Ourlads' Guide to the NFL Draft and Free Agency

The Guide is printed in late March or very early April in time for the draft. This thorough, eighty-page report features:

›	A Position Review
	Sequenced by OURLADS' rating.

›	Over 900 players
	Who we feel are the most likely draftable talents will be included from a database of over 5,000 players.

›	Descriptive Text
	Expanded in recent years on over 275 players.

›	Index by OURLADS' Rating (value board)

›	Index by Name (including ratings)

›	Index by College/University (including ratings)

›	Team Needs / Depth Charts
	A page for each NFL team describing Team Needs and providing a supporting Depth Chart.

›	Round-by-Round Projection
	(Mock Draft) of the entire draft.

›	Mock Draft
	Featured in March, gives our projections on the possible course of the draft.

›	The Laddies
	Presents Ourlads' Awards to draft eligible players in various categories by position, from the crème de la crème to free agent finds. (In some years, lack of space does not allow for inclusion of the Laddies in the Guide. But in this event, they will always be found in the April newsletter).

Our April newsletter is included, free of charge, with purchase of the Guide. It comes out shortly prior to the draft. In addition to the Laddies (when they do not appear in the Guide itself), you will find articles where some of our Lads are allowed to vent their feelings regarding players they found to be particular favorites or players who they feel are overrated, lacking something, or are otherwise disappointing.

Review Issue

In the past, we put out a combined Review/Preview issue. A few years ago, we decided to publish separate Review and Preview editions. This was done to get the Review into the hands of our subscribers earlier while allowing for additional time to prepare our Preview Issue. The Review Issue is a thirty-six page booklet that includes:

›	A Round-by-Round Log of the year's NFL Draft

›	Team-by-Team Evaluations
	With each team receiving grades from excellent to poor for the quality of its selections.

›	A Team-by-Team listing of draft choices

›	A Review of free agency

›	Post-draft/pre-camp Depth Charts

›	Perspectives/Trends
	Touching on the draft, free agency, and other issues.

›	Passed-Over Talent and Free Agent Signings

Preview Issue

The Preview Issue will come out in August prior to the start of the college football season. It is a six-page document that provides a Positional Look at the top college seniors of the coming year as a Preview to next year's NFL Draft.
