Draft Daddy has a list for the upcoming 2013 NFL draft and in a strange twist have Margus Hunt and Bjorn Werner from SMU and Florida State respectively going in the top 20. I am not against this but having 2 guys coming from Europe of all places with all the talent that does not get recruited in this country is a bit odd to say the least.

One of the fairest and well put together draft sites out there. They consistently post links to college players who have put in the work but are still undervalued. As you can guess most of these guys are white..

-Closer look at prolific University of New Hampshire linebacker Matt Evans, who believes he could earn a contract as an undrafted free agent.

Draftdaddy is the only site out there that actually compliments and fairly covers white draft prospects. It has been discussed on more than one occasion on this site. They do not outright challenge the system but make both subtle and not so subtle comments as to why certain players (i.e. white players) are described and viewed in certain ways. They just provide unbiased and truthful analysis and info.

Their mock drafts do disappoint me somewhat but I understand this is due mostly to them trying to be accurate as possible as to what is going to happen and not what should happen in a fair world.

I actually emailed them a few months back and told them how much I appreciated their work and volunteered to help them post articles but my email was never replied too :icon_cry:

Amazingly Draftdaddy has 2 wr in its top 10 draft with Ryan Swope at # 3. It has Burkhead and Line in the top 10 for its rbs and 3 safeties in the top 10 and 8 out of 10 Tight ends. Not to shabby.

Draft Daddy once again doing a fair job of promoting our guys. The article links are in the player names.

Despite mediocre 40 time, Nebraska's Rex Burkhead was a "top performer" in five testing categories at Combine.

Florida State defensive end Bjoern Werner would welcome switch to outside linebacker in a 3-4 alignment.

Maryland tight end Matt Furstenburg should see his draft stock rise after impressive N.F.L. Combine.

Not anymore -- now it's no White WRs, RBs and safeties. Even Swope doesn't crack the top ten.

Saginaw Valley State safety Jeff Heath, who ran a 4.4/40 last spring, gets big chance in facing N.F.L. scouts today.

The caste ma$ters must've made some calls and told them their previous top 10 wasn't "kosher". :kev:

And once again, Steve Tasker calls himself a "marginal player." And during the studio banter at the end of the video, the older White guy says that Steve "wasn't the most talented player" but "had a great motor." Jim Kelly and other of his Bills teammates said that Tasker was "uncoverable" during practices, but by Caste System logic he couldn't play receiver during games because he was "marginal."

Steve Tasker has always embraced the Caste System, eagerly castigating his own ability and reliably using Caste-speak while broadcasting NFL games. I wish his son well, but given that he only did 9 bench presses and ran a 4.59 40 at his Pro Day and attended an Ivy League school, his chances of sticking on an NFL roster are very remote.

If height was a talent that is the only thing he was marginal in. I think if he came along 10 years later he could have been at least a poor mans Welker as they are close to the same measurables and Tasker had a pentient to get open like Welker. I would love for his son to be more than an legacy player who gets a try out and makes headlines for a few weeks and then is quietly cut.

That's difference between white athletes and black athletes. If you were to ask any black ex NFL receiver who played 10 friggin years in the NFL, he'd tell you he was the best thing since sliced bread. Instead you have mr team player inTasker who downplays his obvious talent.. Its frustrating but at least he's promoting his son as better.
