Question NFL Draft Books?

I’ve been purchasing Kiper’s Draft Report for the past few years, but I would like to try a different draft magazine this year, but I do not see too many alternatives. I would appreciate any suggestions/recommendations. (Yes, I know I could probably find most information online…I just like having an actual publication). Thanks.

I've always read the ProFootball Weekly Draft Guide. I have every one going back to about 1990.

It has always been good and as accurate as I think you can get considering it's published in March.

Since Joel Buchsbaum (sp?) died, I think they've lost a little umph, but still very good if you want a hard copy as opposed to Internet material.

I'd recommend that one. It's available at 'Books-A-Million' or 'Barnes & Noble' around where I live.

Ourlads is really good, perhaps even better than Kiper's... I subscribe to both...

Ditto... I really like Ourlad's...

The late Joel Buschbaum used to have some quality stuff as well...

Buchsbaum was indeed the king... he was the biggest reason I read PFW...

PFW's is still really good. Ourlads is nice but a little pricey. The Sporting News Guide isn't quite as in-depth but is'nt bad.
