Past NFL drafts

• 1982-2005 - sorted every which way (team, year, position, college . . .), on NFL.com. Look here for Raiders drafts from 1982 through 1995.

Past Raiders drafts

• 1960-2004 - in list form, not sorted nor in a database (no internal rankings for 1960-61). On Raiders.com.

B.  Resources

Note (4/2/07):  Most of the material in this section ("B, Resources") was collected in 2006 and has not yet been updated for 2007. Notable exceptions are the first few links under the subsection "Other Resources," which are 2007 listings. In particular, the NFL.com draft tracker has been finalized (barring further trades, obviously) and is authoritative. Even many of the 2006 resource links will still be useful as they are sites which cover the draft year after year. As we get closer toward the end of April this section will be overhauled and—time permitting—each link will be checked for its current accuracy. In the meantime the 2006 links should provide a good starting point for enterprising web jockeys who don't mind nosing around sites for different years' material.

Raiders.com draft coverage

• 2006 NFL Draft - appeared 4/17/06; finally, as of 4/25,06, there is some material there, including a draft tracker.

NFL Trade Value Chart

• Here's a very useful chart which helps calculate the relative trade value of different draft picks. It doesn't say when it was calculated, but it appears all over the web, invariably without a date. This link is to one popular site, Scott Wright's NFL Draft Countdown, but if you like, compare it to the same chart as it appears on another subscription site, Ourlads, which is frequented by scouts and NFL personnel types, and you'll see they're identical.

  Note (4/4/06):  Interestingly, the above-linked chart, which has been on the Net for at least 3-4 years, finally appeared on the NFL.com web site a year ago, where draft columnist Gil Brandt identified it as "one NFL team's value chart, obtained by NFL.com." It has been re-published today by way of a link from an article on the FOXSports site.

Other Resources

• (2007) NFL Draft Tracker - authoritative; includes this year's 32 compensatory picks
  NFL.com

• NFL Experts Blog - NFL   - this ongoing feature has numerous posts—the majority by Yahoo! writer and noted scout John Murphy—covering the (2007) Pro Days of different schools and draft prospects
  Yahoo! Sports, undated

• 2007 NFL Draft Prospects   - the Rivals.com prospects list, with links to player profiles; the top 100 are ranked, with what appears to be 200-300 more in alphabetical order - the rankings come from scout Frank Coyle, who writes for Rivals.com and also has his own site (www.draftinsiders.com, infra)
  Yahoo! Sports, undated

• 2007 Scout.com NFL Draft Rankings   - lists prospects rated Nos. 1-97; not all the height/weight data is accurate
  scout.scout.com, undated (appeared 2/07)

• NFL Draft - Yahoo Sports' tracker is also authoritative; shows trading teams in all picks acquired by trade (NFL.com doesn't do that)
  Yahoo! Sports

• NFL Draft Hub 2006 - this link, different than the URL just above, accesses not only the tracker (albeit in somewhat roundabout fashion) but also other draft-related material, including the Rivals.com profiles on what looks to be about 300 top prospects!
  Yahoo! Sports, undated (appeared 4/15/06)

• Ourlads 2006 Draft Sequence (authoritative) - as of 4/4/06; Ourlads is the heavy duty scouting service, whose publications the NFL clubs' scouts buy
  Ourlads Scouting Services

• PRELIMINARY 2006 DRAFT SELECTION ORDER - the Great Blue North Draft Report, maintained in Canada by Colin Lindsay, is the best of the amateur sites, and a first-rate site in every respect; site shows all "traded from" info
  Great Blue North Draft Report

• ESPN Draft Central - easy navigation, and, unlike 2004 and earlier years, most areas look to be free rather than subscriber-only
  ESPN.com

• 2006 NFL Draft underclassmen
  Yahoo! Sports, Apr. 4, 2006

• 2006 NFL Draft Early Entries
  USA Today, Jan. 20, 2006

• NFL Draft Tracker - and another good tracker - despite the same name, this is not the same site as NFL.com, which has its own tracker
  CBS Sportsline.com, undated

• Prospect Profiles - 200 prospects profiled
  NFL.com

• 2006 NFL Draft - USA Today has a chart listing 400 prospects, with profiles on most. Info is somewhat awkward to retrieve, however.
  USA Today, Apr. 10, 2006

• DraftHistory.com
  Fun reading if you like trivia; incredible array of stats and charts. You could spend hours here with no difficulty . . .  Also lots of PDF publications for past drafts available at reasonable prices.

• The Draft Exchange 2006
  Tons of info, message boards. Tiny fonts are tough on the eyes, and cluttered interface is a little bit intimidating.

• Draft Insiders
  Some free, some parts by subscription. The author, Frank Coyle, is a highly regarded scout. Sloppy (at times even hideous) formatting detracts.

• NFL Draft Blitz
  Includes message board, columnists for individual teams, top 100 and 300 prospects, mock draft, etc. Parts are free, much is subscriber-only.

• NFL Draft Countdown - once first-rate, this fan site has slipped several notches . . .  it's still entertaining, however, with numerous features and daily updates.
  

• Rob's Scouting 2006 NFL Draft
  Lots of content. Site design has some rough edges.

• DRAFT HQ - NBCSports.com's draft portal has a first-round mock on its index page

• ProFootballWeekly.com - excellent analysis, but nearly all features are subscription-only

• DraftSeason.com - well done fan site: mocks, 300 prospects graded,

Disclaimer:  The focus of this site is not the draft. After all the noise and hoopla, most of those picked in the draft in any given year play one or two years in the NFL (if they make it at all), then are gone. So . . .  the coverage here isn't exhaustive. That said, you will find the major developments or stories covered here.
