The Couch Scout Site Tour ::
Draft Stuff
( all found in the players sections on the right border)

:
    This site started a NFL, NBA and MLB site.  I decided to put my hobby of rating athletes, on line, because "Earthlink"  gave you free
web space as part of there membership. We used to rate players for
our Strato Matic sports games. that and a college stats class project.
 (got do all that work, might as well enjoy the it) 
So I developed a formula that would let the computer do the heavy lifting, I just loaded in the information. It was objective, more objective then me.

Drafts are listed in the player section
Rank is where the player fits in the whole draft
(you can estimate 7 round x 32 teams 222 at least will be drafted)
Names are listed Last Name 1st, (database sorts better that way)
POS= Positions
Team -College team player last played for, abbreviations are used
often, I have a guide that needs updating
HGT- Height of the player (feet -Inches)
WGT -Weight of the player
SPD- Player's speed in the 40 yard dash
Rating- after throwing all the stuff in computer, the objective rating the formula coughs out

The Site lists ranked drafts from the Draft Eligible to High School
 

Positional Ranking Pages
