • Put all the opinions and research side-by-side for me to evaluate

So we made one.

You now have access to the first ever Rookie Draft Guide from DLF. Even better, it’s free to you as a Premium Subscriber. This downloadable document is already over 150 pages long and features all the following:

Rookie Cheat Sheet

This first ever Rookie Draft Guide will be continuously updated on an “as needed” basis, so there’s no real need to print it out – just download it to your computer or iPad and enjoy the read. The goal of this document is basically to take all our coverage and put it one easy to find place. We’ll continue to work hard on covering the 2013 rookie class both before and after the draft. I’d like to personally thank each and every one of our writers who contributed to this or focused on other areas to allow the work to be done by the rest of the team. The time spent in putting together all of these articles is unfathomable and we’re all extremely proud of the work that’s been done already in 2013.

The first version of the Rookie Cheat Sheet will be created and released right after the draft and we’ll update the site and this Rookie Draft Guide throughout the Spring and Summer. For now, consider this a free gift for being a Premium Subscriber.

This Rookie Draft Guide effectively brings a close to our first year of offering Premium Content. In that time, we’ve published just under 450 premium articles, the Dynasty Game Plan, the aforementioned Rookie Draft Board, the FADS worksheet and  answered thousands of questions in the DLF Premium Forum. We could have done none of that without the greatest team in the business and a very loyal following.

Thanks for your support!
