Exactly. Very few people seem to realize this, haha

Sidenote, but this is another reason why I really don't see Philly looking to draft a RB at 1.32 - they don't have another pick for the next 2 rounds! Unless they grade Guice as a top-10 talent, and he falls all the way to 32...

Just glancing at the numbers it's definitely going to be interesting. I haven't gotten around to sorting all the data yet or even watching film, I've been really lazy this off-season. This thread prompted me to look up when the NFL draft was and for once the draft has kind of snuck up on me, can't believe it's this weekend already :crazy: .
Oh no. Will it be out around the same time this year?

I've said it before and I'll say it again - DD should charge for this thing. Or at least have an option for people to pay if they're so inclined.

Agreed.

My guess is this year has 3 players listed in the top tier of the RB report, Barkley/Guice/Penny. All 3 tested well at the combine with elite college production and are above average for size. Chubb/Michel hurt each other in the production category knocking them down a tier.

And if I recall correctly, they have to be drafted in the top 3 rounds to make the list.

I do believe DLF posters donated enough last year so that he could access the paywall(s) he needed for the information required. Maybe they will do so again this year. :)

From what I recall, this is correct. People did kick in some cash to help DD get the report together in 2017.

Yeah that was pretty cool and it really helped a lot, I was flat broke last year lol. The people who donated were very generous.

I actually did put a link to my paypal at the bottom of last years report if anyone felt compelled to pay what they felt it was worth, I just made it small and inconspicuous (apparently too small and inconspicuous as no one used it :lol: ). I'm honestly not sure what the site's policy is about soliciting money. I feel like I go back and forth on the money thing every time I think about it. Frankly I don't know the first thing about setting up some type of payment/distribution system. I will say each year it gets harder and harder to muster up the energy to do it for free though. If I were to charge I would probably put a bit more work into it and could have it out the day after the draft, maybe even have a pre-draft version of it.

Considering FF Ghost advertises his Orange report (with price listed) on the forums, I see no issue if you were to either (a) charge or (b) solicit donations.

Count me as one who would be happy to donate to keep it going.

Not disagreeing with you ArrlT, as obviously you're right. But perhaps the fact that FF Ghost used to write for DLF plays into the equation a bit? Maybe... :think: I don't know.

This. Also, I am far more likely to throw someone 5 bucks for a very good piece of work after I get a chance to check it out, than I am to pay an asking price of 5 dollars out of principle

Even if his hits aren't super right (which he's done a pretty good job at calling out 1st round busts to avoid which is highly valuable), it's still a lot of valuable work from someone I did take into account some last year, and also remembered his love affair with Foreman in my decision to pay a 2nd and Sanu for this offseason to grab Miller's handcuff and lock up that backfield

Make it bigger next time bro haha. I don't remember seeing that at all last year. I'll chip in 5 if you leave it as a donation and not a pay to view. Judging from the support here, and the donate for DD chorus you'll get in the thread once you post it, I bet you'd make some good beer money or to cover your league's entry fees

Edit: Holy cow did you make that small. No wonder I missed it. Couldn't even read what it said on my browser, just saw the text was a different color so I clicked the link. $5 coming your way for last year's report
